Code Description

MMG_Toolbox

Magnetic Materials Group Toolbox

Experiment

Experiment class Monitors data folders for scan files and provies a convenient way to load scan data using only a scan number.

E.G. from mmg_toolbox import Experiment exp = Experiment('path/to/folder1', 'path/to/folder2', instrument='i06') print(scan) scan = exp.scan(-1) # latest scan scan_list = exp.scans(range(12345, 12355)) data = exp.join_scan_data(range(-100, 0), data_fields=['cmd', 'Ta']) # returns dict of arrays

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
folder_paths str

file directories containing .nxs files

 ()
instrument str | None

instrument name for configuration.

 None

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
scan_files int | str

set of scan numbers or filenames, if not given will search all scans in folder.

 ()
hdf_map NexusMap | None

if given, uses this hdfmap rather than generating one.

 None
first_only bool

if true, returns on the first result

 False
matches str | float | tuple[float, float]

keyword arguments for matching parameters

 {}

Returns:
