This library is a tentative to read the *.mdt files generated by Nova-PX software used but the NT-MDT AFM/MFM/Raman instrument. However, for the moment it is really in an alpha state.
- read the header of the file
- read the header of any standard frame
- (experimental) read the text frame
- read the MDA frame
- 2 dimensions, 1 mesurand the AFM/MFM frame (2D/color map)
- 1 dimension, 1 mesurand (or 2 mesurands) curve, except if the x axis is stored in the XML metadata (in this case put an arbitrary x axis)
- a nice package with __init__.py and stuff like that -- low priority
- support of the STM frames (MDT_FRAME_SCANNED)
- maybe support of the new curve frame MDT_FRAME_CURVES_NEW (but I don’t have any file to work with)
- put a doc and some examples
- support the old 1D MDA curve where the x-coordinates are hid in the XML metadata (come on, why somebody would hide data information in the metadata)
- Support for old MDA frame because it is not really used anymore.
- Support for the palette frame (I don’t know the specs and I clearly don’t want spending time on something that nobody use...)
- Python >= 3.6
- numpy >= 1.13.1
