irfpy.mima.mode

IMA mode.

See also irfpy.imacommon.imamode.

irfpy.mima.mode.get(t)

Return the mode at t as int from the operation file

Warning

This function relies on the operation file, while operation module is not continuously maintained nowadays (2020-09-02).

For usual data analysis, IMA mode can be obtained from the data itself. Example follows.

>>> from irfpy.mima import rawdata
>>> dc = rawdata.DataCenterCount3d()
>>> import datetime
>>> t = datetime.datetime(2004, 1, 22, 22, 40)
>>> tdata, imadata = dc.nearest(t)     # This is a nominal way of getting data.
>>> print(imadata.mode_data)     # mode_data refer to the mode of the original data.
<IMA:Mode-24 (Exm-0) M32/A16/E96/P16>

Returns

The mode used for IMA operation

If unknown or invalid, -999 is returned.
