With ixdat, you can import, combine, and export complex experimental datasets
as simply as:
ec = Measurement.read_set("awesome_EC_data", reader="biologic")
ec.plot_measurement()
ms = Measurement.read("2021-03-30 16_59_35 MS data.tsv", reader="zilien")
ms.plot_measurement()
ecms = ec + ms
ecms.plot_measurement()
ecms.export("my_combined_data.csv")
Output:
In-situ experimental data made easy
Or rather, than exporting, you can take advantage of ixdat's powerful analysis
tools and database backends to be a one-stop tool from messy raw data to public
repository accompanying your breakthrough publication and advancing our field.
ixdat provides a powerful object-oriented interface to experimental data, especially in-situ experimental data for which it is of interest to combine data obtained simultaneously from multiple techniques.
Documentation is at https://ixdat.readthedocs.io
In addition to a pluggable parser interface for importing your data format, ixdat it also includes
pluggable exporters and plotters, as well as a database interface. A relational model of experimental data is
thought into every level.

To use ixdat, you need to have python installed. We recommend
Anaconda python.
To install ixdat, just type in your terminal or Anaconda prompt:
$ pip install ixdat
And hit enter.
ixdat is under development, and to make use of the newest features,
you may need to upgrade to the latest version. This is also easy. Just type:
$ pip install --upgrade ixdat
ixdat is shown in practice in a growing number of open repositories of data and analysis
