Igor2

Python parser for Igor Binary Waves (.ibw) and Packed Experiment (.pxp) files written by WaveMetrics' IGOR Pro software.

Igor2 is the continuation of the inactive igor project.

Installation

You can install igor2 via pip:

pip install igor2

Usage

This package is a direct replacement of igor. Your scripts should work without any issues if you replace:

import igor

with:

import igor2 as igor

See the docstrings and unit tests for examples using the Python API.

CLI

The package also installs two command-line-interface (CLI) scripts, igorbinarywave and igorpackedexperiment which can be used to dump files to stdout. You should install the [CLI] extra for them to fully work:

pip install igor2[CLI]

For details on their usage, use the --help option. For example:

igorbinarywave --help

Testing

Run internal unit tests by cloning the repository and installing the [dev] extra and then running the tests:

git clone https://github.com/AFM-analysis/igor2.git
cd igor2
pip install -e .[dev]
pytest
