Experiments

This is where you would create your experiment that you would like to run on the radar. The following are a couple of examples of current SuperDARN experiments, and a brief discussion of the update() method which will be implemented at a later date.

normalscan

Normalscan is a very common experiment for SuperDARN. It does not update itself, so no update() method is necessary. It only has a single slice, as there is only one frequency, pulse_len, beam_order, etc. Since there is only one slice there is no need for an interface dictionary.

../../src/borealis_experiments/normalscan.py

twofsound

Twofsound is a common variant of the normalscan experiment for SuperDARN. It does not update itself, so no update() method is necessary. It has two frequencies so will require two slices. The frequencies switch after a full scan (full cycle through the beams), therefore the interfacing between slices 0 and 1 should be 'SCAN'.
