GWDetChar is a python package for gravitational-wave detector characterisation and data quality. It is designed for use with ground-based interferometric detectors such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO), Virgo, and GEO600.

To get started, simply import the core module:

import gwdetchar

Installation

GWDetChar is best installed with conda:
