Analysis code can be downloaded from https://github.com/ridatta/MARZ_Analysis_Tools.git 

Diagnostics details are in Webb, Timothy Jay, et al. Review of Scientific Instruments 94.3 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0123448

The diagnostics in MARZ include:

(1) B-Dots/ Inductive Probes.

Data from each probe is stored as .CSV files. 

(2) Visible Spectroscopy (SVS)

Data is stored in HDF files. For pre-processing, we need shot data, as well as calibration data, which includes pre-shot laser images, LDLS fast and slow images, and Tungsten lamp images. 

(3) XRS3 (X Ray Spectroscopy)

Data is stored in TIFF files. 

(4) Ultra-Fast X Ray Pinhole Cameras

Data is stored in TIFF files. 

(5) Self Emission Gated Optical Imager (SEGOI)

SEGOI outputs 2D time-resolved optical emission data, and 1-D space- and time-resolved streak image data, stored in HDF5 format.

(6) X Ray Diodes (TADPoles and LOS 170 Silicon Diodes)

Data is stored in CSV files.
