A Python 3 project that generates cable layouts for future international LOFAR fields. Documentation for this program is currently only available in the form of docstrings.
A very basic usage example is as follows:
import lofarcabling
layout = lofarcabling.go(90, (40, -40), "points.csv", "layout.csv", True)
90 is the amount of degrees the field is rotated clockwise
(40, -40) are the x and y coordinates of the startpoint
"points.csv": The filelocation where you want to save a .csv with the coordinates of all antennas
"layout.csv": The filelocation where you want to save a .csv with the coordinates of the points and lines
True / False: True if you want the "improved" version of the field, False if you just want a quick version (True takes ~1:30 hour and False takes ~ minute)
To run this project, you will need python 3 and some packages listed in requirements.txt
Python version 3.6 or greater is required
To install, use python setup.py install (or see python setup.py --help for options).
