Microcalorimetry¶
This package provides a library of data acquisition and analysis tools for RF power calibrations using microcalorimeters. Included in this package is:
A Python scripting API
A User Inteface (CLI and GUI) for data acquisition and analysis.
This package is built using Rocky Mountain Ellipse (RME) , a project to develop tools for digital traceability at NIST.
Introduction¶
Install with pip or preffered package manager.
pip install microcalorimetry
The command line interface is can be accessed with the ucal command:
ucal --help
The GUI is launched via the command line interface
ucal gui
The Python API provides a functional interface for performing measurements and data analysis.
The microcalorimetry.measurements submodule provides an interface into RF sweep and DC sweep measurement procedures, as well as tools to parse the raw data.
import microcalorimetry.measurements.dcsweep as dcsweep
import microcalorimetry.measurements.rfsweep as rfsweep
Analysis functions that take in parsed data and generate new data sets with uncertainties (like the effective efficiency of power sensors) are provided in the microcalorimetry.analysis submodule.
import microcalorimetry.analysis as analysis
Configuration objects for measurements and analysis scripts are provided in a microcalorimetry.configs module.
import microcalorimetry.configs as configs
Mathematical operations compatable with
RMEMeas
objects are stored in the microcalorimetry.math submodule.
import microcalorimetery.math as mcmath
