Read Becker & Hickl SDT files
=============================
Sdtfile is a Python library to read SDT files produced by Becker & Hickl
SPCM software. SDT files contain time correlated single photon counting
instrumentation parameters and measurement data. Currently only the
"Setup & Data", "DLL Data", and "FCS Data" formats are supported.
`Becker & Hickl GmbH <http://www.becker-hickl.de/>`_ is a manufacturer of
equipment for photon counting.

Examples
--------
Read image and metadata from a "SPC Setup & Data File":
>>> sdt = SdtFile('image.sdt')
>>> int(sdt.header.revision)
588
>>> sdt.info.id[1:-1]
'SPC Setup & Data File'
>>> int(sdt.measure_info[0].scan_x[0])
128
>>> len(sdt.data)
1
>>> sdt.data[0].shape
(128, 128, 256)
>>> sdt.times[0].shape
(256,)
Read data and metadata from a "SPC Setup & Data File" with multiple data sets:
>>> sdt = SdtFile('fluorescein.sdt')
>>> len(sdt.data)
4
>>> sdt.data[3].shape
(1, 1024)
>>> sdt.times[3].shape
(1024,)
Read image data from a "SPC FCS Data File" as numpy array:
>>> sdt = SdtFile('fcs.sdt')
>>> sdt.info.id[1:-1]
'SPC FCS Data File'
>>> len(sdt.data)
1
>>> sdt.data[0].shape
(512, 512, 256)
>>> sdt.times[0].shape
(256,)
