LoFASM Tools Python Package


Tools for working on filterbank data from the Low Frequency All Sky Monitor (LoFASM). LoFASM is a phased dipole antenna array designed to monitor the skies for radio transients. LoFASM's band of interest is 5-88MHz. LoFASM was built and designed by a group of students and professor at the University of Texas at Brownsville.

Windows

Dependencies

  • numpy
  • scipy
  • astropy
  • matplotlib

Getting up and running

Once the LoFASM Tools have been installed you can check that they were installed correctly by plotting up a small test data set from LoFASM I in Port Mansfield, Texas.

The test data set is located at /path/to/lofasm/testdata/20150323_033624.lofasm, where path/to/lofasm is the path to the cloned repo directory.

To plot the data open a terminal window and navigate to the clone directory. Once there execute

lofasm_plot.py -f testdata/20150323_033624.lofasm

to plot the test data. If you see an animated plot then the tools have been installed correctly. :)

Refer to the docs directory for more information.
