CHARICE is a multi-platform computer application that analyzes velocity waveform data from ramp-wave experiments to determine a material's quasi-isentropic loading response in stress and density using an iterative characteristics-based approach. The application was built using ITT Visual Information Solutions Interactive Data Language (IDL{reg_sign}), and features graphical interfaces for all user interaction. This report describes the calculation method and available analysis options, and gives instructions for using the application.
