imap_processing.idex.idex_packet_parser.PacketParser

class imap_processing.idex.idex_packet_parser.PacketParser(packet_file: str, data_version: str)

IDEX packet parsing class.

Encapsulates the decom work needed to decom a daily file of IDEX data received from the POC. The class is instantiated with a reference to a L0 file as it exists on the local file system.

TODO: Add method to generate quicklook plots

Examples

from imap_processing.idex.idex_packet_parser import PacketParser
l0_file = "imap_processing/tests/idex/imap_idex_l0_sci_20230725_v001.pkts"
l1_data = PacketParser(l0_file)
l1_data.write_l1_cdf()

__init__(packet_file: str, data_version: str)

Read a l0 pkts file and perform all of the decom work.

Parameters:

• packet_file (str) – The path and filename to the L0 file to read

• data_version (str) – The version of the data product being created

Notes

Currently assumes one L0 file will generate exactly one l1a file

Methods

__init__(packet_file, data_version)

Read a l0 pkts file and perform all of the decom work.
