GstLAL documentation
GstLAL provides a suite of GStreamer elements that expose gravitational-wave data analysis tools from the LALSuite library for use in GStreamer signal-processing pipelines.
Examples include an element to add simulated gravitational waves to an h(t) stream, and a source element to provide the contents of .gwf frame files to a GStreamer pipeline.
Overview
The GstLAL software package is used for the following activities:
-
gstlalprovides core Gstreamer plugins for signal processing workflows with LIGO data and core python bindings for constructing such workflows. -
gstlal-calibrationprovides real-time calibration of LIGO control system data into strain data. -
gstlal-inspiralprovides additional signal processing plugins that are specific for LIGO / Virgo searches for compact binaries as well as a substantial amount of python code for post-processing raw signal processing results into gravitational wave candidate lists. Several publications about the methodology and workflow exist, see :ref:`publications` -
gstlal-burstprovides additional signal processing plugins for use in astrophysical and noise transient burst searches. -
gstlal-uglyis an incubator project for gradual inclusion in the other packages.
