Importing Time-Dependent Laser Beam Power Data

VISRAD can import time-dependent laser beam power data from a CSV-formatted file. To view the format for the file contents, see Time-Dependent Laser Beam Power Data Files.

To import the power data into VISRAD, select File | Import Laser Beam Data | Time-Dependent Powers. When importing the data, a list of beams for which power data is found is displayed.

The time-dependent power data for all selected beams is read in and stored, and the power specification type is set to Variable (i.e., each beam is specified to use tabular time-dependent powers). If the power at any time is negative, its value is set to zero.

For NIF, the imported powers are assumed to be blue cone powers. Red and green cone powers are unaffected when importing the data.
