Open Source Python Data Analytics Tools

SciDAVis is a user-friendly data analysis and visualization program primarily aimed at high-quality plotting of scientific data. It strives to combine an intuitive, easy-to-use graphical user interface with powerful features such as Python scriptability.

xrayutilities is a python package used to analyze x-ray diffraction data. It can support with performing diffraction experiments and used for common steps in the data analysis. It can read experimental data from several data formats (spec, edf, xrdml, ...); convert them to reciprocal space for arbitrary goniometer geometries and different detector systems (point, linear as well as area detectors); for further processing the data can be gridded (transformed to a regular grid). More detailed description as well as documentation can be found at webpage http://xrayutilities.sourceforge.io/. Downloads for windows can be found on http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xrayutilities Development is performed on github: https://github.com/dkriegner/xrayutilities

GXSM -- Gnome X Scanning Microscopy: A multi-channel image and vector-probe data acquisition and visualization system designed for SPM techniques (STM,AFM..), but also SPA-LEED/LEED/LEEM data analysis. A plug-in interface allows any user add-on data-processing and special hardware and instrument support. Latest: NC-AFM and related explorative methods as SQDM can be configured. High-Speed external PAC-PLL hardware option with digital DSP link. Based on several hardware options it supports a commercially available DSP hardware and provided also Open Source Code for all the low level signal processing tasks and instrument controls in a most flexible and adaptable manner. All latest software is available via github.com/pyzahl/Gxsm4 (source code) or as binary for Ubuntu on https://launchpad.net/~totto/+archive/ubuntu/gxsm

LaueTools is an open-source project for white beam Laue x-ray microdiffraction data analysis including tools in image processing, peaks searching & indexing, crystal structure solving (orientation & strain) and data & grain mapping visualisation. Python 3 Code and new features are now at: https://gitlab.esrf.fr/micha/lauetools

PAScual is a data analysis suite for Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy (PALS).

ThermV thermal analysis software package aims to provide the most sophisticated automatic analysis of thermal analysis data (TG/DTG, DTA and DSC). It offers new algorithm for concurrent peak deconvolution at different heating rates and provides full kinetic analysis of these data, including isoconversional methods for Ea, determination of reaction model and full kinetic triplet, Avrami coefficients, and dimensionality of crystal growth for reactions in the solid state. The project is currently in alpha stage, where individual modules will be provided for data analysis. The modules for peak deconvolution, peak profile analysis and determination of Ea and lnA will be provided first. Full GUI will be provided in beta stage. Due to computational limitations, the code is partly programmed in Python and partly in R. Python code will eventually be fully integrated into GUI. R code might remain standalone, although it will be integrated to a highest possible degree. Distributed under GPL

This simple Python API aims to provide a simple and easy to understand access to the discharge database of the GOLEM Tokamak. The scipy, numpy and matplotlib Python libraries are used for data analysis and plotting.

Larch is a scientific data processing language that is designed to be easy to use for novices and complete enough for advanced data processing and analysis. Larch provides a wide range of functionality for dealing with arrays of scientific data, and basic tools to make it easy to use and organize complex data. Larch has been primarily developed for dealing with x-ray spectroscopic and scattering data, especially the kind of data collected at modern synchrotrons and x-ray sources. Larch is written in Python and relies heavily on the standard tools for scientific computing with Python (numpy, scipy, matplotlib, and h5py).

A toolkit of Python software useful in a laboratory data acquisition and analysis environment. Includes support for such protocols as VXI-11 (and its extension, LXI), Vernier LabPro (now very old), and National Instruments DSTP (now very old). Also includes data analysis and modelling tidbits. Python3 updates are on the way in the very near future for the biggest packages. the vxi11 package is fully up-to-date, although see the blog post about python 3.13

QME-DEV Workbench (wxScipy) is a data analysis workbench based on Python, SciPy, Numpy and MatPlotLib(PyLab) and uses wxPython for the GUI. It can be used for non-linear analysis with a large set of experimental or generated data. Load/Acquire / Save/ Gr

Data evaluation tool for the magnetism reflectometer at the spallation neutron source (BL-4A@SNS). Reads raw nexus files (HDF5) of histogrammed or event mode data to create reflectivity curves and 2D Q-maps.

SCaVis is an environment for scientific computation, data analysis and data visualization for scientists, engineers and students. The program is fully multiplatform (100% Java) and integrated with Java and a number of scripting languages: Jython (Python), Groovy, JRuby, BeanShell. SCaVis can be used to plot functions and data in 2D and 3D, perform statistical tests, data mining, numeric computations, function minimization, linear algebra, solving systems of linear and differential equations. Linear, non-linear and symbolic regression are also available. Elements of symbolic computations using Octave/Matlab scripting are supported. The project was migrated to DataMelt.

VISPA is a novel development environment for high energy physics analyses, based on a combination of graphical and textual steering. The main goal of VISPA is to support users in prototyping, performing, and verifying a data analysis of any complexity.
