Different backends for inspectr #60

Open peendebak opened 5 years ago

peendebak commented 5 years ago

The current backend for inspectr is the qcodes database format. We would like to use other sources of datasets as well. Can the plottr\apps\apps\inspectr.py be updates so that the inspectr code is separated from the qcodes database backend and it is better documented what would have to be implemented to create a new backend?

Hi Peter, sorry for the delay, i just got back from vacation -- this is an excellent suggestion! i was thinking of implementing something like this actually for spyview files in folders. Let me think a few days about how to move forward with this. inspectr is at the moment a somewhat poorly documented convenience tool, but I should clean this up a little. I'll get back to you!

@peendebak Hi Pieter -- i was pretty busy during the summer with other stuff, but i'd like to pick this up again soon. For the purpose of just the plotting i've implemented a new backend (plottr.data.datadict_storage), but for inspectr i need some more information i think. I'll send you a separate email.
