EFITviewer LRDfits PyISOLVER

EFITviewer is now available for NSTX data (on Unix). LRDfits may also be plotted. PyISOLVER is a fast Python OOP implementation of LRDFIT model. See more information in link.

 
 
LOGBOOK

On UNIX, assuming you have "module load nstx", invoke IDL and:

       IDL> syb_entry

An on-line Logbook manual is available, as are PDF and Microsoft Word versions. Errors and questions should be directed to Stan Kaye.  There is also a Web version of the Logbook.

 
 
SCOPE

Sample Scope files can be found at (Unix) $NSTXUSR/util/scopes, or ask a user with interests similar to your's. jScope is a more modern version that does overlays, color plotting, etc. jScope has good a Help file. See jScope_PPPL_Linux.txt for local considerations. Here is a local jScope example.

UNIX initial setup::
% cp  $NSTXUSR/util/config/nedit.rc  ~/.nedit/nedit.rc
UNIX Invocation:

% nedit <filename> &
