Python tools to read/write Digital RF data in HDF5 format

The Digital RF project encompasses a standardized HDF5 format for reading and writing of radio frequency data and the software for doing so. The format is designed to be self-documenting for data archive and to allow rapid random access for data processing.

This package includes:

• digital_rf Python package

• Tools for managing and processing Digital RF data

• gr_digital_rf Python package for interfacing with GNU Radio

• GNU Radio Companion blocks

• thor UHD radio recorder script

• Example scripts and applications

Digital RF C and MATLAB libraries can be found at the official source code repository. To build from source, you must have the HDF5 library and headers installed.

For help and/or questions, contact the user mailing list.

Example Usage

The following code will load and read data located in a directory ‘/data/test’.

Load the module and create a reader object:

import digital_rf as drf
do = drf.DigitalRFReader('/data/test')

List channels:

do.get_channels()

Get data bounds for channel ‘cha’:

s, e = do.get_bounds('cha')

Read first 10 samples from channel ‘cha’:

data = do.read_vector(s, 10, 'cha')
