Plate Reader data Parser (and some analysis). To parse::

 1) **Tecan** data files, containing single fluorescence values  (scalar).
    Data are exported (from Tecan) into .xls file, then converted to csv
    (e.g. soffice --convert-to csv -outdir tmp *.xls).

    Each **Labelblock** contains 96 single (float) values,
    i.e. excitation emission filter-based fluorescence.

 2) **EnSpire** data files, containing spectra of various types e.g.
    excitation, emission, absorption and possibly at different temperatures.
    [Well, Sample,   MeasA:Result,   MeasA:WavelengthExc,  MeasA:WavelengthEms]

OOA
^^^

The program need to be able to:

  + *read* csv file(s) and an **experimental_note** file
  + *fill* **Data** into a list (DB in future?)
  + *group* **Data** into **Titration** (in which a single measurement_condition is changed)
  + *fit* **Titration** with the proper **Fitting_function** and obtain: fitting_params, fitting_quality.

.. note::
  Also a well may contain more than a single measure under the same
  measurement_conditions (ex400nm and ex485nm), which could be
  **fitted globally**. Temperature scan is when temperature in
  *measurement_conditions* is changed; here it might be necessary to correct
  pH_value accordingly (with temperature changes).

OOD

**Data** contains:

  + a (tuple) of values or a (tuple) of spectra
  + metadata describing the data type
  + measurement_conditions like pH_value, Cl_conc, temperature
  + sample_information like mutant_name, prep_id.

.. uml::

   class Data{
       + meas_conditions
       + sample_info
       + data_type
       + data: tuple
   }
   class meas_conditions {
       + ph
       + cl
       + temp
   }
   class sample_info {
       + mutant
       + prep ID
   }
