Example

Extract the num_gains parameter from a sim_telarray configuration file for LSTN-01 and write a json file in the same format as the model parameter database:

simtools-convert-model-parameter-from-simtel \\
   --simtel_telescope_name CT1 \\
   --telescope LSTN-01 \\
   --schema tests/resources/num_gains.schema.yml \\
   --simtel_cfg_file tests/resources/simtel_config_test_la_palma.cfg \\
   --output_file num_gains.json
