Export binned time trace

[DanielisRutkauskas]

Is there a way to export a binned time trace?

It is a matter of getting the timestamps that you need and then creating histogram using standard numpy np.histogram. The result is an array of counts that you can save to disk in many ways, for example using np.savetxt.

The only FRETBursts specific part is getting the timestamps. The options

• Data.ph_times_m[0] to get all the timestamps
• Data.get_ph_times() to get timestamps for specific photon streams
• Data.ph_in_bursts_ich() to get only timestamps inside bursts

EDIT: You can also export a DataFrame of photons in bursts with bext.burst_photon() (added in FRETBursts master, or v0.6.6). Usage example in Example - Exporting Burst Data Including Timestamps.ipynb
