NDS
Interface for Mathematica |
12/29/99 |
The Network Data Server
(NDS) interface for Mathematica supports remote and local access
to the data stream of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory
(LIGO). The user can retrieve data from right within a Mathematica
notebook by importing the NDS package. The NDS package is build around
the MathLink interface which allows data exchange through standard
network protocols. At the observatories a MathLink server program
is constantly listening to user requests which are then translated into
requests for the Network Data Server. When the Network Data Server
completes a request the data is sent back through the MathLink interface
to the Mathematica notebook where it is then accessible to the user
for further processing and viewing as a native Mathematica data
array. |
Mathematica
Package |
The Mathematica package for accessing
data through the Network Data Server can be obtained from here.
Preferably, it is installed in the Mathematica directory under "AddOns/Applications/LIGO".
This will allow all users on the system to load the package with the command
Needs["LIGO`nds`"]. |

accessing data from the Network Data Server.) |
