TODs
####

The result of a simulation is a ``TOD``, which encapsulates the generated time-ordered data (and all metadata, like the pointing coordinates).
The overall signal in the


.. code-block:: python

    tod.plot()

It has a few useful features. We can see what our data looks like with

.. code-block:: python

    tod.plot()

==========
Components
==========

The total signal in each detector can be accessed as

.. code-block:: python

    tod.signal # returns an array

which is the sum of all of the simulated fields (e.g. noise, atmosphere, CMB) separately, contributing to the incident power. For convenience, we can also access the individual fields as

.. code-block:: python

    tod.get_field("atmosphere") # returns an array

We can see all the available fields with ``tod.fields``.


=====
Units
=====

TODs are by default in units of picowatts, but we can convert to any unit that is a combination of an SI prefix and a base unit (one of `K_RJ`, `K_CMB`, or `W`).

.. code-block:: python

    tod_in_rj_units = tod.to(units="mK_RJ")
    tod_in_cmb_units = tod.to(units="uK_CMB")
