Instrument Reference Database#
The Instrument Reference Database (IRDB) contains the instrument-specific configuration and data files used by the ScopeSim astronomical instrument simulator.
Each instrument package below ships with example notebooks, mode configuration files, and the component data (filters, PSFs, detector layouts, etc.) needed to run realistic end-to-end simulations.
