As some of the SDR community are still using MIDAS/PLATINUM Blue recordings
(commonly .cdif) we have just added support to sigmf-python to read and/or
convert these files.
After installing sigmf-python v1.6+ (pip install sigmf) you can now do:
import sigmf
meta = sigmf.fromfile('record.cdif')
# access samples
meta[0:100]
# access metadata
meta.sample_rate
# access BLUE fields
Meta.get_global_field("blue:fixed")
There is also a command-line converter:
sigmf_convert record.cdif converted.sigmf
For more information see the GitHub release
page<https://github.com/sigmf/sigmf-python/releases/tag/v1.6.1> or our API
documentation<https://sigmf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>.
If you are interested in contributing to the SigMF specification or
language-specific implementation send me an email.
