cellpy.readers.cellreader#

Datareader for cell testers and potentiostats.

This module is used for loading data and databases created by different cell testers and exporing them in a common hdf5-format.

Example

>>> c = cellpy.get(["super_battery_run_01.res", "super_battery_run_02.res"]) # loads and merges the runs
>>> voltage_curves = c.get_cap()
>>> c.save("super_battery_run.hdf")

Load a raw data-file.

Parameters:

Set the directory containing .hdf5-files.

Used for setting directory for looking for hdf5-files. A valid directory name is required.

Parameters:

directory (str) – path to hdf5-directory

Example

>>> d = CellpyCell()
>>> directory = "MyData/HDF5"
>>> d.set_raw_datadir(directory)
static set_col_first(df, col_names)[source]#

Set selected columns first in a pandas.DataFrame.

This function sets cols with names given in col_names (a list) first in the DataFrame. The last col in col_name will come first (processed last)

set_instrument(instrument=None, model=None, instrument_file=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Set the instrument (i.e. tell cellpy the file-type you use).

Three different modes of setting instruments are currently supported. You can provide the already supported instrument names (see the documentation, e.g. “arbin_res”). You can use the “custom” loader by providing the path to a yaml-file describing the file format. This can be done either by setting instrument to “instrument_name::instrument_definition_file_name”, or by setting instrument to “custom” and provide the definition file name through the instrument_file keyword argument. A last option exists where you provide the yaml-file name directly to the instrument parameter. Cellpy will then look into your local instrument folder and search for the yaml-file. Some instrument types also supports a model key-word.

Parameters:
  • instrument – (str) in [“arbin_res”, “maccor_txt”,…]. If instrument ends with “.yml” a local instrument file will be used. For example, if instrument is “my_instrument.yml”, cellpy will look into the local instruments folders for a file called “my_instrument.yml” and then use LocalTxtLoader to load after registering the instrument. If the instrument name contains a ‘::’ separator, the part after the separator will be interpreted as ‘instrument_file’.

  • model – (str) optionally specify if the instrument loader supports handling several models (some instruments allow for exporting data in slightly different formats depending on the choices made during the export or the model of the instrument, e.g. different number of header lines, different encoding).

  • instrument_file – (path) instrument definition file,

  • kwargs (dict) – key-word arguments sent to the initializer of the loader class

Notes

If you are using a local instrument loader, you will have to register it first to the loader factory.

>>> c = CellpyCell()  # this will automatically register the already implemented loaders
>>> c.instrument_factory.register_builder(instrument_id, (module_name, path_to_instrument_loader_file))

It is highly recommended using the module_name as the instrument_id.
