Methods Documentation

classmethod from_name(name='NectarCam', version=None)

Construct a CameraReadout using the name of the camera and array.

This expects that there is a resource accessible via get_table_dataset called "[array]-[camera].camreadout.fits.gz" or "[array]-[camera]-[version].camgeom.fits.gz".

Parameters:

name: str

Camera name (e.g. NectarCam, LSTCam, …)

version:

camera version id (currently unused)

Returns:

new CameraReadout

classmethod from_table(url_or_table, **kwargs)

Load a CameraReadout from an astropy.table.Table instance or a file that is readable by astropy.table.Table.read.

Parameters:

url_or_table: string or astropy.table.Table

either input filename/url or a Table instance

kwargs: extra keyword arguments

extra arguments passed to astropy.table.Table.read, depending on file type (e.g. format, hdu, path)

to_table()

Convert this to an astropy.table.Table.
