FeedTable¶
-
class
FeedTable(container)[source]¶ Bases:
objectThe FeedTable class is an Alma table.
Contains characteristics of the feeds.
Shown here are the fields found in each row.
The key fields are shown first and used (together) to index a unique row. Key fields are all required and indicated by “Key.” following the description.
Other fields are required unless “optional” is shown for that field.
The field description text here is as found in the model used to generate the code.
Types may be an enumeration or extended pyasdm type. Fields that are python lists are indicated that by “[]” in the type and having the word “Array” at the start of description followed by the expected number of elements in that list in parentheses. Lists (arrays) may be multi-dimensional (lists of lists) and are indicated by [][] … etc as needed to indicate the expected number of dimensions. Multi-dimenstional lists will show the expected number of elements for each dimension also in the parenthese after “Array”.
The use of “auto-incrementable” indicates that that field is auto-generated when the table is created and that field is set, as necessary, to create a unique key for the specific row being added, by incrementing that value from the previous highest value needed for the rest of the elements of the key on that row. Such a field can not be set independently, it is only set when the row is added to the table by that auto-increment mechanism.
-
timeInterval¶ the time interval of validity of the content of the row. key.

-
skyCoupling¶ the sky coupling is the coupling efficiency to the sky of the WVR radiometer’s. Note that in general one expects to see whether no sky coupling efficiency recorded or only one of the two forms scalar (skyCoupling) or array (skyCouplingSpectrum, numChan). Optional.
- Type
float
-
numChan¶ the size of skyCouplingSpectrum. This attribute must be present when the (array) attribute skyCouplingSpectrum is present since it defines its number of elements. The value of this attribute must be equal to the value of numChan in the row of the SpectralWindow table refered to by spectralWindowId. Optional.
- Type
int
-
skyCouplingSpectrum¶ Array(numChan) the sky coupling is the coupling efficiency to the sky of the WVR radiometer’s. This column differs from the skyCoupling column because it contains one value for each of the individual channels of that spectralWindow. See the documentation of numChan for the size and the presence of this attribute. Note that in general one expects to see whether no sky coupling efficiency recorded or only one of the two forms scalar (skyCoupling) or array (skyCouplingSpectrum, numChan). Optional.

Methods Documentation
-
Key(antennaId, spectralWindowId)[source]¶ Returns a string built by concatenating the ascii representation of the parameters values suffixed with a “_” character.
-
MIMEXMLPart(byteOrder)[source]¶ Used in both the small XML file as well as the bin file when writing out as binary. The byte order is set by byteOrder.
-
add(x)[source]¶ Append a row to a FeedTable which has simply 1) an autoincrementable attribute (feedId) 2) a temporal attribute (timeInterval) in its key section. 3) other attributes in the key section (defining a so called context). If there is already a row in the table whose key section non including is equal to x’s one and whose value section is equal to x’s one then return this row, otherwise add x to the collection of rows.
-
checkAndAdd(x)[source]¶ A method to append a row to its table, used by input conversion methods. Not indended for external use.
If this table has an autoincrementable attribute then check if x verifies the rule of uniqueness and throw exception if not.
This method is appropriate for an auto-incrementable attribute with a temporal field either with or without additional keywords.
Append x to its table. x The row to be appended. returns x.
-
checkPresenceInMemory()[source]¶ Check if the table is present in memory. If not, load the table from the file using the directory of the container.
-
fromXML(xmlstr)[source]¶ Populate this table from the content of a XML document that is required to conform to the XML schema defined for a Feed (FeedTable.xsd).
-
getFocusReferenceEqTolerance()[source]¶ A getter for the tolerance on focusReference Returns the tolerance as a Length
-
getIllumOffsetEqTolerance()[source]¶ A getter for the tolerance on illumOffset Returns the tolerance as a Length
-
getPositionEqTolerance()[source]¶ A getter for the tolerance on position Returns the tolerance as a Length
-
getReceptorAngleEqTolerance()[source]¶ A getter for the tolerance on receptorAngle Returns the tolerance as a Angle
-
getRowByFeedId(feedId)[source]¶ Returns a list of rows whose key element feedId is equal to the parameter feedId. return a list of FeedRow. A returned list of size 0 means that no row has been found. feedId is of type int and contains the value of the autoincrementable attribute that is looked up in the table.
-
getRowByKey(antennaId, spectralWindowId, timeInterval, feedId)[source]¶ Returns a FeedRow given a key. return the row having the key whose values are passed as parameters, or None if no row exists for that key.
-
insertByStartTime(x, rowlist)[source]¶ Insert a FeedRow in a list of FeedRow so that it’s ordered by ascending start time.
x The FeedRow to be inserted. rowlist The list where x is to be inserted.
The inserted row is returned. If x already exists in rowlist then it is not added and the row in rowlist is returned.
If a row matching the value of the start time of timeInterval is found in rowlist but the other required parameters do not have the same value then a DuplicateKey exception is raised.
-
lookup(antennaId, spectralWindowId, timeInterval, numReceptor, beamOffset, focusReference, polarizationTypes, polResponse, receptorAngle, receiverId)[source]¶ Look up the table for a row whose all attributes except the autoincrementable one are equal to the corresponding parameters of the method. return this row if any, None otherwise.
param antennaId.
param spectralWindowId.
param timeInterval.
param numReceptor.
param beamOffset.
param focusReference.
param polarizationTypes.
param polResponse.
param receptorAngle.
param receiverId.
-
newRow(antennaId, spectralWindowId, timeInterval, numReceptor, beamOffset, focusReference, polarizationTypes, polResponse, receptorAngle, receiverId)[source]¶ Create a new FeedRow initialized to the specified values.
The new row is not added to this table, but it does know about it. (the autoincrementable attribute, if any, is not in the parameter list)
-
newRowCopy(row)[source]¶ Create a new row using a copy constructor mechanism.
The method creates a new FeedRow which knows about this table. Each attribute of the created row is a (deep) copy of the corresponding attribute of row. The method does not add the created row to this, it simply parents it to this, a call to the add method has to be done in order to get the row added (very likely after having modified some of its attributes. If row is None then the method returns a new FeedRow with default values for its attributes.
-
newRowDefault()[source]¶ Create a new row with default values. The new row is not added to this table but it knows about it.
-
setFromFile(directory)[source]¶ Reads and parses a file containing a representation of a FeedTable as those produced by the toFile method. This table is populated with the result of the parsing. param directory The name of the directory containing the file te be read and parsed. raises ConversionException If any error occurs while reading the files in the directory or parsing them.
-
setFromMIME(byteStream)[source]¶ Extracts the binary part of a MIME message and deserialize its content to fill this with the result of the deserialization. param byteStream the previously opened io.BufferedReader instance containing the data to be extracted.
It is the responsibility of this method to close byteStream.
-
setFromMIMEFile(directory)[source]¶ Set this table from a MIME file. Used internally by setFromFile. Not intended for external use.
-
setFromXMLFile(directory)[source]¶ This is the function used by setFromFile when the file is an XML file Not intended for external use.
-
setNotPresentInMemory()[source]¶ Set the state to indicate it is not present in memory and needs to be loaded before being used. This is used by the container class when loaded from a file and this table is present with non-zero rows. Tables are loaded on demand when the get function in the container for that table is used.
-
toFile(directory)[source]¶ Stores a representation (binary or XML) of this table into a file.
Depending on the boolean value of its _fileAsBin data member a binary serialization of this (_fileAsBin==True) will be saved in a file “Feed.bin” or an XML representation (_fileAsBin==False) will be saved in a file “Feed.xml”. The file is always written in a directory whose name is passed as a parameter. param directory The name of directory where the file containing the table’s representation will be saved. raises ConversionException for any errors while writing that file.
-
toMIME(mimeFilePath, mimeXMLpart, byteOrder)[source]¶ Write this out to mimeFilePath as a serialized MIME file with a leading XML part and a following binary part.
The mimeXMLpart is a string that should have already been written to the corresponding small XML file (and is returned by the MIMEXMLPart method here). The byteOrder is a ByteOrder instance that gives the byte order to use when writing the binary data. That instance should have also been used to generate mimeXMLpart.
