dispatch_scheduler

A dispatch scheduler simulation that can be modified for personal work. Intended for work with MINERVA collaboration.

OUTPUT

All of the resulting information from a simulation run is record in the results directory. Each simulation creates its own directory, with a title of YYYYMMDD.#####, where the YYYYMMDD is the date the simulation was run, and the ##### is an index of the simulatoin in the folder. E.G. for two simulations run on 20160101 and one simulation run on 20160102, the directories produced would be 20160101.00001, 20160101.00002, and 20160102.00003.

Each simulation directory contains a summary file titled as YYYYMMDD.#####.txt, which matches the name of the directory it was created in. This file will contain some of the general information about the simulation, like the start and end time, the name of the target list(?), and and others. I'm going to put the docstring from the weighting funtion in, among other things. Still in formulation.

Each target that was observed will have a a file titled NAME.txt, which includes a single line header of the columns, and each row after being an observation recorded. The information for each observation may change, so I will not detail it quite yet. Suffice ot say, the header should do a decent job for each column. The columns are tab-delimited, so spliting at the string '\t' should work.

There are also some other files, like sunrise.txt, sunset.txt, and, for each target, a NAMErise.txt and NAMEset.txt, which are mostly used in the plotting function vis.py.
