sbts-py 1.0.1

Parser for Gigahertz-Optik S-BTS2048 and S-BTS256 spectral data files

sbts-py

Parser for spectral data files exported by Gigahertz-Optik S-BTS2048 and S-BTS256 spectroradiometers (.xls BIFF8 format).

Installation

pip install sbts-py

Usage

from sbts import read

# Single measurement
measurements = read('measurement.xls')
s = measurements[0]

print(s.instrument)               # 'S-BTS2048' or 'S-BTS256'
print(s.wavelengths[0])           # 350.0  (nm)
print(len(s.spd))                 # 701 (S-BTS2048) or 371 (S-BTS256)

print(s.data.get('CCT'))          # 4043.16
print(s.data.get('CRI: Ra'))      # 82.45
print(s.data.get('date'))         # '23.06.2025'

# Multi-measurement file
measurements = read('multi.xls')
for m in measurements:
    print(m.data.get('CCT'), m.data.get('samplenumber'))

# S-BTS256 — diode progression
s = read('S-BTS256.xls')[0]
print(s.diode_time_ms)            # [0.0, 0.02, ...] or None
print(s.data.get('Pst'))          # flicker Pst

Returned object

read() always returns list[Sbts] — a list of one element for a single-measurement file, N elements for a multi-measurement file.

@dataclass
class Sbts:
    wavelengths: list[float]        # wavelengths in nm
    spd: list[float]                # spectral irradiance (W/m²)/nm
    data: dict[str, Any]            # all scalar key/value pairs from the file
    diode_time_ms: list[float] | None
    diode_values: list[float] | None
    instrument: str | None          # 'S-BTS2048' | 'S-BTS256' | None

All missing or unavailable values (-9999.0 convention) are normalized to None.
