Methods Documentation

are_keys_ok(keywords: Iterable[str]) → bool

Are the supplied keys all present and defined?

Parameters:

keywords : iterable of str

Keywords to test.

Returns:

all_ok : bool

True if all supplied keys are present and defined.

classmethod can_translate(header, filename=None)

Indicate whether this translation class can translate the supplied header.

There is no INSTRUME header in ImSim data. Instead we use the TESTTYPE header.

Parameters:

header : dict-like

Header to convert to standardized form.

filename : str, optional

Name of file being translated.

Returns:

can : bool

True if the header is recognized by this class. False otherwise.

classmethod can_translate_with_options(header: Mapping[str, Any], options: Dict[str, Any], filename: Optional[str] = None) → bool

Helper method for can_translate allowing options.

Parameters:

header : dict-like

Header to convert to standardized form.

options : dict

Headers to try to determine whether this header can be translated by this class. If a card is found it will be compared with the expected value and will return that comparison. Each card will be tried in turn until one is found.

filename : str, optional

Name of file being translated.

Returns:

can : bool

True if the header is recognized by this class. False otherwise.

Notes

Intended to be used from within can_translate implementations for specific translators. Is not intended to be called directly from determine_translator.

cards_used() → FrozenSet[str]

Cards used during metadata extraction.

Returns:

used : frozenset of str

Cards used when extracting metadata.

classmethod compute_detector_exposure_id(exposure_id, detector_num)

Compute the detector exposure ID from detector number and exposure ID.

This is a helper method to allow code working outside the translator infrastructure to use the same algorithm.

Parameters:

exposure_id : int

Unique exposure ID.

detector_num : int

Detector number.

Returns:

detector_exposure_id : int

The calculated ID.

classmethod compute_detector_info_from_serial(detector_serial)

Helper method to return the detector information from the serial.

Parameters:

detector_serial : str

Detector serial ID.

Returns:

info : tuple of (str, str, int)

Detector group, name, and number.

classmethod compute_detector_num_from_name(detector_group, detector_name)

Helper method to return the detector number from the name.

Parameters:

detector_group : str

Name of the detector grouping. This is generally the raft name.

detector_name : str

Detector name.

Returns:

num : int

Detector number.

static compute_exposure_id(dayobs, seqnum, controller=None)

Helper method to calculate the exposure_id.

Parameters:

dayobs : str

Day of observation in either YYYYMMDD or YYYY-MM-DD format. If the string looks like ISO format it will be truncated before the T before being handled.

seqnum : int or str

Sequence number.

controller : str, optional

Controller to use. If this is “O”, no change is made to the exposure ID. If it is “C” a 1000 is added to the year component of the exposure ID. If it is “H” a 2000 is added to the year component. This sequence continues with “P” and “Q” controllers. None indicates that the controller is not relevant to the exposure ID calculation (generally this is the case for test stand data).

Returns:

exposure_id : int

Exposure ID in form YYYYMMDDnnnnn form.

classmethod defined_in_this_class(name: str) → Optional[bool]

Report if the specified class attribute is defined specifically in this class.

Parameters:

name : str

Name of the attribute to test.

Returns:

in_class : bool

True if there is a attribute of that name defined in this specific subclass. False if the method is not defined in this specific subclass but is defined in a parent class. Returns None if the attribute is not defined anywhere in the class hierarchy (which can happen if translators have typos in their mapping tables).

Notes

Retrieves the attribute associated with the given name. Then looks in all the parent classes to determine whether that attribute comes from a parent class or from the current class. Attributes are compared using id().

classmethod detector_mapping()

Returns the mapping of full name to detector ID and serial.

Returns:

mapping : dict of str:tuple

Returns the mapping of full detector name (group+detector) to detector number and serial.

Raises:

ValueError

Raised if no camera policy file has been registered with this translation class.

Notes

Will construct the mapping if none has previously been constructed.

classmethod detector_serials()

Obtain the mapping of detector serial to detector group, name, and number.

Returns:

info : dict of tuple of (str, str, int)

A dict with the serial numbers as keys and values of detector group, name, and number.

classmethod determine_translatable_headers(filename: str, primary: Optional[MutableMapping[str, Any]] = None) → Iterator[MutableMapping[str, Any]]

Given a file return all the headers usable for metadata translation.

This method can optionally be given a header from the file. This header will generally be the primary header or a merge of the first two headers.

In the base class implementation it is assumed that this supplied header is the only useful header for metadata translation and it will be returned unchanged if given. This can avoid unnecesarily re-opening the file and re-reading the header when the content is already known.

If no header is supplied, a header will be read from the supplied file using read_basic_metadata_from_file, allowing it to merge the primary and secondary header of a multi-extension FITS file. Subclasses can read the header from the data file using whatever technique is best for that instrument.

Subclasses can return multiple headers and ignore the externally supplied header. They can also merge it with another header and return a new derived header if that is required by the particular data file. There is no requirement for the supplied header to be used.

Parameters:

filename : str

Path to a file in a format understood by this translator.

primary : dict-like, optional

The primary header obtained by the caller. This is sometimes already known, for example if a system is trying to bootstrap without already knowing what data is in the file. For many instruments where the primary header is the only relevant header, the primary header will be returned with no further action.

Yields:

headers : iterator of dict-like

A header usable for metadata translation. For this base implementation it will be either the supplied primary header or a header read from the file. This implementation will only ever yield a single header.

Notes

Each translator class can have code specifically tailored to its own file format. It is important not to call this method with an incorrect translator class. The normal paradigm is for the caller to have read the first header and then called determine_translator() on the result to work out which translator class to then call to obtain the real headers to be used for translation.

classmethod determine_translator(header: Mapping[str, Any], filename: Optional[str] = None) → Type[astro_metadata_translator.translator.MetadataTranslator]

Determine a translation class by examining the header

Parameters:

header : dict-like

Representation of a header.

filename : str, optional

Name of file being translated.

Returns:

translator : MetadataTranslator

Translation class that knows how to extract metadata from the supplied header.

Raises:

ValueError

None of the registered translation classes understood the supplied header.

classmethod fix_header(header: MutableMapping[str, Any], instrument: str, obsid: str, filename: Optional[str] = None) → bool

Apply global fixes to a supplied header.

Parameters:

header : dict

The header to correct. Correction is in place.

instrument : str

The name of the instrument.

obsid : str

Unique observation identifier associated with this header. Will always be provided.

filename : str, optional

Filename associated with this header. May not be set since headers can be fixed independently of any filename being known.

Returns:

modified : bool

True if a correction was applied.

Notes

This method is intended to support major discrepancies in headers such as:

• Periods of time where headers are known to be incorrect in some way that can be fixed either by deriving the correct value from the existing value or understanding the that correction is static for the given time. This requires that the date header is known.
• The presence of a certain value is always wrong and should be corrected with a new static value regardless of date.

It is assumed that one off problems with headers have been applied before this method is called using the per-obsid correction system.

Usually called from astro_metadata_translator.fix_header.

For log messages, do not assume that the filename will be present. Always write log messages to fall back on using the obsid if filename is None.

is_key_ok(keyword: Optional[str]) → bool

Return True if the value associated with the named keyword is present in this header and defined.

Parameters:

keyword : str

True if the header is present and not-None. False otherwise.

static is_keyword_defined(header: Mapping[str, Any], keyword: Optional[str]) → bool

Return True if the value associated with the named keyword is present in the supplied header and defined.

Parameters:

header : dict-lik
