Usage¶

To use Hydrogen (HI) Data Emulator in a project execute the following on the command line:

$ hide --strategy-start=2016-03-21-00:00:00 --strategy-end=2016-03-21-23:59:00 --verbose=True hide.config.bleien7m

This will simulate one day of time-ordered-data from the Bleien 7m radio telescope.

To visualize 15 minutes of the generated data run this:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib
import h5py

with h5py.File("./2016/03/21/TEST_MP_PXX_20160321_000000.h5", "r") as fp:
    tod = fp["P/Phase1"].value
    time = fp["TIME"].value

plt.imshow(tod, aspect="auto",
           extent=(time[0], time[-1],990, 1260),
           cmap="gist_earth", norm=matplotlib.colors.LogNorm())
plt.colorbar()
