Pygolem toolkit

Pygolem is software developed for the tokamak GOLEM database. It provides easy options for loading and saving of data, plotting and advanced data processing. Pygolem is written in Python, however our implementation strongly depends on bash scripts and makefiles.

Use code previews in the GOLEM database for more examples

Use pygolem web interface

If you need to download data from many shots, the simplest way is to use pygolem web interface. You have to know names of your diagnostics (see the Data page) and you can either use the links provided by the Data page or if you prefer another data formats use following path

http://golem.fjfi.cvut.cz/cgi-bin/data/12345/<your diagn name>_<options>.<format>

supported formats are

None Ordinary TAB separated ASCII format
.txt Ordinary TAB separated ASCII format
.gz Zip compressed ordinary TAB separated ASCII format
.csv Comma / semicolon separated ASCII values
.npy Standard python binary data
.npz Compressed python binary data (recommended)
.mat Matlab binary data
.xls Excel 97 format
image Supported formats: png, svg, svgz, pdf
.link return a http link to the stored data
.pro IDL - not supported, use .mat files (load_mat.pro)

for the ASCII formats you can select if you prefer dots/commas decimal separators

_dp Dots point separators, selected as default !!
_cp Comma points separator

Examples:
http://golem.fjfi.cvut.cz/cgi-bin/data/0/loop_voltage - returns simple ASCII data
http://golem.fjfi.cvut.cz/cgi-bin/data/0/loop_voltage.npz - returns compressed loop voltage data
http://golem.fjfi.cvut.cz/cgi-bin/data/0/loop_voltage.csv- comma separated csv - “czech excel”
http://golem.fjfi.cvut.cz/cgi-bin/data/0/loop_voltage.xls - Excel/OO Calc/Gnumeric
http://golem.fjfi.cvut.cz/cgi-bin/data/0/loop_voltage.png - A simple plot of the data

Load data in your page

use code i.e for loop voltage

and you will download data for shot number where is currently placed your script otherwise use

if you want to download data from DAS “nistandard”:

if you need only one channel you can use either number or channel id

full list of accessible signal is in golem.fjfi.cvut.cz/shots/0/Data.php
Is is also possible to use wget and pygolem web interface. See more examples in section Advanced examples.

Add data from your folder or new DAS to database

All data settings can be done in
/golem/database/velin/includes/data_configuration.cfg and DAS is in /golem/database/velin/includes/das_configuration.cfg

Use the examples to add new diagnostics. Supported data formats are: npy, npz, None, gz, txt, csv, lvm, you do not need to add the file ending to the config.

Plot data using includes modules (keep the style)

Recommended way: find a page with similar plot and use copy&paste
You can use ie. matplotlib, gnuplot, octave, …

Write a python template

Read manual http://www.makotemplates.org/ , or just copy&paste the code from existing pages - for example DAS or Plasma Position pages
PS: use ## if you want to comment a code outside of code block “<% your code %>”

Sign if your page failed or not ( ✓, ✕, ?)

Write nonzero to status file in your folder if you failed

or if the active code is in the python template

Failure - &#10005; - is expected as default

Integrate your data to pygolem

If you want to share your results with others, it is recommended to add your results to pygolem.
Add your results to /golem/database/velin/includes/data_configuration.cfg in include directory. You can show accessible data in your .template page with the following code:

Load basic constants / settings

If you need to load basic calibration constants, use:

The config from the last shot is available here: config.py

Advanced examples

if you need more options, you can use more functions of the class Data (derived from ndarray):

Another example for 2D plotting

for more plotting examples use tutorial

Use of integrated plotting functions

Our framework contains interface for uniform standard plots that can be simply used. Plotting is done using two basic functions get_data and multiplot. The simplest example:

Example plot: Loop voltage
Example plot: Loop voltage

where get_data supports several options how to load data : - input is name from pygolem database ie ‘loop_voltage’, then details are loaded from database - input is path to file in a standard format (ascii matrix or preferably data saved using save_adv - see pygolem.py), note that more additional details should be added to get_data function - - list containing [tvec, data] - Data object

Outputs from get_data can be arranged in list so select order in subplots. For example [obj1, [obj2, obj3]] will create 2 subplots, the first contains obj1, the second obj2+obj3.

Notes:

  • Shot number is auto-detected from current directory
  • default image format is png
  • default xlabel is “Time [ms]’ => time axis is rescaled to”ms"

Pygolem files

pygolem_lite.py

A basic module, it provides class Shot that can easily load data from the shot database [link] . An example of use:
