merge_packed_time_series

lsst_efd_client.merge_packed_time_series(packed_dataframe, base_field, stride=1, ref_timestamp_col='cRIO_timestamp', internal_time_scale='tai')

Select fields that are time samples and unpack them into a dataframe. Parameters ———- packed_dataframe : pandas.DataFrame

packed data frame containing the desired data

base_field : str

Base field name that will be expanded to query all vector entries.

stride : int, optional

Only use every stride value when unpacking. Must be a factor of the number of packed values. (1 by default)

ref_timestamp_col : str, optional

Name of the field name to use to assign timestamps to unpacked vector fields (default is ‘cRIO_timestamp’).

internal_time_scale : str, optional

Time scale to use when converting times to internal formats (‘tai’ by default). Equivalent to EfdClient.internal_scale

result : pandas.DataFrame

A pandas.DataFrame containing the results of the query.
