CMOS workshop Pyxel training

CNES, ESA, AIRBUS DEFENCE & SPACE, THALES ALENIA SPACE, SODERN organise the 7th “Space & Scientific CMOS Image Sensors” workshop on November 22nd and 23rd 2022. The workshop will take place at ESA-ESTEC. The aim of this workshop is to focus on CMOS image sensors for scientific and space applications (see programme here).

The Pyxel Developper team is taking the opportunity to organise a training session on November 24th from 09:00 till 12:00.

The Pyxel training session will be hybrid (on site at ESTEC and online through MS teams) and open for everyone to attend (whether you attend the workshop or not, whether you are a python/pyxel guru or not).

Please register and indicate whether you plan to attend in person or not (only a limited amount of on-site places available): pyxel training registration.

TRAINING AGENDA

In this training you will receive support in installing Pyxel on your own computer, follow a step-by-step tutorial on running a first detector simulation, get familiar with the different modes of operation, learn how to add your own models and contribute to the framework.

Here is the training outline - bring your laptop, no prerequisites:

09:00 Installing Pyxel and getting the tutorials to work - 30 mins

09:30 Overview and "my first Pyxel simulation" tutorial - 20 mins

09:50 Observation mode tutorial featuring a dark current versus temperature simulation - 20 mins

10:10 Break - 15 mins

10:25 Calibration mode tutorial featuring a CCD CTI model fit to lab test data - 30 mins

10:55 "Adding your brand new model to Pyxel" tutorial - 10 mins

11:05 Contribution tips - 10 mins

11:15 Time allocated to specific model demonstrations - please let us know if you have any wishes

In the afternoon from 13:00-16:00, the Pyxel developer team is meeting:

13:00 Python guru Frederic Lemmel will give the team a training session on (unit) testing

13:30 Hackathon: the pyxel developers code together as many unit tests as possible into Pyxel.
