Concise Description
A Python package to support the HERMES instrument packages, providing common functionality for loading, calibrating, plotting, validating, and saving measurement data through CDF files.
Description
A central Python package for common functionality across all HERMES instruments. The HERMES core package contains Python interfaces for the loading, calibrating, plotting, validating, and saving of measurement data through Common Data Format (CDF) files. Additional packages are created for HERMES instruments to provide specific calibration and processing functionality. The abstraction of intricate, high heritage, data formats, such as CDF files, in Python enables easier analysis and opens doors for greater participation in heliophysics science.
