zs2decode

#########

zs2decode is a Python (2.7, 3.4 - current) implementation of a

decoder for Zwick ``zs2`` files.

``zs2`` files contain measurements and meta data. zs2decode is able to

parse these files. It contains support functions to output the result as

text file or XML for further processing.

The following script converts a ``zs2`` file into XML::

    import zs2decode.parser

    import zs2decode.util

    zs2_file_name = 'my_data_file.zs2'

    xml_output_file = 'my_data_file.xml'

    # load and decompress file

    data_stream = zs2decode.parser.load(zs2_file_name)

    # separate binary data stream into chunks

    raw_chunks = zs2decode.parser.data_stream_to_chunks(data_stream)

    # convert binary chunk data into lists of Python objects

    chunks = zs2decode.parser.parse_chunks(raw_chunks)

    # output as text file

    with open(xml_output_file, 'wb') as f:

        f.write( zs2decode.util.chunks_to_XML(chunks) )

An example script to extract measurement time series from the XML is

provided in the ``examples`` folder.
