Read data from an EDF acquisition

To create a ‘Scan’ object from EDF you have to use the :class:EDFTomoScan class and provide the path to the acquisition

WARNING: Browsing EDF files is based on several convention at ESRF. The most important one is that the acquisition ‘identification’ - which is the folder name is repeated in the file names. For example if we have an acquisition names ‘acq_0005’ we expect edf file prefix to be ‘acq_0005’ too.

WARNING: The :class:EDFTomoScan has been tested on EDF single frame files. It wouldn’t be surprising if it fails on EDF multiple frames files.

Get a simple dataset for test (this dataset is a pure noise)

from tomoscan.tests.datasets import GitlabDataset
import os

data_dir = GitlabDataset.get_dataset("edf_datasets/test10")

create an instance of EDFTomoScan

EDFTomoScan implements the TomoScanBase interface. This allow you to have a common API for accessing data from EDF or HDF5 regardless of the type of acquisition.

from tomoscan.esrf.scan.edfscan import EDFTomoScan
scan = EDFTomoScan(scan=data_dir)

Then from it you can access several information

projections
