BessyHDFViewer [https://github.com/BessyHDFViewer/BessyHDFViewer] is a data visualization software for HDF data files.
With BessyHDFViewer you can:
   * Browse a directory of measurement files and quickly get an overview what is contained
   * Plot arbitrary columns of the data files into 2D line graphs

   * Perform some basic computation (algebra on arbitrary columns, peak finding, numerical derivative, dataset normalization)

   * Export plots and data as PDF graphs and ASCII files

   * Find differences between similar measurements

   * Search data files containing keywords or given data ranges

In addition to HDF5 files, plot whitespace-separated ASCII files and the older HDF4 format of PTB
