SimbioReader 0.2.1

Python Reader for the data from SIMBIO-SYS instrument suite on-board the ESA mission BepiColombo

SimbioReader

SimbioReader is the official Python reader for the data of the Spectrometer And Imagers For Mpo Bepicolombo Integrated Observatory System on board the ESA mission BepiColombo.

For more information about SIMBIO-SYS you can visit the official ESA SIMBIO-SYS webpage

Installation

To install the reader you can use the command:

$ python3 -m pip install SimbioReader

Usage

The package contain a class that read and decode the SIMBIO-SYS image

from SimbioReader import SimbioReader as SR

dat = SimbioReader("sim_raw_sc_vihi_internal_cruise_ico4_2020-12-14_001.dat")

Command line tools

In the package are included two command line tools:

• simbioReader show the info of a specific SIMBIO-SYS data product;
• simbioInfo show the information about phases, subphases and test of SIMBIO-SYS;

simbioReader

simbioReader sim_raw_sc_vihi_internal_cruise_ico6_2021-11-22_001.dat

will show the main information about the product.

Are avalaible some options:

• --all will display all the avilable information
• --hk wil display also the housekeeping
• --detector will display all the detector information
• --data-structure will display the data structure of the file
• --filter will display the information about the used filter if the data come from HRIC or STC, otherwise the option will be ignored

For any details you can use the option --help.

Using the option --version will be shown the software version and the datamodel version implemented in it.

simbioInfo

simbioInfo tool is a command line interface (cli) wiith three subcommands:

• filters Show the definition of filter(s) of a specific channel
• phases Show the past mission phase(s);
• subphases Show the past mission subphase(s);
• tests Show the past SIMBIO-SYS performed test(s)

filters

The subcommand filter has an argument, the channel and an option --name.

If the user provides only the channel, all the filters specific to that channel will be shown. If the user adds the -name option, only the selected filter will be displayed, if found.

A description of argument and options coul be required using the option --help

Examples

simbioInfo filters hric

will show all the filters of the channel HRIC

simbioInfo flters hric -n pan-l

will show the HRIC filter with the name PAN-L

phases

The subcommand phases will display a table of all or filtered past mission phases.

The options are:

• --all Show all the past mission phases;
• --date Show all the phases for the given date;
• --name Show the phase with the given name.

Examples

simbioInfo phases --all

will show all the past mission phases.

simbioInfo phases --date 2024-04-08

will show the phase that include the day 2024-04-08

simbioInfo phases --name necp

will show the phase with the name necp

subphases

The subcommand subphases will display a table of all or filtered past mission subphases.

The options are:

• --all Show all the past mission subphases;
• --date Show all the subphases for the given date;
• --name Show the subphase with the given name.

Examples

simbioInfo subphases --all

will show all the past mission subphases.

simbioInfo subphases --date 2024-04-08

will show the subphase that include the day 2024-04-08, the ico11.

simbioInfo subphases --name ico9

will show the phase with the name ico9

tests

The subcommand tests will display a table of all or filtered SIMBIO-SYS tests.

The options are:

• --all Show all the past SIMBIO-SYS tests;
• --date Show all the SIMBIO-SYS tests for the given date;
• --name Show the SIMBIO-SYS tests with the given name;
• --phase Show the SIMBIO-SYS tests for the specific phase;
• --subphase Show the SIMBIO-SYS tests for the specific subphase.

[!NOTE] The tests name are not unique. Please use the option --subphase togeter the option --name

Examples

simbioInfo tests --all

will show all the SIMBIO-SYS tests.

simbioInfo tests -d 2024-04-08\ 2:00:00  

will show the test that SIMBIO-SYS was performing at 2:00:00 on 2024-04-08, the Interference Test in the subphase ico11

simbioInfo tests --name hric\ functional --subphase ico9

will show the test with the name that contain the string hric functional performed during the subphase ico9
