Next-generation NDS time series plotting
Project description
Next-generation NDS oscilloscope
ndscope is a tool for viewing time series data from the LIGO Network
Data Services (NDS). Based on
nds2-client and the
high-performance pyqtgraph plotting library,
ndscope is a able to plot both online and offline data for many
channels simultaneously with intuitive mouse pan/zoom support.
Features:
- online mode for raw and trend data
- mouse pan and zoom, with background auto-fetch of new data
- automatic transition to second/minute trend data at appropriate zoom levels
- triggering, for true oscilloscope behavior
- cursors and crosshair in both time and Y axes
- save layout templates in easy-to-use YAML format
- load templates from various legacy formats, including StripTool .stp, dataviewer .xml, and .txt
- enhanced "StripTool mode" with auto-backfill of past data
- NDS2 and NDS1 protocol support
- channel selection GUI
Left mouse click+drag for pan, and right mouse click+drag for zoom (left/right for in/out in time, and up/down for in/out in Y). Click+drag on axis to retrict pan/zoom to only that dimension.
