Hello all,

TL;DR

I made a Python package that allows Lifespec .FL files to be parsed. It also installs a command line tool for converting .FL files .csv.

You can find it here: https://pypi.org/project/lifespec-fl/

We use a Lifespec machine in our lab to perform TRPL and other measurements. It appeared that the only way to save the data from the .FL format was to manually use their F980 software to convert each file manually. This became tedious so I created a Python package and command line tool for converting them.

The Python package uses another package called `parse_binary_file` to parse the .FL file. You can then load the data from the .FL file directly into your Python script for analysis.

The command line tool is installed when you install the package. It converts .FL files to .csv, and can do it in batch with several options on how to output the data.

I thought this may be a useful tool for others, so wanted to share here. If you have any questions or comments the best place to post them is on the Issues page of the project's GitHub repo (https://github.com/bicarlsen/lifespec_fl/issues)
