Synopsis
Load the quality array from a file and add to a PHA data set.
Syntax
load_quality(id, filename=None, bkg_id=None, *args, **kwargs)
Description
This function sets the quality column but does not automatically ignore any columns marked as "bad". Use the `ignore_bad` function to apply the new quality information.
Examples
Example 1
When using Crates as the I/O library, select the quality column from the file 'src.pi', and use it to set the values in the default data set:
>>> load_quality('src.pi[cols quality]')Example 2
Use the colkeys option to define the column in the input file:
>>> load_quality('src.pi', colkeys=['quality'])Example 3
Load the first column in 'grp.dat' and use it to populate the quality array of the data set called 'core'.
>>> load_quality('core', 'grp.dat')PARAMETERS
The parameters for this function are:
| Parameter | Type information | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| id | int or str, optional | The identifier for the data set to use. If not given then the default identifier is used, as returned by `get_default_id` . |
| filename | str | The name of the file that contains the quality information. This file can be a FITS table or an ASCII file. Selection of the relevant column depends on the I/O library in use (Crates or AstroPy). |
| bkg_id | int, str, or None, optional | Set if the quality array should be associated with the background associated with the data set. |
| colkeys | array of str, optional | An array of the column name to read in. The default is none . |
| sep | str, optional | The separator character. The default is ' ' . |
| comment | str, optional | The comment character. The default is '#' . |
Notes
The function does not follow the normal Python standards for parameter use, since it is designed for easy interactive use. When called with a single un-named argument, it is taken to be the `filename` parameter. If given two un-named arguments, then they are interpreted as the `id` and `filename` parameters, respectively. The remaining parameters are expected to be given as named arguments.
There is no check made to see if the quality array contains valid data.
