Tutorials¶
The suite's two halves — acquisition and analysis — each get their own end-to-end tutorial. Pick the one that matches what you're trying to do.
-
Acquisition tutorial
Configure an experiment, build a save element, and run your first NOSCAN and 1D scan with the Scanner GUI. Lands the data on disk.
-
Analysis tutorial
Build a per-camera analyzer config in ConfigFileGUI, add it to a group, run that group on a real scan via LiveWatch. Lands summary figures and (optionally) e-log uploads.
These two paths are independent — you don't need to do one to do the other. But the natural workflow is acquisition produces data that the analysis tutorial then processes, so they're laid out alongside each other rather than tucked away in their respective package tabs.
Which to start with¶
| If you're… | Start here |
|---|---|
| New to GEECS, running scans on the beamline | Acquisition |
| New to GEECS, processing data | Analysis |
| Already comfortable acquiring, learning analysis | Analysis |
| Already comfortable analysing, learning the scanner | Acquisition |
| Joining the team, not sure | Acquisition first, then Analysis |
After either tutorial, the per-package documentation (Scanner GUI, Image Analysis, Scan Analysis) covers the underlying concepts and APIs in depth.
