validate_camera_fov

Calculate the camera FoV of the telescope requested and plot the camera.

The orientation for the plotting is “as seen for an observer facing the camera”.

An example of the camera plot can be found below.

Command line arguments

site (str, required)

North or South.

telescope (str, required)

Telescope model name (e.g. LST-1, SST-D, …)

model_version (str, optional)

Model version

camera_in_sky_coor (bool, optional)

Plot the camera layout in sky coordinates akin to looking at it from behind for single

mirror telescopes

print_pixels_id (bool, optional)

Up to which pixel ID to print. To suppress printing of pixel IDs, set to zero

(–print_pixels_id 0). To print all pixels, set to ‘All’.”

verbosity (str, optional)

Log level to print

Example

LST - Prod5

simtools-validate-camera-fov --site North \\
    --telescope LST-1 --model_version prod5

The output is saved in simtools-output/validate_camera_fov.

Expected final print-out message:
