We announce the public release of a one dimensional version of the Photon Clean Method (PCM1D). This code is in the general class of "inverse Monte Carlo" methods and is specifically designed to interoperate with the public analysis tools available from the Chandra Science Center and the HEASARC. The tool produces models of event based data on a photon by photon basis. The instrument models are based on the standard ARF and RMF fits files. The resulting models have a high number of degrees of freedom of order the number of photons detected providing an alternative analysis compared to the usual method of fitting models with only a few parameters. The original work on this method is described in ADASS 1996 (Jernigan and Vezie). We thank H. Tananbaum and J. McDowell of the Chandra Science Center, S. Kahn, the RGS/XMM-Newton US team leader, and W. Craig and S. Labov of the I Division of LLNL for their support for the development of the PCM concept. We thank P. Beiersdorfer and the EBIT team for the support to develop the first public version of PCM1D.
