Hi,
I am confused about the units of the noise levels in Instrument.
The doc says that they are expected to be in uK_RJarcmin
https://github.com/bthorne93/PySM_public/blob/b3e23bb8f88182bf440b731a2bab7100a255af0d/pysm/pysm.py#L147

However, from here
https://github.com/bthorne93/PySM_public/blob/b3e23bb8f88182bf440b731a2bab7100a255af0d/pysm/pysm.py#L475
and
https://github.com/bthorne93/PySM_public/blob/b3e23bb8f88182bf440b731a2bab7100a255af0d/pysm/pysm.py#L532
I understand that the noise levels are expected in uK_CMBarcmin.

If you confirm that sens_I and sens_P are actually expected in CMB units I can open a pull request that changes the doc of Instrument
Thanks

Hi, if some developer could confirm or refute my understanding, it would be very useful: I am relying on this for several analyses. Thanks a lot for any help on this and for the library in general.

Hi, This does look like a typo in the documentation, and should be uK_CMB. Please do go ahead and open a PR, thanks!
