Components

Common code between flight/ground (umn_detector/common)

Code containing ways to parse binary data to Python (via ctypes and struct).

Ground code

Code that runs on the ground once we get the data. Used to decode packets into JSON for parsing later on.

Tools

Useful tools--simulate data and other things.

Rebinner (used in-flight)

Rebins the science data from IMPRESS into smaller files.

Scripts are defined in pyproject.toml. Example:

Rebin data

impress-rebinner time+energy data/file-ident-*
