pvlib.iotools.parse_cams(filename, integrated=False, label=None, map_variables=True)#

Deprecated since version 0.12.1: The parse_cams function was deprecated in pvlib 0.12.1 and will be removed soon. Use read_cams instead.

Read a file or file-like buffer with data in the format of a CAMS Radiation or McClear file.

The CAMS solar radiation services are described in [1].

Parameters:

filename (str, path-like, or buffer) – Filename or in-memory buffer of a file containing data to read.
integrated (boolean, default False) – Whether to return radiation parameters as integrated values (Wh/m^2) or as average irradiance values (W/m^2) (pvlib preferred units)
label ({'right', 'left'}, optional) – Which bin edge label to label time-step with. The default is ‘left’ for all time steps except for ‘1M’ which has a default of ‘right’.
map_variables (bool, default: True) – When true, renames columns of the Dataframe to pvlib variable names where applicable. See variable VARIABLE_MAP.
