Pegasus Toroidal Experiment
Pegasus is in the process of migrating to MDSplus as its primary data management system. We make heavy use of LabView and Igor Pro on the Macintosh platform as well. LabView support is currently limited in both ease of use and platform availability (i.e. Windows only). No support exists for Igor Pro in the current MDSplus distribution.
Therefore, a compatibility library, mdscwrap, has been written which wraps the provided MdsLib C entry points and provides an interface to LabView 8.0 on all supported operating systems: Windows, OS X, and Linux. An Igor Pro XOP which provides similar accessibility to MDSplus data is also available for Windows and OS X.
Features:
- Cross-platform LabView/Igor -- MDSplus interface
- C, LabView, Igor Signal data structures
- Simplified methods for reading/writing up to 8D Arrays and Signals
- Driver program demonstrating library use in C, LabView, Igor
Mdscwrap will be provided free to the community pending clearance from the University of Wisconsin. In the meantime, if you have interest in the software, please feel free to contact the author, Michael Bongard, at mbongard@wisc.edu.
