Introduction

POPS reads a section of raw signal every now and then. This module helps you with these raw-files.

Imports



In [1]:

    
from atmPy.instruments.POPS import raw
from atmPy.tools import plt_tools
%matplotlib inline
plt_tools.setRcParams(plt)

Read a raw file



In [2]:

    
pops_raw = raw.load_raw('./data/POPS_Raw.bin')

Every few seconds POPS takes a chunk of raw data and saves to the end of the file. Between each chunks is a 0. Every peak is the signal from a single particle.



In [6]:

    
f,a = plt.subplots()
a.plot(pops_raw)









    Out[6]:





[<matplotlib.lines.Line2D at 0x1110c3898>]



In [10]:

    
f,a = plt.subplots()
start = 50000
width = 1000
a.plot(pops_raw[start: start + width])
a.set_ylim(bottom = 900)









    Out[10]:





(900, 1600.0)
