apread 1.0.8

Import data from CatmanAP binary files.

apread (Catman AP Reader)

Read binary files produced from catmanAP projects directly into python.

CatmanAP procudes .bin files after each measurement. While it is possible to export as a different format (i.e. txt or asc) it's not efficient because one has to change the export format after every measurement. Here comes the treat: Just export as binary and use this package to work with binary files directly.

After reading all channels from the binary file, the channels are analyzed and every measure-channel will receive a reference to a time channel, depending on the amount of entries in the channels and the fact, that the time-channel has to contain "time" or "zeit" in its name. What that means is, that a channel with x entries and the name "time - 1" will be regarded as the time-channel of any other channel with x Data Entries.

Installation

Anywhere with python:

pip install apread

Usage example

Lets say you produced a file called measurements.bin and you put it in the directory of your python script.

from apread import APReader

reader = APReader('measurements.bin')

It's that simple. The APReader-Initialization may take some time depending on how large your .bin-File is. Afterwards you can access the Channels by accessing the APReader.Channels Member. A Channel implements __str__ so you can just call print(...) on them. Be careful though, since this will print every value in the channel to the console.

for channel in reader.Channels:
    print(channel)

Another possibility is to call Channel.plot(). This will create a plot of the channel.

for channel in reader.Channels:
    channel.plot()
