DPDAK - Directly Programmable Data Analysis Kit

DPDAK is an open source (GPL) tool developed for (online) analysis of large sequences of small angle scattering data - but can be used for other data as well. It is written in Python and runs on Windows and Linux. The development is a cooperation between DESY and MPIKG.

The plugins ImageIntegration1d, ImageIntegrationSubBG and SAXS/WAXS calibration use algorithms from the pyFAI package by Jerome Kieffer (ESRF). The plugin ImageIntegrationSubBG (Fit2D) uses Fit2D software developed by Dr. Andy Hammersley (ESRF).

The latest release is 1.4.2:

• Because of memory error in python pyFAI module (since version 0.11.0) for 32-bit machine, we release only 64-bit version.

• Windows version:

                 Download Windows version as zip-file: dpdak_win64bit_v1_4_2.zip

                 Download Windows version as zip-file: dpdak_win64bit_v1_4_2.7z

• Linux version:
  
  • for Debian 8 and 9 as zip-file dpdak_Linux_v1_4_2_for_Debian_8_9.zip
  • for Debian 10 as zip-file dpdak_Linux_v1_4_2_for_Debian_10.zip

For changes with respect to the previous version v1.4.1, please read the Release Notes v1.4.2.
