BLUE support now in sigmf-python v1.6+

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 or our API documentation.

If you are interested in contributing to the SigMF specification or language-specific implementation send me an email.
