The :hops:`MHO_BasicFringeInfo` class provides a collection of static helper functions 
for computing fringe information and parameters. This includes the signal-to-noise ration (SNR) and
probability-of-false-detection (PFD) calculation, error coding/flagging functions, and phase correction calculations.
Some functions include `calculate_snr()` for signal-to-noise ratio calculations, 
`calculate_mbd_no_ion_error()` for multi-band delay error estimation, and 
`calculate_pfd()` for probability of false detection calculations.

=============================================== ====================================================================

The :hops:`MHO_ComputePlotData` class computes fringe plot information required for 
visualization and analysis. It provides the main set of calculations needed for 
power spectra, RMS values, and quality assessment metrics that form the basis of the 
fringe plot.

Some key functions include `calc_mbd()`, `calc_sbd()`, and `calc_dr()` for fringe 
amplitude vs. fit paramater plots. It also provides `calc_freqrms()` and `calc_timerms()` 
for RMS calculations, and `calc_quality_code()` and `calc_error_code()` for 
fringe quality assessment.
