c699util User's Guide

Similar to Introduction to the 699 Python Library, this article is a high-level description of c699util, intended for those who are only using it to write Python scripts. I do not describe low level c699util details here. For that, see the c699util developer's guide.

c699util is a Python module which provides housekeeping and science data extraction routines for MOMA telemetry files. Its interface is very similar to 699util's tmread module:

   #!/usr/bin/env python3 
   
   #==============================================================================
   # Packet data extraction through 699util's tmread module: 
   #==============================================================================
   import tmread 
   
   tmfile = tmread.get_tmfile('/Users/mpallone/momadata/fm/2016-01-15-14.06.47-30410-MSFUNC/tm.mom.m3.s3')
   
   wrp_current_datapoints = []
   wrp_current_hkid = 800 
   pkt_17_count = 0 
   
   for pkt in tmfile(17): 
       pkt_17_count += 1 
       wrp_current_datapoints.extend(pkt[wrp_current_hkid])
   
   # Print out the data: 
   print("pkt_17_count:", pkt_17_count)
   print() 
   print("WRP current sample timestamp, WRP current sample science value:")
   for timestamp, value in wrp_current_datapoints: 
       print(timestamp, 't', value)
   
   
   #==============================================================================
   # Packet data extraction through c699util: 
   #==============================================================================
   import c699util 
   
   c_tmfile = c699util.construct_tmfile('/Users/mpallone/momadata/fm/2016-01-15-14.06.47-30410-MSFUNC/tm.mom.m3.s3')
   
   wrp_current_datapoints = []
   wrp_current_hkid = 800 
   pkt_17_count = 0 
   
   for pkt in c_tmfile(17): 
       pkt_17_count += 1 
       wrp_current_datapoints.extend(pkt[wrp_current_hkid])
   
   # Print out the data: 
   print("pkt_17_count:", pkt_17_count)
   print() 
   print("WRP current sample timestamp, WRP current sample science value:")
   
   #for timestamp, value in wrp_current_datapoints: 
   #    print(timestamp, 't', value)
   
   # Note the change here! 
   for datapoint in wrp_current_datapoints: 
       print(datapoint.relative_timestamp, 't', datapoint.value)

As this example illustrates, some minor interface differences exist between c699util and tmread, which are documented at the end of this article.

You are highly encouraged to follow the following convention: if you use c699util in a Python script, please prefix it with "c_". For example, when I ported ioncount.py over to c699util, I made a copy of ioncount.py, called it c_ioncount.py, and then replaced tmread code with similar c699util code. This way, both scripts are available to run (a nice option to have if we encounter bugs), and we always know which underlying library we're using.

If we already have tmread, why bother with c699util?

Well, for one, c699util is about an order of magnitude faster than tmread (and sometimes more -- c_ioncount.py was 39x faster than ioncount.py when extracting selected ion counts).

More importantly, much of tmread is deprecated for MOMA. Any feature that tmread shares with c699util is no longer maintained. Instead of maintaining telemetry extraction libraries in C++, and then duplicating the exact same functionality in Python, we've decided to simply add a Python interface to the C++ code. This dramatically simplifies feature implementation, eliminates consistency issues between various tools, and speeds up software development and program run time, but it also means that tmread won't output data as accurately as c699util, and also won't have as many features.

c699util Flaw -- only one TMFile at a time

Because the C++ code around which c699util wraps frequently uses singletons, c699util can only operate on one TMFile at a time. Calling c699util.construct_tmfile() will invalidate any previously existing c699util.TMFile objects.

We rarely ever (if at all) need this capability, but when the C++ and c699util code is ported over to future missions, this design should be reconsidered.

Obtaining c699util

If you do not have the 699 Python tools installed on your computer, then the developer instructions in Python_Tool_Installation should work, although it's probably best to just ask a MOMA software developer to do it for you. Be sure to install Python 3.4.3 from the Python website.

If you already have 699 Python tools installed, you will probably also have to ask a MOMA software developer to setup c699util. Most likely, Python 3.4.3 will need to be installed directly from the website (sorry, Homebrew aficionados), and your virtual environment will need to be rebuilt so that it uses Python 3.4.3. However, if you happen to already be using Python 3.4.3, then SSH tunneling into repos699 and then updating ~/config699 and ~/labcode/699util should be all that you need to do to start using c699util.

TMFile

c699util provides a TMFile class which is very similar to tmread's TMFile class. c699util.TMFile objects can be obtained as follows:

   import c699util 
   c_tmfile = c699util.get_tmfile('/Users/mpallone/momadata/fm/2016-01-15-14.06.47-30410-MSFUNC/tm.mom.m3.s3')

c699util.get_tmfile() is a thin wrapper around tmread.get_tmfile(), so it does all of the telemetry-file-finding-magic that tmread.get_tmfile() does:

   import c699util 
   c_tmfile = c699util.get_tmfile() # grab the tm.mom file in the cwd 
   c_tmfile = c699util.get_tmfile(12345) # Grab TID 12345 
   c_tmfile = c699util.get_tmfile("/Users/mpallone/momadata/fm/2016-01-15-14.06.47-30410-MSFUNC") # Grab the tm.mom file in the specified directory

It would be preferable to not use the deprecated tmread module, but it seems unlikely to me that I'll ever get around to implementing get_tmfile()'s magic inside of c699util, at least on MOMA. Also, this tactic allows us to keep using the extremely useful TMArgumentParser class.

If tmread is not available, c699util.construct_tmfile() can be used:

   import c699util 
   c_tmfile = c699util.construct_tmfile('/Users/mpallone/momadata/fm/2016-01-15-14.06.47-30410-MSFUNC/tm.mom.m3.s3')

Also, note the convention of using c_tmfile. I prefer to use 'tmfile' for tmread.TMFile objects, and 'c_tmfile' for c699util.TMFile objects, so that I can tell at a glance what kind of object I'm using. I strongly recommend that other script writers do the same.

Other useful methods:

   #!/usr/bin/env python3 
   
   import tmread, c699util 
   tmfile = tmread.get_tmfile(30410) # Give it a TID and let it find the file for us 
   c_tmfile = c699util.construct_tmfile(tmfile.filename)

   # (alternatively, we could just do c_tmfile = c699util.get_tmfile(30410) 
   
   print("Absolute filename:", c_tmfile.filename())
   print("Absolute filename:", str(c_tmfile))
   # Absolute filename: /Users/mpallone/momadata/fm/2016-01-15-14.06.47-30410-MSFUNC/tm.mom.m3.s3
   
   print("Absolute directory:", c_tmfile.absolute_directory())
   # Absolute directory: /Users/mpallone/momadata/fm/2016-01-15-14.06.47-30410-MSFUNC
   
   # Parsed from the first GSE packet in the tm.mom file: 
   print("TID Directory name:", c_tmfile.directory_string())
   # TID Directory name: 2016-01-15-14.06.47-30410-MSFUNC
   
   print("Mass calibration file used:", c_tmfile.get_mcal_filename())
   # Mass calibration file used: 2016-01-17-23.48.39-30410.mcal
   
   print("File size in bytes:", c_tmfile.file_size())
   # File size in bytes: 48384623
   
   print("TID:", c_tmfile.tid())
   # TID: 30410
   
   print("t0 in Unix time:", c_tmfile.t0_in_unix_time())
   # t0 in Unix time: 1452884878.3959727
   
   print("Number of packets:", c_tmfile.length())
   print("Number of packets:", len(c_tmfile))
   # Number of packets: 70232
   
   print("TMFile actually exists on the filesystem:", c_tmfile.exists())
   print("TMFile actually exists on the filesystem:", bool(c_tmfile))
   # TMFile actually exists on the filesystem: True
   
   pkt_at_index_10 = c_tmfile.get_pkt(10)
   pkt_at_index_10 = c_tmfile[10]
   
   # We can iterate through c_tmfile and get packet objects: 
   pkt_count = 0 
   for pkt in c_tmfile: 
       pkt_count += 1 
   
   # The old tm_filter routines also work for c699util: 
   pkt_17_count = 0 
   for pkt in c_tmfile(17): 
       pkt_17_count += 1 
   
   pkt_count = 0 
   for pkt in c_tmfile(type_filter=17,      # Only yield packets of type 17 
                       marker_filter=2500,  # Only yield packets at marker 2500 
                       start_time=1000,     # Relative time = 1000 seconds 
                       stop_time=2000):     # Relative time = 2000 seconds 
       pkt_count += 1 
   
   # If the directory name is
   #     '2016-01-15-14.06.47-30410-MSFUNC'
   # then the test name is 
   #     'MSFUNC'
   print("Test name:", c_tmfile.test_name())
   
   # tmread.MessageLog is not deprecated, and is fully compatible with c699util:
   msg_log = c_tmfile.message_log()
   
   meta_markers = c_tmfile.get_meta_markers()
   for meta_marker in meta_markers: 
       print(meta_marker.startRelativeTimeInSecs)
       print(meta_marker.endRelativeTimeInSecs)
       print(meta_marker.metaMarkerId)
       print(meta_marker.index)
       print(meta_marker.msg)
   
   print("model:", c_tmfile.model())
   # model: fm
   
   print("FSW timestamp at of t0 packet:", c_tmfile.t0_in_sclk())
   # FSW timestamp at of t0 packet: 19351744

tmread.extract_tmfields() is compatible with c699util.TMFile objects:

   #!/usr/bin/env python3 
   
   import tmread, c699util 
   tmfile = tmread.get_tmfile(30410) # Give it a TID and let it find the file for us 
   c_tmfile = c699util.construct_tmfile(tmfile.filename)
   
   AUX_AMP_DAC_SET_HKID = 61 
   RF_AMP_MON_HKID      = 62
   
   fields = tmread.extract_tmfields(c_tmfile, [AUX_AMP_DAC_SET_HKID, RF_AMP_MON_HKID])
   
   # Note that we still get c699util.TMDatapoint objects here, which are different
   # from 699util's tmread datapoints!
   sum_ = 0 
   count = 0 
   for datapoint in fields[RF_AMP_MON_HKID]: 
       relative_timestamp = datapoint.relative_timestamp 
       unix_timestamp = datapoint.unix_timestamp
       raw_timestamp = datapoint.fsw_timestamp
       sum_ += datapoint.value 
       count += 1 
   
   if count != 0: 
       print("RF Amp mon avg:", sum_ / count)

## TMPacket

Just like TMFile, c699util provides TMPacket objects which are very
similar to tmread.TMPacket objects:

   #!/usr/bin/env python3 
   
   import tmread, c699util 
   tmfile = tmread.get_tmfile(30410) # Give it a TID and let it find the file for us 
   c_tmfile = c699util.construct_tmfile(tmfile.filename)
   
   gse_pkt = c_tmfile[0]       # Pkt type 8, GSE generated 
   pkt_22 = c_tmfile[65]       # Pkt type 22 
   msg_log_pkt = c_tmfile[85]  # Pkt type 8 
   
   print("Unmasked type of gse_pkt:", gse_pkt.full_type())
   # Unmasked type of gse_pkt: 136
   
   print("Unmasked type of pkt_22:", pkt_22.full_type())
   # Unmasked type of pkt_22: 22
   
   # This is analagous to tmread.TMPacket.type 
   print("gse_pkt with gse-generated bit masked out:", gse_pkt.get_type())
   # gse_pkt with gse-generated bit masked out: 8
   
   print("pkt_22 length, including header and checksum:", pkt_22.total_length())
   # pkt_22 length, including header and checksum: 224
   print("pkt_22 length, just the data:", pkt_22.length())
   # pkt_22 length, just the data: 212
   
   print("pkt_22 checksum:", pkt_22.checksum())
   print("pkt_22 checksum:", hash(pkt_22))
   # pkt_22 checksum: 1379474455
   
   print("Is pkt_22 gse created?", pkt_22.gse_created())
   # Is pkt_22 gse created? False
   print("Is gse_pkt gse created?", gse_pkt.gse_created())
   # Is gse_pkt gse created? True
   
   print("pkt_22 sequence number:", pkt_22.sequence())
   # pkt_22 sequence number: 146
   
   # Yes, I'm aware that 'sclk' is a misnomer 
   print("pkt_22 FSW timestamp:", pkt_22.sclk())
   # pkt_22 FSW timestamp: 19540225
   print("pkt_22 FSW timestamp, in seconds:", pkt_22.sclk_in_seconds())
   # pkt_22 FSW timestamp, in seconds: 1954.0225
   
   print("pkt_22 index:", pkt_22.index())
   # pkt_22 index: 65
   
   print("pkt_22 marker ID:", pkt_22.marker_id())
   # pkt_22 marker ID: 0
   
   # Packets before the first marker packet have a marker index of 0

   print("pkt_22 unix timestamp, in seconds:", pkt_22.unix_timestamp())
   # pkt_22 unix timestamp, in seconds: 1452884897.2440727
   
   print("pkt_22 relative timestamp, in seconds:", pkt_22.relative_timestamp())
   # pkt_22 relative timestamp, in seconds: 18.848099946975708
   
   print("pkt_22 marker text:", pkt_22.marker_text())

       print(meta_marker.metaMarkerId)
       print(meta_marker.index)
       print(meta_marker.msg)

Extracting Science Data

c699util has a get_scans() function, just like tmread.momascience:

   #!/usr/bin/env python3 
   
   import c699util 
   c_tmfile = c699util.get_tmfile(30410)
   
   scan_count = 0 
   for scan in c699util.get_scans(c_tmfile): 
       scan_count += 1 
   
   print("Number of scans:", scan_count)

The usual packet type, marker filtering, start time, etc. filtering options are available.

Unlike tmread, c699util provides a wrapper around MOMA Data View's ScienceDataCache class:

   #!/usr/bin/env python3 
   
   import c699util 
   
   # Not needed 
   # c_tmfile = c699util.construct_tmfile(tmfile.filename)
   
   # Notice that this factory function takes the absolute filename, just like 
   # construct_tmfile
   # science_cache = c699util.construct_science_data_cache('/Users/mpallone/momadata/fm/2016-01-15-14.06.47-30410-MSFUNC/tm.mom.m3.s3')
   
   science_cache = c699util.get_science_data_cache(30410) 

c699util.get_science_data_cache() is analagous to c699util.get_tmfile(), so it can be passed no arguments if the programmer wants to search the cwd, or just the TID to search for, or the absolute path of the tm.mom file, etc.

The science cache can be iterated through to get scan objects (just c699util.get_scans()), or it can be indexed, as demonstrated below.

   #!/usr/bin/env python3 
   
   import c699util 
   
   science_cache = c699util.get_science_data_cache(30410)
   
   last_scan = science_cache[-1]
   
   print("Last scan data:")
   
   print("Unix timestamp, in seconds:", last_scan.unix_timestamp())
   # Unix timestamp, in seconds: 1452890221.7956727
   
   print("Relative timestamp, in seconds:", last_scan.relative_timestamp())
   # Relative timestamp, in seconds: 5343.399699926376
   
   print("marker ID:", last_scan.marker_id())
   # marker ID: 2050
   
   print("marker Index:", last_scan.xina_marker_index())
   # marker Index: 136
   
   print("marker text:", last_scan.marker_text())
   # marker text: SCN 602 START Emission Current Source B
   
   list_of_ion_counts = last_scan.counts() 
   print("total ion count:", sum(list_of_ion_counts))
   print("total ion count:", last_scan.total_ion_count())
   # total ion count: 40463
   
   print("Highest count in the last_scan:", last_scan.highest_count())
   # Highest count in the last_scan: 708
   
   print("Bin number containing the highest count:", last_scan.highest_count_bin_num())
   # Bin number containing the highest count: 1710
   
   print("Lowest count:", last_scan.lowest_count())
   # Lowest count: 0
   
   # There should be one entry for every 100 bins 
   rf_status_entry_list = last_scan.rf_status_entries()
   rf_entry = rf_status_entry_list[0]
   
   print("First RF Entry start bin:", rf_entry.start_bin)
   # First RF Entry start bin: 0
   
   print("First RF Entry RF Amp V:", rf_entry.rf_amp_v)

   # First RF Entry RF Amp DAC V: 70.00512770935893
   
   print("First RF Entry Aux Amp DAC V:", rf_entry.aux_amp_dac_v)
   # First RF Entry Aux Amp DAC V: 1.0998702980577946
   
   print("RF Amp Start:", last_scan.rf_amp_start())
   # RF Amp Start: 66.67613871395588
   
   print("RF Amp End:", last_scan.rf_amp_end())

c699util and the 699 Gnuplot module

If you use GnuplotArgumentParser (a class defined in 699util), be sure to pass use_c699util=True to the constructor, so that it will use c699util objects internally. (This is not default behavior because I don't want to break older Python scripts.)
