. XMM-Newton Science Analysis System . echeckregion (especget-1.27.7) [???] . Meta Index / Home Page . echeckregion calculates whether the centre of an input region falls on an exposed part of an EPIC CCD. If the area falls on a chip, but outside the telescope field-of-view or outside the observing window, for small and large-window observations, the output status is set false. Otherwise status is set true. XMM-Newton SOC/SSC -- 2008-10-24
