6. Environmental variables

aXeSIM uses some of the 'traditional' aXe environmental variables and introduces two new, specific ones. The variables and their usage are:

• AXE_SIMDATA_PATH: the path where the template spectra, template images and total passband files are located.
• AXE_OUTSIM_PATH: all output of aXeSIM is written to this directory path
• AXE_IMAGE_PATH: the path where the model object table is located (as input to simdispim, simdirim and simdata).
• AXE_CONFIG_PATH: the path where the aXe configuration file and the sensitivity file(s) are located
• AXE_OUTPUT_PATH: the directory path all embedded aXe tasks write their output to. This is only intermediate data which can be deleted once the corresponding simlation has finished.
