Event browser for Xtc files
This page summarizes initial attempts at an event browser or simple plotting tool for Xtc files that should be easy to use.
Xtc file reader: xtcsummary.py
Text output listing the contents of an xtc file. Similar to pyxtcreader, but instead of listing all datagrams, it loops through and prints only a summary.
Usage:
xtcsummary.py <filename(s)>
XtcExplorer
LclsXtcEventBrowser.py
Analysis with pyana
Any serious data analysis will need more customized tools than we can provide in a GUI interface. This will require the user / analyst to program his/her own tools. Pyana is a complete framework for programming a user analysis in python. The Gui Event Browser can provide simple analysis code that can be expanded by the user. "Blank" analysis code can also be generated with the codegen
script (try codegen -h
and codegen -p
for options).
More information about pyana can be found on confluence.

channels is a 4xN array of floats, where N is the number of events. Each column corresponds to one out of four Ipimb channels. |
