Tutorial

Note

Our tutorial uses small data files for examples. The data files are hosted in the the RASG datasets repo, organized by data type and telescope. In the tutorials this data is downloaded and cached using the pooch package via the pyuvdata.datasets.fetch_data function. To run those commands you’ll need to have pooch installed (you can install it yourself or use pip install pyuvdata[tutorial]). Note that pooch will download the file the first time you ask for it and save it in a cache folder, subsequent calls to fetch that data will not re-download it.

By default, following the tutorial will write any files to the current working directory. Alternatively you can change the location the output files are saved to by changing the arguments to the os.path.join calls. When running the tutorial during test suite execution, output files are written to a temporary directory created by pytest.
