pint.toa

Tools for working with pulse time-of-arrival (TOA) data.

In particular, single TOAs are represented by pint.toa.TOA objects, and if you want to manage a collection of these we recommend you use a pint.toa.TOAs object as this makes certain operations much more convenient. You probably want to load one with pint.toa.get_TOAs() (from a .tim file) or pint.toa.get_TOAs_array() (from a numpy.ndarray or astropy.time.Time object).
