scraps 0.5.3

Who is using scraps?

Scraps is in use at Argonne National Laboratory, Caltech, University of Chicago, Oxford and probably many other places! Recently a group at Oxford used scraps to fit MKID resonator data for this publication: MKID digital readout tuning with deep learning

Scraps is licensed under the MIT license, so feel free to copy it, play with it, modify it, etc. under those terms (which are pretty loose!).

Documentation

Installation is as simple as:

pip install scraps

or if you want to get the may-not-be-stable developer version:

git clone http://github.com/FaustinCarter/scraps
pip install -e /dir/where/you/cloned/scraps
cd /dir/where/you/cloned/scraps
git checkout develop

For complete API documentation, more in depth installation instructions and some example tutorials, see the official documentation at: http://scraps.readthedocs.io

Short description of files that aren’t code:

• Example1: a JuPyter notebook that will help you get started with the basics. Focus is on a single S21 sweep.

• Example2: a slightly more advanced tutorial that focuses on lots of sweeps at several temperatures and powers.

• Example3: an example showcasing some of the more advanced plotting features. The data for this notebook is at: http://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.61575

• ExampleData.zip: A ton of actual superconducting resonator data from a Nb microstrip resonator made at ANL.

• convert_notebooks.sh: A handy little bash script to turn the Example# notebooks into rst files in the docs folder properly.

• readthedocs.yml and environment.yml: These are needed to properly build the documentation hosted at RTD.
