Read proprietary file formats from electrochemical test stations.
# Usage
## Bio-Logic .mpr files
Use the `MPRfile` class from BioLogic.py (exported in the main package)
```python
from galvani import BioLogic
import pandas as pd
mpr_file = BioLogic.MPRfile('test.mpr')
df = pd.DataFrame(mpr_file.data)
```
## Arbin .res files
Use the `./galvani/res2sqlite.py` script to convert the .res file to a sqlite3 database with the same schema, which can then be interrogated with external tools or directly in Python.
For example, to extract the data into a pandas DataFrame (will need to be installed separately):
```python
import sqlite3
import pandas as pd
from galvani.res2sqlite import convert_arbin_to_sqlite
convert_arbin_to_sqlite("input.res", "output.sqlite")
with sqlite3.connect("output.sqlite") as db:
df = pd.read_sql(sql="select * from Channel_Normal_Table", con=db)
```
This functionality requires [MDBTools](https://github.com/mdbtools/mdbtools) to be installed on the local system.
# Installation
The latest galvani releases can be installed from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/galvani/) via
```shell
pip install galvani
```
The latest development version can be installed with `pip` directly from GitHub (see note about git-lfs below):
```shell
GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1 pip install git+https://github.com/echemdata/galvani
```
## Development installation and contributing
> [!WARNING]
>
> This project uses Git Large File Storage (LFS) to store its test files,
> however the LFS quota provided by GitHub is frequently exceeded.
> This means that anyone cloning the repository with LFS installed will get
> failures unless they set the `GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1` environment variable when
> cloning.
> The full test data from the last release can always be obtained by
> downloading the GitHub release archives (tar or zip), at
> https://github.com/echemdata/galvani/releases/latest
>
> If you wish to add test files, please ensure they are as small as possible,
> and take care that your tests work locally without the need for the LFS files.
> Ideally, you could commit them to your fork when making a PR, and then they
> can be converted to LFS files as part of the review.
