Introduction
============
Scanbytes is a collection of code for collecting and aggregating data for the 
analysis of VIIRS data requirements for SNPP, J1, and J2 spacecraft buses. It 
is the result of a request from James Gleason and Laura Elen Defoe.

Scanbytes contains the following:

l0_scan_bytes.py
----------------
Collects level 0 packet sizes summed across scans per APID and outputs  
collected data to daily NetCDF4 files.

l0_pkt_bytes.py
---------------
Collects level 0 packet sizes and times for individual packets by APID and
and outputs results to daily NetCDF4 files.


Installation
============

Requirements
------------
To install you will need a Python envirionment with Python >= v3.5.
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

Running
=======
Inputs
------
All scripts operate with NASA VIIRS Level 0 PDS files as input

Outputs
-------
All outputs will be in NetCDF4

Running
-------
Running the scripts is very straight forward. Print the help for the individual
scripts using `--help`
