Introduction
mapping is a Python software package for simulating on-sky data acquisition and forecasting scanning performance.
The mapping package allows for tools that:
Configuring camera instruments with user-defined and/or pre-defined detector arrays.
Representing different scan patterns in terms of its offsets as well as its telescope motion.
Determining optimal times for observing a particular source.
While default options are specific to PrimeCam and the Fred Young Submillimetre Telescope (FYST), the package can also be used for other telescopes and cameras.
