bilby.gw.utils.read_frame_file(file_name, start_time, end_time, resample=None, channel=None, buffer_time=0, **kwargs)[source]

A function which accesses the open strain data

This uses gwpy to download the open data and then saves a cached copy for later use

Parameters:

file_name: str: The name of the frame to read
start_time, end_time: float: The GPS time of the start and end of the data
buffer_time: float: Read in data with t1-buffer_time and end_time+buffer_time
channel: str: The name of the channel being searched for, some standard channel names are attempted if channel is not specified or if specified channel is not found.
resample: float: The sampling frequency to use for the TimeSeries in Hz
**kwargs:: Passed to gwpy.timeseries.TimeSeries.fetch_open_data

Returns:
