What's the status of this re. our discussions about the instr package this week? As far as I interpret things, we shouldn't be adding anything new to instr.
For proposed functionality like this, I think we should transfer these issues to the new repo rather than close them.
Can someone who has the right permissions move this to https://github.com/sunpy/sunkit-instruments?
A standard data product from rhessi are "corrected" count rates. These rates remove a number of instrumental affects from the summary count rate product. The implementation exists in IDL and can be found here http://hesperia.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssw/hessi/idl/qlook_archive/hsi_obs_summ_rate__define.pro. All of the information necessary to perform this exists in the observing summary files which can be downloaded using
sunpy.instr.rhessi.get_obssumm_file()
. Corrected count rates should be added to the output ofsunpy.instr.rhessi.parse_obssumm_file()
function.
