Importing Data into SXDM¶
The first step in any SXDM workflow will be to import the raw data into a common format. These importer functions are written as needed: if your preferred beamline is not here, `submit an issue`_.
APS Beamline 26-ID-C¶
Experimental Data (.mda) Import:
The raw data file file.mda
given to the User at 26-ID-C saves all source
data as a matlab binary file. SXDM preserves the original (“source”) file
and saves imported and processed data in a second (“destination”) HDF file
to be used in later analysis. The source file.mda
file can be easily
imported:
import_mda(mda_path='path/to/.mda_file',
hdf5_save_directory='path/to/save/dir',
hdf5_save_filename='file')
This function will iterate through all file.mda
files and import all
detector channel data into the User defined hdf5 destination/file. Raw
reader values are flipped and inverted to match 26-ID-C beamline MatLab
Viewer output.
Diffraction Image (.tif) Import:
The raw diffraction images image_#####.tif
given to the User at 26-ID-C
will be imported based on this protocal. This saves all source data as a matlab
binary file. SXDM preserves the original (“source”) file and saves imported and
processed data in a second (“destination”) HDF file to be used in later analysis.
The source image_#####.tif
file can be easily imported:
import_images(
file='path/to/save/dir/file.h5',
images_loc='/path/to/master/images/directory',
scans=False,
fill_num=4,
delete=False,
import_type='uint32',
delimiter_function=<function delimiter_func at 0x7f0873f3fe18>,
force_reimport=False,
)
This function will iterate through all folders in the images_loc
folders and import all
images_####.tif
image data into the User defined hdf5 destination/file. This will Not
reimport the .tif images. If the User would like to do this they can set force_reimport=True
