NuRadioReco.detector.RNO_G.rnog_detector module

class NuRadioReco.detector.RNO_G.rnog_detector.Detector(database_connection='RNOG_public', log_level=0, over_write_handset_values=None, database_time=None, always_query_entire_description=False, detector_file=None, select_stations=None, create_new=False)[source]

Bases: object

The RNO-G detector description.

Parameters:

database_connectionstr (Default: ‘RNOG_public’): Allows to specify database connection. Passed to mongo-db interface.
log_levellogging.LOG_LEVEL (Default: logging.NOTSET): Overrides verbosity level of logger. Propagates through to Response class logger. Other options are: logging.WARNING, logging.DEBUG, …
over_write_handset_valuesdict (Default: {}): Overwrite the default values for (channel) parameters which are not (yet) implemented in the database. You can not specify keys which already exist in the database. If the value is a dict it should be contain a value for each channel_id (key). (Default: None, the acutally default values for the parameters in question are defined below)
database_timedatetime.datetime or astropy.time.Time: Set database time which is used to select the primary measurement. By default (= None) the database time is set to now (time the code is running) to select the measurement which is now primary.
always_query_entire_descriptionbool (Default: False): If True, query the entire detector describtion all at once when calling Detector.update(…) (if necessary). This value is currently set to False by default to avoid errors due to missing information in the database.
detector_filestr: File to import detector description instead of querying from DB. (Default: None -> query from DB)
select_stationsint or list(int) (Default: None): Select a station or list of stations using their station ids for which the describtion is provided. This is useful for example in simulations when one wants to simulate only one station. The default None means to descibe all commissioned stations.
create_newbool (Default: False): If False, and a database already exists, the existing database will be used rather than initializing a new connection. Set to True to create a new database connection.

export(filename, json_kwargs=None, additional_data=None)[source]

Export the buffered detector description.

Parameters:

filename: str: Filename of the exported detector description
json_kwargs: dict: Arguments passed to json.dumps(..). (Default: None -> dict(indent=0, default=_json_serial))
additional_data: dict (Default: None): If specified the content of this dict will be added to the exported detector description.

export_as_string(skip_signal_chain_response=True, dumps_kwargs=None)[source]

Export the detector description as string using json.dumps

Parameters:

skip_signal_chain_response: bool: If true drop the data of the response chain from the detector description (because this creates large files). (Default: True)
dumps_kwargs: dict: Arguments passed to json.dumps(..). (Default: None -> dict(indent=4, default=str))

get_detector_time()[source]

Returns:

time: datetime.datetime: Detector time

update(time)[source]

Updates the detector. If configure in constructor this function with trigger the database query.

Parameters:

time: `datetime.datetime` or ``astropy.time.Time``: Unix time of measurement.

get_station_ids()[source]

Returns the list of all commissioned stations. Returns ——-

station_ids: list(int): List of all commissioned station ids.

has_station(station_id)[source]

Returns true if the station is commission. First checks buffer. If not in buffer, queries (and buffers) the basic information of all stations and checks if station is among them.

Parameters:

get_station(station_id)[source]

Returns a dictionary of all station parameters/information including some channel information. The channel’s (signal chain) response is not necessarily returned (they might be if they are already in the buffer but this is not ensured). To get the complete channel information call self.get_channel(station_id, channel_id).
