simcado.detector.make_noise_cube(num_layers=25, filename='FPA_noise.fits', multicore=True)

Create a large noise cube with many separate readout frames.

Note: Each frame takes about 15 seconds to be generated. The default value of 25 frames will take around six minutes depending on your computer’s architecture.

The filename for the FITS cube. Default is “FPA_noise.fits”
