Read fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) data files
===========================================================

Fcsfiles is a Python library to read Carl Zeiss(r) ConfoCor(r) RAW and ASCII
measurement data files.

:License: BSD 3-Clause
:Version: 2024.5.24

Quickstart
----------

Install the fcsfiles package and all dependencies from the
`Python Package Index `_::

python -m pip install -U fcsfiles

See `Examples`_ for using the programming interface.

Source code and support are available on
`GitHub `_.

The API is not stable yet and is expected to change between revisions.

This module does *not* read flow cytometry standard FCS files.

Examples
--------

Read the CountRateArray from a ConfoCor3 ASCII file as a numpy array:

.. code-block:: python

>>> fcs = ConfoCor3Fcs('ConfoCor3.fcs')
>>> fcs['FcsData']['FcsEntry'][0]['FcsDataSet']['CountRateArray'].shape
(60000, 2)
>>> print(fcs) # doctest: +ELLIPSIS, +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
Carl Zeiss ConfoCor3 - measurement data file - version 3.0 ANSI
BEGIN FcsData 30000
Name = Fluorescein
Comment =
AverageFlags = Repeat|Position|Average_Fit_Results
SortOrder = Channel-Repeat-Position-Kinetics
BEGIN FcsEntry1 10000
...

Read data and metadata from a ConfoCor3 RAW file:

.. code-block:: python

>>> fcs = ConfoCor3Raw('ConfoCor3.raw')
>>> fcs.filename
'f5ee4f36488fca2f89cb6b8626111006_R1_P1_K1_Ch1.raw'
>>> fcs.frequency
20000000
>>> times = fcs.asarray()
>>> times[10858]
1199925494
>>> times, bincounts = fcs.asarray(bins=1000)
>>> times.shape
(1000,)
>>> bincounts[618]
23
>>> fcs.close()

Read data and metadata from a ConfoCor2 RAW file:

.. code-block:: python

>>> fcs = ConfoCor2Raw('ConfoCor2.raw')
>>> fcs.frequency
20000000
>>> ch0, ch1 = fcs.asarray()
>>> ch1[4812432]
999999833
>>> times, ch0, ch1 = fcs.asarray(bins=1000)
>>> times.shape
(1000,)
>>> ch1[428]
10095
>>> fcs.close()
