JETdsp is a tool which was designed to read in and plot PPF signals but it can also be used to view TRANSP data. JETdsp is described in full detail here. On this page we simply describe how to access TRANSP data.
In order to view TRANSP signals it is necessary to make a few changes to JETDSP's setup files.
Firstly, add the line 'USE_TRANSP 1' to the file '.jetdsprc' in your home directory. If this file does not exist, run JETDSP once to create it.
NB: Please ensure that this newly added line is not the first line in the file if you are using JETDSP release SU15651 or later.
Once this has been done an environment variable needs to be set up. On the bash shell type:
export TRANSP_RES_ROOT=/home/pshare/transp-data/transp/result/JET
For the csh shell and its derivatives, type:
setenv TRANSP_RES_ROOT /home/pshare/transp-data/transp/result/JET/
To check that this has worked correctly, type:
echo $TRANSP_RES_ROOT
Alternatively place the command in the file '.profile' or '.cshrc' to automatically set it when logging on.
To run JETdsp, log onto a JAC node and type jetdsp. From the file menu, select 'Read Signal'. This will bring up the box shown on the right.
Then select the top right radio button labelled 'TRANSP' to read in TRANSP data. Insert the shot number and TRANSP sequence number into the appropriate fields then click
on the 'Signal ...' button to list the output signals that can be read. These are divided into 1D and 2D signals which can be selected using the Function Type
drop down menu. Select the signals you wish to plot and click on the arrow pointing right. When all the signals you wish to plot are listed on the right hand side click OK
then click Read on the 'Read a Signal' window to read in the data. Plotting the data once it has been read in is the same as for PPF data and is decribed on the JETdsp
website above.
