Abstract: Pixlib, an AXAF Science Center (ASC) coordinate library, has been developed as the continuing effort of (He 1997). Its expansion includes, handling of the High Resolution Mirror Assembly (HRMA) X-ray Detection System (HXDS) stage dither and the five-axis mount (FAM) attachment point movements, correction of misalignments of the mirror mount relative to X-ray calibration facility (XRCF) and to the default FAM axes, as well as solution of sky aspect offsets of flight, etc. In this paper, we will discuss the design and the configuration of the pixlib system, and show, as an example, how to integrate the library into ASC data analysis at XRCF.
