| 31 | Introduction
|
|---|
| 32 | </h1>
|
|---|
| 33 | <div class=main align=center>
|
|---|
| 34 | This tutorial is aimed at observers who want to "batch reduce" their
|
|---|
| 35 | data, i.e. process multiple files the same way.
|

| 38 | Part I - Need to knows
|
|---|
| 39 | </h1>
|
|---|
| 40 | <div class=main align=center>
|
|---|
| 41 | As ASAP is python based, we need to know a few commands and expression.
|
|---|
| 42 | Python has "lists", which are basically vectors. We will use
|
|---|
| 43 | these extensively.<br>
|
|---|
| 44 | <div class=code><pre>
|
|---|
| 45 | x = range(5) # creates a vector of length 5, x = [0,1,2,3,4]
|
|---|
| 46 | len(x) # gives the length of the vector
|
|---|
| 47 | x[0] # gets the first element of the vector
|
|---|
| 48 | x[-1] # gets the last element of the vector
|
|---|
| 49 | </pre></div>
|
|---|
| 50 | "for" loops are very useful. The code which should be run in the loop
|
|---|
| 51 | has to be indented. The end of the loop is indicated by the fact that
|
|---|
| 52 | the next command is aligned with the for.<br>
|
|---|
| 53 | The following code prints out the numbers [0..4]
|
|---|
| 54 | <div class=code><pre>
|
|---|
| 55 | for i in range(5):
|
|---|
| 56 | print i
|
|---|
| 57 | </pre></div>
|
|---|
| 58 | Vectors can also be filled:
|
|---|
| 59 | <div class=code><pre>
|
|---|
| 60 | x = [] # empty
|
|---|
| 61 | for i in range(5):
|
|---|
| 62 | x.append(i*5)
|
|---|
| 63 | </pre></div>
|
|---|
| 64 | The output is x = [0,5,10,15,20]<br>
|
|---|
| 65 | Now we can access those elements like we did above (by index), or directly:
|
|---|
| 66 | <div class=code><pre>
|
|---|
| 67 | for i in x:
|
|---|
| 68 | print i
|
|---|
| 69 | </pre></div>
|
|---|
| 70 | That's all we need to know!
|
|---|
| 71 |
|
|---|
| 72 | </div>
|
|---|
| 73 | <h1 class=custom>
|
|---|
| 74 | Part II - the code
|
|---|
| 75 | </h1>
|
|---|
| 76 | <div class=main align=center>
|
|---|
| 77 | This shows example code to process multiple files.<p>
|
|---|
| 78 | Let's say we have three files (a.rpf, b.rpf, c.rpf) which contain
|
|---|
| 79 | on/off pairs and we want to get the quotients<br>
|
|---|
| 80 | <div class=code><pre>
|
|---|
| 81 | fnames = ["a.rpf","b.rpf","c.rpf"] # First we set up a vector of filenames
|
|---|
| 82 | vec = [] # a vector to hold the scantables
|
|---|
| 83 | for f in fnames:
|
|---|
| 84 | vec.append(scantable(f)) # fill the vector with scantables
|
|---|
| 85 | </pre></div>
|
|---|
| 86 | Then we can loop over all scantables:
|
|---|
| 87 | <div class=code><pre>
|
|---|
| 88 | quotients = [] # to hold the quotient scantables
|
|---|
| 89 | for scan in vec: # loop over input scantables
|
|---|
| [1040] | 90 | quotients.append(scan.auto_quotient()) # add this quotient to the vector
|
|---|
| [680] | 91 | </pre></div>
|
|---|
| 92 | Let's have a look at the vector, and subtract a baseline
|
|---|
| 93 | <div class=code><pre>
|
|---|
| 94 | for q in quotients:
|
|---|
| 95 | print q
|
|---|
| [1040] | 96 | q.auto_poly_baseline(order=1,insitu=True)
|
|---|
| [680] | 97 | </pre></div>
|
|---|
| 98 | Now we average the lot together:
|
|---|
| 99 | <div class=code><pre>
|
|---|
| 100 | av = average_time(quotients)
|
|---|
| 101 | </pre></div>
|
|---|
| 102 |
|
|---|
| 103 | </div>
|
|---|
| 104 | <h1 class=custom>
