A multi-temperature, variable abundance mekal model using the exponential of a sixth order Chebyshev polynomial for the differential emission measure (eg Lemen etal. ApJ 341, 474, 1989). The abundances are relative to the Solar abundances set by the abund command. The switch parameter determines whether the mekal code will be run to calculate the model spectrum for each temperature or whether the model spectrum will be interpolated from a pre-calculated table. The former is slower but more accurate.

par2	   = 	 Chebyshev polynomial coefficient 2

par3	   = 	 Chebyshev polynomial coefficient 3

par4	   = 	 Chebyshev polynomial coefficient 4

par5	   = 	 Chebyshev polynomial coefficient 5

par6	   = 	 Chebyshev polynomial coefficient 6

par7	   = 	 H density (cm  )
