This site documents the usage of "psana python", which is software that can be used to analyze LCLS data.  Using relatively simple python code, it is possible to analyze LCLS data in parallel on hundreds of CPU cores, both offline and in real-time while data is being taken. NOTE: the graphical LCLS analysis tool AMI is used for many routine real-time monitoring plots.  psana-python is typically used for real-time analysis that cannot be done in AMI and for offline analysis.
