Post Installation

After installation, you may register the pysatCDAAC Instrument sub-modules with pysat. If this is your first time using pysat, check out the quickstart guide for pysat. Once pysat is set up, you may choose to register the the pysatCDAAC Instruments sub-modules by:

import pysat
import pysatCDAAC

pysat.utils.registry.register_by_module(pysatCDAAC.instruments)

You may then use the pysat platform and name keywords to initialize the model Instrument instead of the inst_module keyword argument.
