validate_camera_fov#
Summary#
This application calculate the camera FoV of the telescope requested and plot the camera 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:
