Target audience

Who is the target audience of the evefile package? Is it interesting for me?

Synchrotron radiometry people at PTB Berlin

The evefile package currently primarily addresses radiometry people working at the synchrotron beamlines at BESSY-II and MLS in Berlin operated by the German National Metrology Institute, the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB). Its primary goal is to provide a stable and somewhat abstract interface to the measured data storead primarily as HDF5 files according to a given scheme (that evolved over time). As such, it is only one (fundamental) building block in a larger digital infrastructure for data processing and analysis.

Note

This is a transitional package meant to be used only until the evedata package is considered sufficiently stable for routine use. It provides a rather low-level interface to the eveH5 data files, lacking many of the abstractions available within evedata. See Differences to evedata for more details.

If you are looking for a data viewer tool, aimed at conveniently inspecting data directly at the beamline, you may have a look at the evedataviewer package. And if you are interested in the reproducible processing and analysis of radiometry data, have a look at the radiometry package.
