Reading Renishaw WiRE files

This example shows how to read a Renishaw WiRE files (*.wdf format).

The spectral data used has been downloaded from https://github.com/alchem0x2A/py-wdf-reader (MIT License) and stored in the local directory ramandata/wire.

The examples given here is a modified version of the original examples: See https://github.com/alchem0x2A/py-wdf-reader/blob/master/examples

import numpy as np

First we need to import the spectrochempy API package

import spectrochempy as scp

Import dataset from local files Read Raman data recorded in WiRe format (.wdf extension). We just pass the file name as parameter.

First read a single spectrum (measurement type : single)

dataset = scp.read_wire("ramandata/wire/sp.wdf")  # or read_wdf (or read)
_ = dataset.plot()

Now read a series of spectra (measurement type : series) from a Z-depth scan.

dataset = scp.read_wdf("ramandata/wire/depth.wdf")
_ = dataset.plot_image()

filter blank spectra

keep_rows = np.where(dataset.data.mean(axis=1) > 0)[0]
dataset = dataset[keep_rows]
_ = dataset.plot_image()

extract a line scan data from a StreamLine HR measurement

dataset = scp.read("ramandata/wire/line.wdf")
_ = dataset.plot_image()

finally extract grid scan data from a StreamLine HR measurement

dataset = scp.read_wdf("ramandata/wire/mapping.wdf")
# plot the dataset as an image (summming all wavenumbers)
_ = dataset.sum(dim=2).plot_image()
# plot the image taken at 1529cm-1
_ = dataset[..., 1529.0].plot_image()

This ends the example ! The following line can be uncommented if no plot shows when running the .py script with python

# scp.show()
