Arbin schedule file automation from CSV

Peter Attia, 2018-2019

This code generates both "schedule files" and "batch files" for Arbin LBT battery cyclers using human-readable input.

• "Schedule files" (.sdu) are files that define a specific test sequence (i.e. a charging protocols, plus additional steps like discharging, rests, etc)
• "Batch files" (.bth) are files that map schedule files to channels (i.e. mapping experiments to batteries)

This repository has two main scripts:

• automate_4step.py creates 4-step (really 6-step) charging protocols based on a csv like policies_all.csv
• automate_batchfile.py randomly assigns charging policies from files like these to schedule files

Both of these scripts simply load in a template .sdu or .bth file and replace the appropriate text. The resulting schedule files are available in the "OED schedule files" directory.
