PlasmaCalcs.hookups.eppic.eppic_io_tools.read_eppic_snaps_info

PlasmaCalcs.hookups.eppic.eppic_io_tools.read_eppic_snaps_info(dir='.', *, dt=None, snaps_from='parallel')

returns (snapnames, times).

Gets snapnames from files in ‘parallel’ directory.

E.g. parallel000073.h5 –> snapname ‘73’.

If no ‘parallel’ directory, returns ([], []).

dir: string (default ‘.’)

directory of ‘eppic.i’ file.

dt: None or value

the simulation time step; each snap’s time is equal to dt * (snap name)

if None, attempt to read ‘dt’ from eppic.i file.

snaps_from: ‘parallel’ or ‘timers’

where to get snapnames from.

parallel –> get from parallel directory.

timers –> get from timers.dat file.
