BessyHDFViewer [L1 ] 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
