Saving a patch in NEUBREXRFS format raises NotImplementedError

[danilodjor]

Description

When loading an H5 file, it generates a patch with attributes of type NeubrexRFSPatchAttrs. After processing the DAS file, I attempt to save the file using the following method:

patch.io.write('save_file.h5', file_format="NEUBREXRFS").

However, this raises an error: NotImplementedError: FiberIO: NeubrexRFS has no write method.
I would like to know how to process a DAS patch and save it in the exact same format in which it was loaded.

Example

Here is an example that reproduces the issue:

import dascore as dc

patch = dc.spool("input_file.h5")[0]
patch = patch.decimate(time=2)
patch.io.write("test.h5", file_format="NEUBREXRFS")

Expected behavior

The expected behavior is that the file should be saved in the exact same format that it was loaded.

Versions

• OS: macOS Sequoia 15.1.1
• DasCore Version: 0.1.5
• Python Version: 3.12.2

Hey @danilodjor, For DASCore IO, we prioritize providing read support for a wide range of formats so more users can use the software. While we do offer write support for some formats (listed here), it is not yet universal across all supported formats, including NeubrexRFS. We plan to add write support for other formats as we get requests from the users, so we will keep this on our radar. In the meantime, you can write in supported formats such as "DASDAE" or "SEGY," so you can read the processed data using DASCore as well.

Also, check out this documentation on implementing a new IO format in DASCore here. Let us know if you are interested in working on adding write support for NeubrexRFS so we address questions you may have on your first PR.
