Short Description

Run the SCOTTY 3D beam-tracing code

Keywords

Beam Tracing, DBS, Synthetic Diagnostics

Long Description

This module generates inputs for, runs, and analyzes the output of the SCOTTY 3D beam-tracing code. SCOTTY is a python code written by V.H. Hall-Chen to be used for synthetic diagnostic development for microwave scattering diagnostics such as Doppler Back-Scattering (DBS).

Typical workflows

This module is used to:

• generate SCOTTY input ne.dat files from OMFITprofiles outputs.

• generate SCOTTY input topfiles from OMFITgeqdsk objects.

• configure and run the SCOTTY code.

• plot the outputs.

Supported devices

• DIII-D, MAST

Tutorials

• TBD
