Title: Tof-vis, software for interactive exploration of time-of-flight data.

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7850

TOF-VIS, Software for Interactive Exploration of Time-of-Flight Data TOF-VIS is a fast, highly interactive program for examining time-of-flight neutron scattering data. All spectra from an experiment are displayed simultaneously as an image. The data can be displayed in terms of time-of-flight, energy, wave-vector, or lattice spacing. TOF-VIS has beer? used for examining data from IPNS and ISIS, and has been useful for diagnosing problems with instruments and detectors as well as for making a quick evaluation of the quality of the data. Hard copy output to a variety of devices using routines built on PGPLOT is now available. TOF-VIS is portable to VMS and UNIX, and is currently implemented primarily using object-based methods in This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the US Government.

The TOF-VIS main or ''image'' view shows the set of spectra as an image in which rows of the image correspond to spectra from different detectors ordered by detector number or by detector as graphs in the other views. The values of the time, energy, wave-vector, lattice spacing and ''Q'' split into three levels: an interface layer, a translation layer, and an application layer. The interface The heart of the application layer is the concept of a spectrum ''object''. Each spectrum is an instance of a spectrum object.
