Customizing

PyDIET can easily be adapted to other astronomical imagers by simply editing the data/data_config.toml file in TOML format, and supplying pysynphot-compliant transmission/emission FITS files for the various parts of the instrument chain. Use the provided utils/extract_filter.py script to convert ASCII tables to pysynphot-compliant FITS format.

The web interface can easily be customized to accomodate one or several instruments through query form and result display templates.
