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.

    Acquisition tutorial

  • 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.

    Analysis tutorial

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.
