Visualizing your inputs can be done by executing plot_inputs found in lib/scripts/
Depending on what you wish to plot, your inputs, geometry, equilibrium and/or distribution files will need to be located in the same folder. Below are brief descriptions and examples of what the script can currently handle:
To plot all of your inputs, simply indicate the directory and run ID.
plot_inputs /p/fida/lstagner/TEST/ test_1a
To plot only the beam and diagnostic geometry, append the optional argument -g
plot_inputs /p/fida/lstagner/TEST/ test_1a -g
In a similar fashion, append -p, -f and/or -d to plot the plasma, fields and/or distribution function inputs, respectively.
If you are plotting many FIDA or NPA line of sights, then it might be beneficial for you to append -l to remove the legend from the 3D plot.
If you wish to plot lineouts on your figures, simply indicate the value and dimension you want to cut through. For example, if you are interested in seeing what the plasma lineout looks like at R = 170 cm along the z axis, execute the following command
plot_inputs /p/fida/lstagner/TEST/ test_1a -p -rz 170
There are many more possible lineouts that can be viewed, so run plot_inputs -h to look at the help documentation.
Visualizing your outputs can be done by executing plot_outputs found in lib/scripts/
Plotting data from your spectra or npa files, and printing the neutron rate can be done in various ways. Let's start with the easiest method first. Assuming all of your output files are located in the same folder, the following command will search that folder for all run IDs present. Then, it will plot all of the spectra and npa data for each run ID on every FIDA and NPA channel. Furthermore, it will also print out the neutron rate.
plot_outputs -d /p/fida/lstagner/TEST/ -s -as -n -an
If you are interested in only one shot, e.g. test_1a, add -r test_1a to your command.
Let's now consider a more specific example. What if your files are scattered around in different folders? What if you are only interested in the active FIDA emission? What if you only want to view channels 1 and 3? The example below does this for two different files located in different folders.
plot_outputs -p /p/fida/lstagner/TEST/test_1a_spectra.h5 /different_path/test_2a_spectra.h5 -f -ls 1 3
Now that you have a grasp on how the script works, take a look at the help documentation plot_outputs -h to see what else the code is capable of.
