# CRDS Scan Analyzer
### Basics
<img src="screenshots/fit_demo.png" width=600/>
## Basics
- Designed for usage with **Mid-IR laser comb** scan output (time scale, not frequency)
- Expected data column format: `[time, signal voltage in, piezo crystal voltage out]`
- Expected data column format: `<time>, <signal voltage in>, <piezo crystal voltage out (optional)>`
### Building
## Building (Python 3.8+)
1. `pip3 <or python3 -m pip> install -r requirements.txt`
@ -14,12 +16,99 @@
3. Find build output in `/dist/`
### Usage
## General Usage
1. Import data (CSV format preferred, delimiter customization coming later, maybe even [LabView binary](https://pypi.org/project/npTDMS/))
1. Import data (CSV - default Zurich output format)
- Comment - %
- Delimiter - ;
2. Cut out & overlay peak groups using either piezo-voltage-threshold or group-spacing algorithm
3. Set peak isolation parameters + guesses for ringdown function coefficients
4. Admire glorious tau distributions for each comb tooth
4. Admire glorious tau distributions for each comb tooth - **Note that the timescale used during correlation, adding & fitting (including the initial guess for tau) is in SENSOR TICKS. The resulting tau values are converted back to the original timescale at the end.**
## Instructions
##### GENERAL CONFIG
| Input | Purpose |
| -------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| Timestep | Time interval of each sensor tick (e.g. 0.0000000178s) |
##### GROUPING CONFIG (SpacedGroups)
The SpacedGroups algorithm uses the length of each group (looking *length* in each direction from the first peak in the group) to determine which peaks fit into which group.
| Input | Purpose |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Group length | How long in time the peak group is (e.g. 0.0006s) |
| Min peak height | The lowest acceptable height for a peak to be detected |
| Min peak prominence | Prominence of detectable peaks - read about prominence [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topographic_prominence). Is finnicky, might have to play around a bit |
| Moving average size | Peak detection uses a moving average (of which this is the denominator) to smooth out the data **(FOR GROUPING ONLY)**. |
**Notes**
- You can custom start and end cutoffs for grouping in case there's only part of a group at the beginning or end
- You can choose to exclude mirrored groups (which occur every other group). Or don't. Depends on how you configured the lab setup.
##### GROUPING CONFIG (VThreshold)
This algorithm *should* look at the min and max voltages provided to separate out groups. It's not implemented yet, though.
##### PEAK ISOLATION CONFIG
This is where the overlayed peak groups are added together, and the added peaks are cut out.
**Note that the timescale here is in ticks, NOT seconds/milliseconds/etc.**
| Input | Purpose |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Added peak length | The length of the (added) peaks that you want cut out. Centers around tip of peak. |
| Min added peak height | The lowest acceptable height for a peak to be detected |
| Added peak prominence | Prominence of detectable peaks - read about prominence [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topographic_prominence) |
| Shift over cut-out zone | How many ticks to shift the center of the cut-out zone from the peak tip |
##### INITIAL FIT CONFIG
`y = y0 + a*e^(-t/tau)`
| Input | Purpose |
| -------------------- |:------------------------------------------------------- |
| *a* value | Variable in equation |
| *tau* value | Variable in equation |
| *y0* value | Variable in equation |
| Shift over fit start | How many ticks to shift over the start of the curve fit |

## Ideas if anyone has the time to add anything
- Speedier iteration & number crunching ([Numba](https://numba.pydata.org/))
- Support for different file formats (e.g. [LabView]([npTDMS · PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/npTDMS/)))
