parsers are redundant with WrightTools

[ddkohler]

The /core/parsers module mostly deals with converting data files into WrightTools.Data objects. The WrightTools package maintains importers for this purpose.

Looking at the code there is a high degree of redundancy; the methods here should be merged into/replaced by WrightTools.
If WrightTools does not have the importer, there is a good motivation to put the importer into WrightTools itself.

• fromAndorNeo -> wrapper of WrightTools.data.from_Solis
• fromSP130 -> wrapper of WrightTools.data.from_spcm
• fromLabramHR -> wrapper of WrightTools.data.from_LabRAM
• migrate fromBruker (xrd) to WrightTools
• migrate fromGwiddeon (afm) to WrightTools

[ddkohler]

Altered importer function (perhaps with some bugs) that uses WrightTools and pretty faithfully keeps the original data structure:

import WrightTools as wt


def fromAndorNeo(fpath, name=None, lens='prompt'):
    """Create a data object from Andor Solis software (ascii exports).

    Parameters
    ----------
    fpath : path-like
        Path to file (should be .asc format).
        Can be either a local or remote file (http/ftp).
        Can be compressed with gz/bz2, decompression based on file name.
    name : string (optional)
        Name to give to the created data object. If None, filename is used.
        Default is None.

    Returns
    -------
    data
        New data object.
    """

    px_per_um = {
        '5x-Jin' : 0.893,
        '20x-Jin' : 3.52, 
        '100x-Wright' : 18.2,
        '5' : 0.893,
        '20' : 3.52,
        '100' : 18.2,
    }

    # parse filepath
    data:wt.Data = wt.from_Solis(fpath, name=name, verbose=True)
    data.rename_variables(xindex="x", yindex="y", wm="wl")

    if lens=='prompt':
        lens = input(f'enter magnification for data at {name}: ')
    for var in (("x", "y") and data.variable_names):
        if lens:
            data[var] /= px_per_um[str(lens)]
            data[var].units = 'µm'
        else:
            data[var].units = "px"

    dtype = "image" if "x" in data.variable_names else "spectralprofile"
    data.attrs.update(dtype=dtype)

    if "wl" in data.variable_names:
        data["wl"].attrs['label'] = "wavelength (nm)" if data["wl"].units == "nm" else "wavenumber (cm-1)"

    if data.signal.units = "Hz"
        data.signal.units = "intensity (cps)"
    else:
        data.signal.units = "counts"

    return data

so simple wrappers adding attrs or changing names/labels should suffice. It seems like this or similar is all that is needed for Andor, LabRAM, and spcm, since these importers are already defined in WrightTools
