FdCurve

lumicks.pylake.fdcurve.FdCurve

class FdCurve(file, start, stop, name, force='2', distance='1')

An FD curve exported from Bluelake

By default, the primary force and distance channels are downsampled_force2 and distance1. Alternatives can be selected using FdCurve.with_channels(). Note that it does not modify the FD curve in place but returns a copy.

file

The parent file. Used to look up channel data.

Type

lumicks.pylake.File

start, stop

The time range (ns) of this FD curve within the file.

Type

int

name

The name of this FD curve as it appeared in the timeline.

Type

str

plot_scatter(**kwargs)

Plot the FD curve points

Parameters

**kwargs – Forwarded to matplotlib.pyplot.scatter().

with_baseline_corrected_x()

Return a copy of this F,d curve with baseline correction applied to force channel. Note: only the x component is available with baseline correction. Note: All previous data manipulations (eg. subtraction of another curve) will be lost.

with_channels(force, distance)

Return a copy of this FD curve with difference primary force and distance channels

with_offset(force_offset=0, distance_offset=0)

Add a constant force offset from the force data in this F,d curve. Note that points where the distance is defined as zero are ignored and that subtracting a distance offset bigger than the minimum distance in the F,d curve will result in an error.

Parameters

• force_offset (float) –

• distance_offset (float) –

property d

The primary distance channel associated with this FD curve

property f

The primary force channel associated with this FD curve
