HDF_average: plot average raw data and spectrum of all records

Interactive tool, to show the averages of all records of an HDF file.

When it is an x-ray file with pulses, only single pulses are selelected which are above a threshold. Pulse position is not taken into account.

When it is a noise file, only the fraction (default 0.25) with lowest signal is taken into account.

This script will show results both in an interactive plot window, so the user can zoom in on details, and in a pdf output for printing.

usage:

usage: HDF_average.py [-h] [-ch CHANNEL] [-f FREQUENCY] [--nfrac NFRAC]
                   [--pthresh PTHRESH] [--noq] [-v] [-a] [--file FILE]

Show averaged pulse or noise data record or spectrum

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -ch CHANNEL, --channel CHANNEL
                        Channel number to use. Default is first available
                        channel.
  -f FREQUENCY, --frequency FREQUENCY
                        Frequency number (pixel) to use. Default is first
                        available frequency.
  --nfrac NFRAC         Fraction of lowest intensity data to take for noise
                        spectra
  --pthresh PTHRESH     Threshold for detecting pulses
  --noq                 Do not plot Q-signals
  -v, --volts           Convert output values to Volts
  -a, --ampphase        Output amplitude and phase for average pulse
  -o, --output          Write ASCII output files of results
  --file FILE           HDF5 input file to use. When not provided, user can
                        select the file interactively
