arlpy 1.3

ARL Python Tools

Packages such as numpy and scipy provide excellent mathematical tools for scientists and engineers using Python. However, these packages are still young and evolving, and understandably have some gaps, especially when it comes to domain-specific requirements. The arlpy package aims to fill in some of the gaps in the areas of underwater acoustics, signal processing, and communication.

General modules

The following modules are general and are likely to be of interest to researchers and developers working on signal processing, communication and underwater acoustics:

• Signal processing (arlpy.signal)

• Communications (arlpy.comms)

• Geographical coordinates (arlpy.geo)

• Underwater acoustics (arlpy.uwa)

• Common utilities (arlpy.utils)

Special-purpose modules

The following modules are specific to tools available at the ARL and may not be of general interest to others:

• Digital Towed Array (arlpy.dtla)

• HiDAQ (arlpy.hidaq)

Usage

Installation:

pip install arlpy

To import all general modules:

import arlpy
