Python module for Ocean Optics spectrometers

Conda (channel only) PyPI AppVeyor Travis Github All Releases PyPI - Downloads MIT license GitHub issues Github Sponsors

Python-seabreeze is the easy way to access your Ocean Optics spectrometers from python. It wraps the SeaBreeze library provided by Ocean Optics to communicate with the spectrometer. It also provides a pyUSB based reimplementation of SeaBreeze for easy extension. This software is not associated with Ocean Optics. Use it at your own risk.

DOCUMENTATION ON RTD

You'll find the documentation and more detailed information here https://python-seabreeze.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Changes

The changelog can be found here CHANGELOG.md

Install

# via pypi
pip install seabreeze
seabreeze_os_setup

or

# via conda
conda install -c conda-forge seabreeze
seabreeze_os_setup

Usage

The following example shows how simple it is to acquire a spectrum with python-seabreeze through the model independent Spectrometer class. For a more detailed description read the documentation:

>>> from seabreeze.spectrometers import Spectrometer
>>> spec = Spectrometer.from_first_available()
>>> spec.integration_time_micros(20000)
>>> spec.wavelengths()
array([  340.32581   ,   340.70321186,   341.08058305, ...,  1024.84940994,
        1025.1300678 ,  1025.4106617 ])
>>> spec.intensities()
array([  1.58187931e+01,   2.66704852e+04,   6.80208103e+02, ...,
         6.53090172e+02,   6.35011552e+02,   6.71168793e+02])

To use the pyseabreeze backend (requires pyusb) simply run this before importing seabreeze.spectrometers.

>>> import seabreeze
>>> seabreeze.use('pyseabreeze')
>>> import seabreeze.spectrometers as sb
