The XRISM CALDB is stored on the <a href="https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/caldb/data/xrism">HEASARC CALDB data server</a>, and periodically updated.   The XRISM CALDB consists of the calibration data for the XTEND and RESOLVE instrumenta, and also general data (GEN) for the spacecraft as a whole. XRISM analysis software (distributed with HEASoft) uses data in the XRISM CALDB to calibrate data. In addition XRISM analysis also makes use of <a href="https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/caldb/data/gen">general calibration data</a> stored in the HEASARC CALDB. </p> <p>The XRISM CalDB can be downloaded using the links in the table below, and <a href="/docs/heasarc/caldb/install.html">installed</a> on the user's machine, or <a href="/docs/heasarc/caldb/caldb_remote_access.html">accessed remotely</a>. Note that some components related to raytracing tasks are very large, so downloading the data locally may be preferred by users to minimize remote network transfers.</p> <p>The CalDB will be used with the XRISM tools which are distributed as part of the <a href="https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/software/lheasoft/"> HEASoft</a> (starting with HEASoft version 6.34). Users only need to download and install the two instrument CalDB tar files for a fully working XRISM CalDB compatible with the analysis software.  <br> <table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="1" width="100%"> <tr bgcolor="#0875a1"> <td colspan="4"><center><b>XRISM CALIBRATION DATA</b></center></b></td> </tr>     <tr bgcolor="#fff5ee"> <td>GEN <a href="/docs/heasarc/caldb/data/xrism/gen">Index Summary</a></td> <td>Current Version: 20241115</td> <td><a href="/docs/xrism/calib/releases/XRISM_gen_CalDB_10_Release_Note.txt">Release Notes</a></td> <td><a href="https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/caldb/data/xrism/gen/goodfiles_xrism_gen_20241115.tar.gz" title="gen tar file" >Download</a> </td> </tr>     <tr bgcolor="#fff5ee"> <td>Resolve <a href="/docs/heasarc/caldb/data/xrism/resolve">Index Summary</a></td> <td>Current Version: 20241115</td> <td><a href="/docs/xrism/calib/releases/XRISM_Resolve_CalDB_10_Release_Note.txt">Release Notes</a></td> <td><a href="https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/caldb/data/xrism/resolve/goodfiles_xrism_resolve_20241115.tar.gz" title="resolve tar file" >Download</a> </td> </tr>     <tr bgcolor="#fff5ee"> <td>XTEND <a href="/docs/heasarc/caldb/data/xrism/xtend">Index Summary</a> </td> <td>Current Version: 20241115</td> <td><a href="/docs/xrism/calib/releases/XRISM_Xtend_CalDB_10_Release_Note.txt">Release Notes</a></td> <td><a href="https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/caldb/data/xrism/xtend/goodfiles_xrism_xtend_20241115.tar.gz" title="XTEND tar file" >Download</a> </td> </tr>     <tr bgcolor="#fff5ee"> <td>General <a href="/docs/heasarc/caldb/data/gen">Index Summary</a> </td> <td>Current Version: 20240822</td> <td>Release Notes</td> <td><a href="https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/caldb/data/gen/goodfiles_gen_20240822.tar.Z" title="GEN tar file" >Download</a> </td> </tr> </table> <h3>XRISM <a href="/docs/xrism/calib/xrism_caldbdocs.html">Calibration Documentation</a></h3> <h3>XRISM Caldb <a href="/docs/xrism/calib/xrism_caldbhistory.html">Release History</a></h3> </div>  <div id="right-column">   <div id="quicklink-box"> <h1>XRISM Calibration Archive and Software</h1> <p>The calibration data are archived in the HEASARC calibration database (CALDB).
