create_measurement_dir

specatalog.data_management.measurement_management.create_measurement_dir(base_dir, ms_id)[source]

Create a new directory for a single measurement with the measurement-ID ms_id in the folder of the archive (base_dir). Directory and subdirectories are created as well as a hdf5-file for saving the data of the measurement. The hdf5-file has three groups: “raw_data”, “corrected_data” and “evaluations”.

The structure is as follows:

base_dir/
├── data/
│   ├── M1/
│   ├── M2/
│   ├── M3/
│   ├── ...
│   └── M{ms_id}/
│       ├── additional_info/
│       ├── figures/
│       ├── literature/
│       ├── raw/
│       ├── scripts/
│       └── measurement_M{ms_id}.h5
│
└── <other directories of the archive>

Parameters:

base_dir (str) – Path to the root-folder of the archive.
ms_id (int) – Number of the measurement.

Raises:

FileExistsError – An error is raised if the measurement directory already exists.

Returns:

path – Absolute path to the new measurement directory.

Return type:

Path
