LWA Commissioning Scripts

This is a collection of scripts use for commissioning and testing at the LWA1 and LWA-SV stations. No installation (e.g., python setup.py install) is required to use the software but a requirements.txt file is provided to help setup the Python environment.

time2time.py

Given a date/time in the format of "YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS[.SSS]" in local time, compute the corresponding MJD and MPM in UTC. If no date/time is specified, the current local date/time is used for the conversion.

mjd2local.py

For a given MJD value or list of MJD values, return the range of local times associated with that MJD.

astroevents2.py

List the rise, transit, and set times for the brightest radio objects in the sky.

estimateData.py

Script to estimate the data volume of TBN and DRX observations.

findMyStand.py

Simple script to locate and label where stands are in the array.

getARXBoardInfo.py

Retrive ARX information (board, channel, control stand) for a stand.

plotShelterTemp.py

Short script to read in a shelter.txt file (log of shelter temperature with each line consisting of a UNIX time stamp and a shelter temperature) and plot all of the available data.

Update: This script is also now compatiable with the /data/thermometer##.txt files created by the new SHL MCS.

plotPDUVoltages.py

Short script to plot the input PDU voltages over time from the /data/rack##.txt files generated by the new SHL MCS software.

plotBoardTemps.py

Short script to read in a temp.txt file (log of DP FPGA temperatures) and plot all of the available data.

plotChassisTemps.py

Script to plot colormaps of the FPGA temperatures as a function of time, chassis, and physical slot.
