Description: Read Becker & Hickl SDT files
        =============================
        
        Sdtfile is a Python library to read SDT files produced by Becker & Hickl
        SPCM software. SDT files contain time correlated single photon counting
        instrumentation parameters and measurement data. Currently only the
        "Setup & Data", "DLL Data", and "FCS Data" formats are supported.
        
        `Becker & Hickl GmbH <http://www.becker-hickl.de/>`_ is a manufacturer of
        equipment for photon counting.

        Examples
        --------
        
        Read image and metadata from a SPC Setup & Data File:
        
        >>> sdt = SdtFile('image.sdt')
        >>> sdt.header.revision
        588
        >>> sdt.info.id[1:-1]
        'SPC Setup & Data File'
        >>> int(sdt.measure_info[0].scan_x)
        128
        >>> len(sdt.data)
        1
        >>> sdt.data[0].shape
        (128, 128, 256)
        >>> sdt.times[0].shape
        (256,)
        
        Read data and metadata from a SPC Setup & Data File with mutliple data sets:
        
        >>> sdt = SdtFile('fluorescein.sdt')
        >>> len(sdt.data)
        4
        >>> sdt.data[3].shape
        (1, 1024)
        >>> sdt.times[3].shape
        (1024,)
        
        Read data from a SPC FCS Data File as numpy array:
        
        >>> sdt = SdtFile('fcs.sdt')
        >>> sdt.info.id[1:-1]
        'SPC FCS Data File'
        >>> len(sdt.data)
        1
        >>> sdt.data[0].shape
        (512, 512, 256)
        >>> sdt.times[0].shape
        (256,)
