TWIST : Main screen Filter Area Experimental frames Ne. Xus Files 25 th & 26 th August 2009 ICAT developer workshop 3

TWIST : What does-it do? n To retrieve easily Ne. Xus files, each file is associated to an experimental context. It means a set of metadata describing the file (beamline name, experiment type, comment sample, users list…) 1. Users create search filters to find experimental contexts, and thus their Ne. Xus files. 2. They can browse Ne. Xus files thanks to the integrated Ne. Xus visualization tool named “Baladi” 3. They can download files or extract them into a choosen format (the extraction’s process is transparent. It’s done with Nxextract tool) 25 th & 26 th August 2009 ICAT developer workshop 4
