  2. AMS Data Analysis Tasks, Intro The data acquisition software (DAQ) saves: * Values such as flow rate, airbeam, maximum m/z; one value per run. DAQ data sets: ParVal, InfoVal, RunInfo, CommonParVal * Raw mass spectra values for Open, Closed, possibly PToF data DAQ sets: MSOpen, MSClosed, possibly MSClosed_w, etc., PToF * Sticks spectra for Closed, Diff, possibly PToF data DAQ sets: MSSDiff, MSSClosed, PToFStick The specifics about what is saved and when can be found through the DAQ manual, available at: http://cires.colorado.edu/jimenez-group/ToFAMSResources/ToFSoftware/Downloads/Supplemental/ToF-AMS_DAQ_UM_v30.pdf One can open an hdf file within Igor (or other software programs) to load the DAQ data for analysis. In Igor go to Data - Load Waves – New HDF5 Browser. Then change the file type to all files (not .h5) and select a file. You should see something like:

  3. AMS Data Analysis Tasks, Intro

  4. AMS Data Analysis Tasks, Intro • An AMS data analysis should include: • Review of DAQ values and settings to ensure consistency of data from one run to the next. • Application of conversion factors to translate ion signal to mg/m3. • Checking and/or recalculation of raw spectra to sticks • Sticks to speciated aerosol loadings • Do these steps for many runs

  5. Outline • Squirrel Motivation What, Why, How • Squirrel Analysis Flow Chart Outline major steps, Quick & Complete Analysis • Squirrel Features AMS Igor Panel Screen Shots, Resulting Graphs • Squirrel Future Bug list & Feature requests • Closing Remarks

  6. What is Squirrel? • SQUIRREL (SeQUential Igor data RetRiEvaL) is an AMS data management and analysis tool. It is collection of code using the Igor software program. • Ongoing, collaborative effort Silke Hings, Frank Drewnick James Allan, Jonny Croiser Ed Dunlea, Donna Sueper Tim Onasch And many other AMS Users!

  7. Why Squirrel? • Aerodyne AMS generates large data sets • * Not feasible to load all data into memory • * The squirrel approach is to load sufficient data for task at hand (diagnostics, quick look…) • Recreation of James Allan’s quad program • * Generates mass spectra averages, size distributions, time trends; uses same frag list and batch files • Familiarity with Igor • * Publication-quality graphs • * Users can write custom code

  8. How does Squirrel work? • Access Raw HDF files generated from DAQ • * HDF is a general purpose file format for storing scientific data • * DAQ data remains on the disk in randomly accessible HDF format • Create intermediate HDF files (pre-processing) • * Files name example: AMS_intermediate_000001.hdf • * Some operations which create intermediate files: conversion to Hz, stick recalculation, application of DC markers for PToF size distributions • Select runs to analyze via Todo waves • * Todo waves are made up of run numbers, have a special format • * For quad users, Todo waves are generalized and versatile mask waves

  9. How does Squirrel access data? • DAQ DATA REMAINS UNMODIFIED in original HDF files • Intermediate HDF files, written to disk, hold processed MS and PToF data Pre-processed data include open and closed MS sticks (MSSOpen, MSSClosed, MSSDiff, raw MS spectra (MSOpen, MSClosed, MSDiff), PToF sticks (PToF_Stick) and PToF raw (PToF) spectra. • MSSDiff_p matrix stays in memory MSSDiff_p = stick values of difference spectra, rows are run #s, columns are m/z. The ‘_p’ indicates that it is ‘pre-processed’. • This has implications for how to organize, store Igor experiments!

Screen Shots AMS Panel Squirrel Credits, Web link Select Analysis Action * Always read top to bottom, left to right * Buttons make things go * Checkboxes indicate options * Gold buttons are popular * Most default setting are appropriate * Italicized items aren’t functional Select Data to Act Upon Create, view todo waves Manipulate Output, Other Info Is it done yet?

  24. What do I need to do to use Squirrel? • Version 5.05A or more of Igor • HDF5 xop to be placed in your Igor Extensions folder • Latest Squirrel software, a packed Igor template http://cires.colorado.edu/jimenez-group/ ToFAMSResources/ToFSoftware/SquirrelInfo/ (Email Donna Sueper for the username and password for downloading)

  25. What is next for Squirrel? • Continued bug fixing • Implement existing feature requests * Journal interface * Misc panel & graph tweaking

  26. Where can I go for more Squirrel info? • http://cires.colorado.edu/jimenez-group/wiki/index.php/ToF-AMS_Analysis_Software

  27. Thanks! • Thanks to fellow coders • Special thanks to James Allan • Thanks in advance for the ongoing collaboration We are squirrel !
