<li>A window named "GUISDAP for dummies" should pop up.<p>
<img src="gupdum.png">
</li></ul>
<h3>Fill in the parameters</h3>
The window contains the parameters that was used in the last analysis.
You might need to change some of them.
<ul>
First hit the "<b>Reset</b>" button.
Guisdap will search for the latest data and set up default parameters.
If this is not what you want you have to go further:
<ul>
<li><b>Data path:</b> Where the raw data files is. Click on the button:<p>
<img src="dpath1.png">
<img src="dpath2.png"><p>
To go up in the hierarchy you need to double-click on the ".." file.
Select the right directory and press "OK". Guisdap will parse the directory
name and try to set up everything: Experiment, start/stop time, integration time...
<li><b>Dsp expr:</b> The "radar controller" experiment which is in this example tau2pl (already set up by choosing <b>Data path</b> here).
Click on the button and select the right experiment:<p>
<li><b>Site:</b> Select correct site, from which the data comes.
<li><b>Start time:</b> The start time for analysis, year month day hour minute second.
Should normally be before the time when the experiment started. A good idea is to
keep the minutes and seconds to zero. Here: <pre>2003 10 29 9 0 0</pre>
<li><b>Stop time:</b> The stop time for analysis, year month day hour minute second.
Should normally be after the time when the experiment stop(s). A good idea is to
keep the minutes and seconds to zero. Here: <pre>2003 11 2 24 0 0</pre>
<li><b>Result path:</b> The directory where the results should go. If the last part of it is "AUTO",
it is rewritten using the date, dsp expr, integration time and site.
Here: <pre>/analysis/results/2003-10-29_tau2pl_60@kir</pre>.
Normally this is what you want, othervise click on it and select/create a specific one.
<li><b>Real time:</b> If running the analysis in realtime, this button should
be IN. This is also done automatically if the stop time is in the future.
<li><b>Integration time:</b> Number of seconds to integrate, before attempting analysis.
For stationary experiments enter a nice number. Here: 120 (=2 minutes). If it is a
scanning experiment, you probably want to integrate for as long as the antenna stands still,
enter 0.
<li><b>Disp figures:</b> Guisdap produces some plots during the analysis:
the data dump, a power profile, the actual fit(s), height profiles, vizu (the parameters vs time).
The display is turned on with "1" and off with "0".<p>
For remote sites I recommend: "0 0 1 0 1" (fits+vizu)<p>
For transmitting sites I recommend: "0 1 0 0 1" (powerprofile+vizu)
<li><b>Special:</b> Here you can enter almost any matlab command you want
to give before starting analysis. There are hundreds of parameters, but here
follows a list of the most common ones<p>
"analysis_txlimit=0; f_ch_Pt=1.2e6" will integrate the data even if the transmitter is recorded as off and
force the tx power to 1.2 MW. Needed sometimes at remote sites.<p>
"a_Offsetppd" should be set to the number of microseconds the remote site clock differs from Tromso.<p>
"f_calTemp" will set the calibration temperature to the correct value, if recorded wrong.<p>
"Magic_const" is another parameter to set here, if needed.<p>
"analysis_code" choses which part of the data you want to analyse. Needed
sometimes for dual-beam or sliced experiments.<p>
<img src="gupdum2.png"><p>
Remember that "%" will comment out the rest of the line, so one can keep the command there for
later reference if you don't want it this time.
<li>When ready, press <b>GO</b>
</li></ul>
<h3>Analysis</h3>

Here also the plot of the fit was chosen. Check that the green line (theory) are in phase
with the data. A measured offset is displayed, but can be
Othervise, you need to change the "a_Offsetppd" parameter: restart the analysis and
do it.
<li>If you are running in realtime, the analysis will pause when reaching the end of the data.
Here the vizu window will show up, and the program gets each new dump as it arrives. The timeout
for waiting for new data is presently set to 5 minutes.
If you don't want to wait when reaching the end of the experiment,
you can relase the <b>RT</b> button, and the analysis will finnish.
<li>When the analysis is finished the vizu plot is saved together with the data.

<li>If you are running realtime, and don't want to wait for the integration timeout after
the experiment stopped, you can
release the "RT" button and the analysis will finish.
<li>When you are finished, hit the <b>Quit</b> button.

<h3>Problems</h3>
<ul>
<li>GUSDAP might accidentaly stop, due to unforseeable errors. Sometimes,
such interrupted analysis can be continued with the command "anacont".
