Convert EDF files to HDF5#

Since Darfix 4.0, raw data needs to be supplied in HDF5. This means images stored in EDF need to be converted to HDF5 before we can load them in Darfix.

Conversion is handled by the utility silx convert from silx.

Note

silx should be installed with Darfix. If not, it can installed by running

pip install silx

To give an example of use of silx convert, we will consider that all the images are stored as EDF files in a folder my_edf_scan/.

To convert them, we can run

silx convert my_edf_scan/*.edf -o converted.h5

This will produce an HDF5 file called converted.h5 in the current folder. This file can then be loaded in Darfix.
