Camera data

This directory contains camera definition files. These contain:

  • what filters a camera has, and for each filter:

    • a name, position and description;
    • centre wavelength, bandwidth etc.;
    • ideally a set of response data, which is either a single value for each wavelength or a set of values over a range of transmission angles. If not present, the response will be simulated as a gaussian based on the other parameters.
  • optional flat and dark fields (which make the file huge, but it can't be helped)

Each file is a PCOT archive (.parc) file which should be placed in the cameras directory. This must be specified in the .pcot.ini file in the locations section:

[Locations]
cameras = /home/white/PCOT/cameras
If not specified, no cameras will be loaded! The .pcot.ini can be found in the user's home directory.

Camera files

Danger

At this stage of development the data may be inaccurate!


AUPE-SKP

This data is for both WACs on the AUPE set up for the SKP trial (also known as FrankenAUPE). Currently, AberROCC generates filenames of the form

sol01000_00000_00003_00034_RWAC1_T65.75_P-43.5.png

To make sure the multifile input processes these correctly for this camera, set the pattern to

.*(?P<lens>[LR])WAC(?P<n>[0-9]+).*

(ignore the backticks if you see them, they are for Markdown).
