SpecGUI

the QUINDI HDF5 post-processor

SpecGUI is a Matlab script that provides a way to analyze QUINDI HDF5 output files.

- Requirements -

You need Matlab, obviously. SpecGUI was written in Matlab v14, but works in Matlab 2006 and is currently developed in Matlab 2007.
SpecGUI itself is made up of three files:

You must have all three in your current working directory.

- Usage -

SpecGUI is invoked by a command like this:

specgui('c:\mergedHDF5.h5')

Change the path to match your situation, and don't forget to use single quotes.

You will be presented with a screen like this:

By default, The 3D plot at the top represents the total integrated spectrum as seen by the detector, while the 2D plot at the bottom shows the intensity versus the frequency cuts integrated over the entire detector.
The Polarization radio box selects whether we are displaying the longitudinal or transverse polarization, or the total.
The Frequency slider can be used to show individual frequency slices of the integrated spectrum.
The Gridpoint slider can be used to show the spectrum of an individual gridpoint on the detector.
The Int. to ASCII button will create a file which is a matrix representation of the 3D graph.
The Int. to image button will bring up a seperate window with the total integrated spectrum alone, where you can save it in whatever format you please.
The Show Integration button will reset the 3D graph to show the integrated spectrum instead of a single slice.
The Slice to ASCII button will create a file which is a matrix representation of the current 3D slice being shown.
The Slice to image button will act like the Int. to image button, but only displays the current single slice.
The <- to ASCII button will dump the 2D spectrum plot to a text file.
The <- to image button will dump the 2D spectrum plot to a seperate window where it can be saved as an image.
The RESET button will bring everything back to it's default state.
