Further analysis with pyana

Running pyana without the XtcExplorer

Any serious data analysis will need more customized tools than we can provide in this general GUI interface.

Submitting to batch

Once you've identified the command line to run your pyana job, you can submit this to the LFS batch queue system as described in Computing.

Be aware that the pyana scripts used by the explorer use matplotlib QtAgg backend to display plots, and this will fail if you submit it to batch processing. While I look for a better solution, you can do the following to work around this problem:

• Configure pyana to plot as little as possible by setting the display mode to NoDisplay
• Add the following two lines to XtcExplorer/src/utilities.py :

  import matplotlib
  matplotlib.use('PDF')
