NAME
ixpeinterptemp -- Fills temperature data gaps in an IXPE Level 1 DU housekeeping file using linear interpolation over gaps less than a given maximum duration.
USAGE
ixpeinterptemp.py infile outfile [maxgap] [clobber]
DESCRIPTION
ixpeinterptemp is a stand-alone IXPE engineering data processing tool that interpolates the temperatures in a user-inputted Level 1 DU high-rate
housekeeping data file. Interpolated data is inserted into the output file at the nominal HK cadence (1 Hz) over every time gap less than or equal to maxgap, an optional argument
whose default value is 150 seconds. The output is a FITS file containing the original temperature data and the interpolated temperature to fill the gaps.
PARAMETERS
- infile* (str)
- The full path of the input Level 1 DU high-rate housekeeping data file.
- outfile* (str)
- The full path of the output FITS file containing the original data and the interopolated temperatures.
- maxgap (float)
- The maximum data gap (in seconds) in the input table that will be filled with interpolated data. Default value is 150 seconds.
- clobber (bool)
- Overwrite the outfile if it already exists? Default value False.
