spinoff from #6

wyrzykow commented 4 years ago

The plugin is now installed on master (visata), the work remains to connect BHTOM to the LT DB to

  1. list the triggers sent
  2. download the spectrum when ready
  3. display spectrum

Looking at the TOM-LT Github page and the codes

https://github.com/TOMToolkit/tom_lt/blob/c8d0fb90bfa2d38ef326976ca6a3e71efabe1a53/tom_lt/lt.py#L523-L527

it looks like the functions are not available yet,

  1. list the triggers sent - This can only be a local record and is not in sync with the LT scheduler, are we going to implement a local version or wait for TOM-LT to implement the method before we link to their server?
  2. download the spectrum when ready - This can be done outside of TOM-LT, but they are planning to implement data distribution capability. So, are we going to implement a data download method that is outside the TOM-universe?
  3. display spectrum - The spectral display can recycle the existing spectral plotting codes, would be a good time to fix https://github.com/wyrzykow/bhtom/issues/13
