  • modWanted (int) – Module wanted to sample. If none, defaults to center module (rounding down)

  • rowWanted (int) – Row wanted to sample. If none, defaults to center row (rounding down)

  • sensorsground (int (default None)) – Number of scan points along the scene pitch. Default every 20cm

  • sensorsgroundx (int (default 1)) – Number of scans in the x dimension, the side perpendicular to the collector width (CW) of the module(s)

Returns:

groundscan (dictionary) – Scan dictionary for the ground including beneath modules. Used to pass into analysis function
