Time-series of input laser power#
This example shows the input laser power (W) for each LIGO Detector for three hours around GW170817 (data taken from the Auxiliary Channel Three Hour Release).
gwpy-plot timeseries \
--chan H1:IMC-PWR_IN_OUT_DQ \
--chan L1:IMC-PWR_IN_OUT_DQ \
--start 1186736512 \
--duration 3hour \
--ylabel 'Interferometer input power (W)' \
--suptitle 'LIGO input laser power' \
--interactive
The same command can be executed directly in Python as:
from gwpy.cli.gwpy_plot import main
main([
'timeseries',
'--chan', 'H1:IMC-PWR_IN_OUT_DQ',
'--chan', 'L1:IMC-PWR_IN_OUT_DQ',
'--start', '1186736512',
'--duration', '3hour',
'--ylabel', 'Interferometer input power (W)',
'--suptitle', 'LIGO input laser power',
'--interactive',
])
