thaw

Allow indicated parameters to vary. (See also freeze.)

XSPEC> thaw [<param range>...]

where <param range> =:: {<param #> | <param #>-<param #>}. The indicated parameter, or range of parameters, will be marked as variable by the fitting commands, by setting their associated <delta> to greater than zero (see newpar command). (Note that parameters with <delta> values equal to zero are not affected. The newpar command must be used to change these.) By default, the range will be the last range input by either a freeze or thaw command. See the freeze examples for an example of the use of the thaw command.
