First case study;

Eclipse Scanning (Used in GDA9 @ Diamond Light Source)

January is used throughout the scanning project, inside the scan algorithm, when talking to devices and plotting results. The lazy writable dataset object is used to abstract the writing of data to devices used in the scan algorithms. This process ensures that valid NeXus files are written by scanning which can be data processed correctly. January is used in the scan path generation layer in place of numpy for the Jython routines. This allows the same code to generate scan paths in the RCP user interface as is used on python middle-ware servers controlling hardware. January is used extensively in the plotting. We adopted the DAWNSci plotting for visualizing the scan paths and on our cluster for online data analysis. DAWNSci plotting uses January to define the data which is to be plotted and online data analysis uses the lazy datasets to process data as it is written.
