Installation

pip install pypamguard

Getting Started

Example of loading in a simple PAMGuard data file into Python.

import pypamguard
df = pypamguard.load_binary_data_file('path/to/data/file.pgdf')

Then, for example, you can print out the file header like so.

print(df.file_header) # File header
print(df.file_header.version) # File version

Modules also have a module_header, module_footer, file_footer, and most importantly data. The data chunks are stored in an array data, and can be accessed with index notation or a loop.

print("File length", len(df.data)) # Number of module data chunks
first_obj = df.data[0] # First module data chunk
for chunk in df.data: # Looping through the data
    print(chunk.identifier)
