Notes:
This paper describes a software package that will ultimately be made available to the entire magnetic fusion energy community and which may be used to analyze and interpret linear and nonlinear fluctuation data generated by a wide variety of plasma diagnostics such as, for example, probes, scattering systems, and beams. The software tool is divided into two basic parts: mathematical/statistical programs and applications programs. The mathematical/statistical programs will be further subdivided into those suitable for stationary and nonstationary data. The stationary data package will include bispectral analysis, a very powerful tool in the analysis of nonlinear data. Application programs will include fluctuation-induced particle transport, two-point estimates of S(k, ω), three-wave coupling coefficients and energy cascading, and nonlinear digital filters. Both the prototype plasma-fluctuation diagnostic software tool and plans for the complete software package will be described. This work was supported by the U.S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC05-85ER80251.
