SNAP is a neutron time-of-flight diffractometer at the Spallation Neutron Source operated by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. It generates large arrays of neutron detection events that encode the crystalline atomic structure of materials under study. SNAPRed is an application that makes these datasets accessible to end users by orchestrating the process of data reduction while automatically managing the variable neutron instrumentation configuration. It supports arbitrary grouping and masking of individual detector pixels and includes custom-developed data compression approaches to accommodate the large volumes of data generated by the SNAP instrument.
