In an effort to create a set of simple tools that are useful for data processing and realtime analysis of data we’ve been exploring a range of tools. Granted there are a number of canned solutions in existence (e.g. National Instruments), however, to avoid the long-term challenges of compatibility we are looking for tools that can better serve our research goals. Two packages that we’ve began to lean more heavily upon include pyqtgraph and guidata. Both use PyQt4 and are compatible with Pyside for GUI rendering and construction. Matplotlib is quite mature but it has been our experience that pyqtgraph is quite a bit faster for plotting data in realtime.
The code below integrates pyqtgraph directly into the guidata framework. This is not a huge stretch as the pyqtgraph widgets integrate directly with the QWidget class in PyQt4. For those looking for an example the following code illustrate very simply how to integrate one of these plots and update it using simulated data along with the ability to alter the smoothing parameters of the raw data on the fly. One might envision the use of this approach to capture data from a streaming device (more on that later). It should be noted that the file loading feature has been disabled but it would’t be a huge stretch to re-enable this functionality for single spectra.
