Rust ABF Reader

This is a Rust project that provides a fast and memory-efficient way to read ABF (Axon Binary Format) files commonly used in electrophysiology.

Features

• Fast Reading: Utilizes optimized algorithms for quick ABF file parsing.
• Low Memory Footprint: Minimizes memory usage while processing large ABF files.
• Minimal Dependencies: Strives to keep dependencies lightweight.
• Easy to Use: Provides a simple API for reading ABF files.

Usage

1. Install Rust and Cargo if you haven't already.

2. Add this library to your Cargo.toml:

   toml [dependencies] rust-abf-reader = "0.1.1"

3. In your Rust code:

   ```rust use rust_abf::AbfBuilder;

   fn main() { let abf = AbfBuilder::fromfile("path/to/your/file.abf"); match abf { Ok(abf) => { let channelscount = abf.getchannelscount(); let sweepscount = abf.getsweepscount(); println!("There are {:?} channels and {:?} sweeps", channelscount, sweepscount); (0..channelscount).foreach(|ch| { (0..sweepscount).foreach(|s|{ let data = abf.getsweepinchannel( s, ch).unwrap(); println!("First 10 elements from ch {:?} and sweep {:?}: {:?}", ch, s, &data[0..10]); }); }); }, _ => println!("File not found"), } } ```
