plottr

A simple GUI tool for plotting measurement data (e.g., for live plotting). It runs as a standalone server, and data can be sent to it via a network socket, which makes it fairly independent of the tools used to measure.

There's little documentation at this point, but there is a list of examples in the notebooks in the doc/ folder.

(live) plotting

Basic usage:

• run the standalone program plottr.py (e.g. through the .bat file)
• In your working process (i.e., ipython session, jupyter notebook, ...) use one of the client tools to package the data correctly (or do it yourself) and send it (see examples!).
• If you're using qcodes with the dataset v2, there's also a subscriber that you can use with the dataset (examples!)

dataset inspection

you can use the inspectr tool to get a simple overview over qcodes database files. Usage:

• drag and drop a .db file into the main window after launching
• if plottr is running, a double click on a dataset row will send the data to plottr where it's visualized.

requirements:

• python >= 3.6 (f-strings...)
• the usual: numpy, mpl, ...
• pandas >= 0.22
• xarray
