Looking at TRANSP Data

On the ElVis toolbar, go to Desktop --> Linear MHD...

This will bring up the Lmhd graphical interface window.  It is currently under development.

In the section titled Data Source, select the tab for TRANSP run.
Retrieval is currently limited to TRANSP runs based on NSTX shots.
Enter the Run ID number, the Time, and the Time Average.  Example values are:
Run ID:  108730a83
Time:      .3
Avg:       .02

Click on Retrieve.  After a few seconds a new graph window will be displayed for the corresponding Plasma State netCDF file.  A template for 6 graphs is automatically supplied.  Typically there are about 270 variables in the Plasma State file.

The retrieved data is stored in a project directory named /p/fgweb/lmhd/el_username/run_number.  The exact directory name is shown as the Next Run ID in the Lmhd interface window.  Each PPL user has an el_ "shadow" account for running the web services.
