Importing eveH5 data from synchrotron radiometry measurements conducted at BESSY/MLS in Berlin.

Welcome! This is evedata, a Python package for importing (synchrotron) radiometry data obtained at one of the beamlines at BESSY-II or MLS in Berlin, mostly operated by the German National Metrology Institute, the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB). This package acts as main interface between the (eveH5) data files and the processing and analysis code and provides abstractions that allow for a convenient and intuitive access to the data and information contained in the data files. For related packages for viewing and analysing those data, have a look at the "related projects" section below.

A list of (planned) features:

• Importer for eve HDF5 files (used at PTB in Berlin, Germany)
• Fully backwards-compatible to older eveH5 versions
• Complete information available that is contained in an eveH5 file
• Powerful and intuitive abstractions, allowing for associative access to data and information

And to make it even more convenient for users and future-proof:

• Open source project written in Python (>= 3.9)
• Developed fully test-driven
• Extensive user and API documentation

To install the evedata package on your computer (sensibly within a Python virtual environment), open a terminal (activate your virtual environment), and type in the following:

pip install evedata

There is a number of related packages users of the evedata package may well be interested in, as they have a similar scope, focussing on working with synchrotron radiometry data.

• radiometry

  A Python package for processing and analysing (synchrotron) radiometry data in a reproducible and mostly automated fashion. Currently, it focusses on data obtained at one of the beamlines at BESSY-II or MLS in Berlin, mostly operated by the German National Metrology Institute, the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB).

• evedataviewer

  A Python package for graphically inspecting data contained in EVE files, i.e. data obtained at one of the beamlines at BESSY-II or MLS in Berlin, mostly operated by the German National Metrology Institute, the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB).
