GbmDetectorData

class gdt.missions.fermi.gbm.scat.GbmDetectorData

Bases: DetectorData

A container for the detector info, with values used in the GBM SCAT files.

Attributes Summary

active	True if the detector is used in the fit
channel_mask	A Boolean array marking the channels that were used
channel_range	The energy channel range of the data
datatype	The name of the datatype
detector	The name of the detector
energy_edges	The edges of the energy channels
energy_range	The energy range of the data used
filename	The filename of the data file
instrument	The name of the instrument
num_chans	Number of energy channels used
photon_counts	The deconvolved photon counts for the detector
photon_errors	The deconvolved photon count errors for the detector
photon_model	The photon model for the detector
response	The filename of the detector response
time_range	The time range of the data used

Methods Summary

from_data(instrument, detector, datatype, ...)	Create a DetectorData object from data.
from_fits_row(fits_row)	Read a FITS row and return a GbmDetectorData object.
to_fits_row()	Return the contained data as a FITS table row
