The intention of this Python program is to perform the initial analysis on VSM "Quantum Design File Types" (with .md extension) files from the Physical Property Measurement System.
The functions used in the project are separated into different modules:
.
└── project/
├── main.py
├── modules/
│ ├── read_in.py
│ ├── prep.py
│ ├── plot.py
│ └── save.py
├── PdCorrection tables
└── ...
and are used in the main.py file as a linear program to perform the following blocks of tasks:
- Read in the raw data.
- Prepare the data for ploting and saving (for further analysis in Origin for example).
- Plot the measurement data into Moment vs Temperature/Moment vs Magnetic Field Strength plots with an additional timeseries plot of the measurement.
| MvsT sample | MvsH sample |
|---|---|
![]() |
![]() |
| Timeseries sample |
|---|
![]() |
- Saves the plots and parameters from each individual measurement into a
.csvfile that's located in the same folder as the input file on your computer.
