bilby.gw.detector.load_data_by_channel_name

bilby.gw.detector.load_data_by_channel_name(channel_name, start_time, segment_duration, psd_duration, psd_start_time, sampling_frequency=4096, roll_off=0.2, overlap=0, outdir=None)

Helper routine to generate an interferometer from a channel name This function creates an empty interferometer specified in the name of the channel. It calls ifo.set_strain_data_from_channel_name to set the data and PSD in the interferometer using data retrieved from the specified channel using gwpy.TimeSeries.get()

Parameters:

channel_name: str

Channel name with the format IFO:Channel

start_time, psd_start_time: float

GPS start time of the segment and data stretch used for the PSD

segment_duration, psd_duration: float

Segment duration and duration of data to use to generate the PSD (in seconds).

roll_off: float, optional

Rise time in seconds of tukey window.

overlap: float,

Number of seconds of overlap between FFTs.

sampling_frequency: int

Sampling frequency

outdir: str, optional

The output directory in which the data is saved

Returns:

ifo: bilby.gw.detector.Interferometer

An initialised interferometer object with strain data set to the appropriate data fetched from the specified channel and a PSD.
