Reading data#
The main resistics package supports two time data formats and two calibration data formats.
For time data:
ASCII (including compressed ASCII, e.g. bz2)
numpy .npy
Where possible, it is recommended to use the numpy data format for time data as this is quicker to read from. Whilst it is a binary format, it is portable and well supported by the numpy package.
For calibration data, resistics supports:
Text file calibration data
JSON calibration data
The structure of these two calibration data formats can be seen in the relevant examples.
Note
Support for other data formats is provided by the resistics-readers package. This includes support for Metronix ATS data, SPAM RAW data, Phoenix TS data, Lemi data and potentially more in the future.
