What is JAS3?
Java Analysis Studio or "JAS" (pronounced like "jazz") is a "studio" (GUI) application that is built upon the Java programming language. It has an integrated compiler and class loader and can load and compile user Java programs on-the-fly.

It implements the Abstract Intefaces for Data Analysis for plotting and has a built-in WIRED4 event display.
