SIF-Tools

SIF-Tools is a light-weight Python toolkit designed to read .sif data files from an Andor Solis spectrometer. This toolkit includes a set of utilities for opening, analyzing, and plotting data from .sif files, providing a convenient way to handle spectrometer data in scientific workflows.

This Toolkit borrows, and is adapted, from sif_parser by fujiisoup.

Features

• Read .sif files: Efficiently load and parse .sif files from Andor Solis spectrometers.
• Data manipulation: Tools for handling and processing spectrometer data.
• Visualization: Plot data directly from .sif files.

Requirements

• Python >= 3.6
• NumPy
• Scipy

Installation

• Pip install

pip install sif-toolkit

• Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/BjornFS/SIF-Toolkit.git

Usage

Importing SIF-Tools in a Python Script

Calling functions directly:

from sif_tools import sif2array

file = '/Users/user/location/file.sif'
data = sif2array(target=file, reduce_noise=False, window='narrow')

or

from sif_tools import hyperspectrum

bg = 'test_background.sif'
directory = 'UnitTests/UnitTest files'

data = hyperspectrum(directory = directory, background = bg, size = (4,4), reduce_noise=True, window='pinched')

which produces the data structure to create:

See examples for more functions and usage.
