detector_lookup

The purpose of the detector_lookup utility is to act as reference in the code for the various characteristics of the soxs detectors.

When initiated detector_lookup reads the detector characteristics from a Detector Parameters file and can later serve these parameters to the soxspipe code when requested.

class detector_lookup(log, settings=False)

return a dictionary of detector characteristics and parameters

Key Arguments:

• log – logger

• settings – the settings dictionary

Usage:

To initiate a detector_lookup object, use the following:

from soxspipe.commonutils import detector_lookup
detector = detector_lookup(
    log=log,
    settings=settings
).get("NIR")
print(detector["science-pixels"])

get(arm)

return a dictionary of detector characteristics and parameters

Key Arguments:

• arm – the detector parameters to return
