validate_camera_efficiency#

Validate the camera efficiency by simulating it using the sim_telarray testeff program.

The results of camera efficiency for Cherenkov (left) and NSB light (right) as a functionof wavelength are plotted. See examples below.

Command line arguments#

site (str, required): North or South.
telescope (str, required): Telescope model name (e.g. LSTN-01, SSTS-15)
model_version (str, optional): Model version
zenith_angle (float, optional): Zenith angle in degrees (between 0 and 180).
azimuth_angle (float, optional): Telescope pointing direction in azimuth.
nsb_spectrum (str, optional): File with NSB spectrum to use for the efficiency simulation.

Example#
