Experimental data structure

[fabiques]

I have some ideas on how to manage the data we retrieve from experiments we run in qililab.

I divide the data into 3 different types:

• Meta data: information about the experiment. It will contain similar information to the runcards + loops and other necessary information.
• Raw data. This is just a long array with all the results. In the case of spectroscopy I think of it as a csv with two columns corresponding to I and Q.
• Data. This is data stored in tensors. This will have the x, y, z axis of the experiment. If we are measuring spectroscopy this could store the frequency, the flux bias and the S21 parameter.

Meta data is created before the experiment is run. The raw data file is stored during the experiment and the Data is created after everything is done.

In this case there should be a set of functions, which take the raw_data and the meta_data and create the data.

data = create_data_file(meta_data, raw_data)
