Abstract
National user facilities such as the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) require a significant base of software to treat the data produced by their specialized measurement instruments. There is no universally accepted and used data treatment package for the reduction, visualization, and analysis of inelastic neutron scattering data. However, we believe that the software development approach adopted at the NCNR has some key characteristics that have resulted in a successful software package called DAVE (the Data Analysis and Visualization Environment). It is developed using a high level scientific programming language, and it has been widely adopted in the United States and abroad. In this paper we describe the development approach, elements of the DAVE software suite, its usage and impact, and future directions and opportunities for development.
NIST 中子研究中心(NCNR)等国家用户设施需要大量软件来处理其专用测量仪器产生的数据。对于非弹性中子散射数据的还原、可视化和分析,目前还没有一个普遍接受和使用的数据处理软件包。不过,我们认为国家中子研究中心采用的软件开发方法具有一些关键特征,从而成功开发了名为 DAVE(数据分析和可视化环境)的软件包。该软件包使用高级科学编程语言开发,已在美国和国外广泛采用。在本文中,我们将介绍 DAVE 软件包的开发方法、要素、使用情况和影响,以及未来的发展方向和机会。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology is the flagship publication of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. It has been published under various titles and forms since 1904, with its roots as Scientific Papers issued as the Bulletin of the Bureau of Standards.
In 1928, the Scientific Papers were combined with Technologic Papers, which reported results of investigations of material and methods of testing. This new publication was titled the Bureau of Standards Journal of Research.
The Journal of Research of NIST reports NIST research and development in metrology and related fields of physical science, engineering, applied mathematics, statistics, biotechnology, information technology.
