You should now be able to import the SMP class in a python interpreter or script using the following:

from snowmicrotoolset import SMP

Option B: Running the tool standalone

1. Create two folders indata and outdata in the same directory as snowmicrotoolset/__init__.py

2. Put the SMP measurement files (*.pnt) into the indata folder

3. Run the snowmicrotoolset.py script from the same directory where indata and outdata are located.

From Windows command line:
