Package overview#
What is MetPyRad#
MetPyRad is an open source, GPLv3-licensed library providing a collection of tools for radionuclide metrology for the Python programming language.
MetPyRad allows processing measurements of a radionuclide using a Hidex 300 SL automatic liquid scintillator counter. It is designed to facilitate the handling, analysis, and visualization of measurement data.
Main features#
MetPyRad provides five main features for processing measurements of a radionuclide using a Hidex 300 SL automatic liquid scintillator counter:
Data parsing and processing: It includes tools to parse measurement data from CSV files, process different types of measurements (background, sample, net), and compile the results into comprehensive data structures.
Measurement summarization: It includes tools to generate detailed summaries of the measurements, including statistical analysis and cycle information.
Visualization: It includes plotting tools to visualize various quantities of the measurements, such as count rates, dead times, and uncertainties, making it easier to interpret the data.
Exporting results: It includes tools to export the processed data and visualizations to CSV and PNG files, for further analysis or reporting.
Comprehensive analysis: It supports end-to-end analysis workflows, from parsing raw data to generating summaries and visualizations, and saving the results.
