Caption: Figure 3.

Cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) of the zeroth- and ± first-order counts as a function of energy for the main flare and the quiescent interval, further subdivided into pre- and post-main flare intervals. The quiescent and flare CDFs differ at >95% confidence. The rise in the quiescent CDF at 6.6 keV indicates a strong contribution from the known iron emission.
