panoptes.pocs.camera.simulator package¶

Submodules¶

panoptes.pocs.camera.simulator.ccd module¶

Simulated cooled CCD camera using the SDK camera interfaces.

Provides a minimal SDKDriver shim (loading libc) and a Camera implementation that simulates cooling behavior (temperature, cooling power) and connects like an SDK-backed device for use in tests and simulations.

class panoptes.pocs.camera.simulator.ccd.Camera(name='Simulated SDK camera', driver=<class 'panoptes.pocs.camera.simulator.ccd.SDKDriver'>, target_temperature=<Quantity 0. deg_C>, *args, **kwargs)[source]¶

Bases: AbstractSDKCamera, Camera, ABC

Simulated cooled camera that follows the AbstractSDKCamera contract.

Combines the DSLR simulator behavior with SDK-style cooling controls to emulate a cooled scientific camera for testing pipeline behavior.

connect()[source]¶: Initialize the simulated camera and cooling parameters.

property cooling_enabled¶

Whether simulated cooling is currently enabled.

Returns:: True if cooling is enabled.
Return type:: bool

property cooling_power¶

Simulated cooling power level.

Returns:: Cooling duty cycle as a percentage.
Return type:: astropy.units.Quantity

property target_temperature¶

Simulated target temperature for the sensor.

Returns:: Target temperature in degrees Celsius.
Return type:: astropy.units.Quantity

property temperature¶

Current simulated sensor temperature.

The temperature drifts exponentially toward a limit set by cooling state with a small random jitter added.

Returns:: Simulated temperature in degrees Celsius.
Return type:: astropy.units.Quantity

class panoptes.pocs.camera.simulator.ccd.SDKDriver(library_path=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Bases: AbstractSDKDriver

Lightweight simulated SDK driver used for the simulator camera.

get_SDK_version()[source]¶: Return a human-readable version string for the simulated SDK.

get_devices()[source]¶

Return simulated device mapping from the main configuration.

Returns:

Mapping of simulated camera names to their ports/IDs as: configured under ‘cameras.devices’.

Return type:

dict

panoptes.pocs.camera.simulator.dslr module¶

DSLR-style simulated camera driver.

Provides a lightweight Camera implementation that mimics a DSLR controlled via simple timers and sample FITS data, suitable for tests and demos.

class panoptes.pocs.camera.simulator.dslr.Camera(name='Simulated Camera', *args, **kwargs)[source]¶

Bases: AbstractCamera

Simulated DSLR-like camera using timers and canned FITS data.

property bit_depth¶

ADC bit depth for the simulated sensor.

Returns:: Bit depth in bits.
Return type:: astropy.units.Quantity

connect()[source]¶

Connect to the camera simulator.

This is a no-op for the simulator.

property egain¶

Estimated sensor gain (e-/ADU) used for testing.

Returns:: Constant gain value for the simulator (unitless).
Return type:: int | float

setup_camera()[source]¶

Set up the camera simulator.

This is a no-op for the simulator.

take_observation(observation, headers=None, filename=None, *args, **kwargs)[source]¶

Start a simulated observation, trimming long exposures.

For the simulator, any requested exposure longer than 1 second is reduced to 1 second to keep tests fast.

Parameters:

observation – The Observation describing the target/sequence.
headers – Optional FITS header metadata to include.
filename – Optional filename stem to use for the output.
*args – Forwarded to AbstractCamera.take_observation.
**kwargs – May include ‘exptime’ to set the exposure duration.
