Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly summary for gafusion/omas: Key features delivered and bug fixes contributed to maintainability and diagnostic capabilities. Achievements include removing an unused nref parameter from magnetics_floops_data to simplify the function signature and reduce dead code, and extending charge_exchange_data to include ROT and ROT_ERR for rotational velocity measurements in charge exchange diagnostics. These changes enhance data quality, streamline maintenance, and enable richer plasma analysis.

May 1, 2025May 2025 (gafusion/omas) monthly summary: Key features delivered include radiated power data capture (prad_tot) integrated into the summary IDS with robust MDSplus-based retrieval, mapping prad_tot and its timestamp to summary.time and summary.global_quantities.power_radiated_inside_lcfs.value. Retrieval includes signal fallbacks and sign corrections to ensure data consistency across mappings. Also delivered DIII-D charge-exchange data acquisition improvements (Ti and Zeff) with refactored retrieval logic to correctly handle Ti measurements and Zeff data, plus updates to regression test pulse numbers and support for new TDI paths. Major bugs fixed include MDSplus connection caching and reconnect fixes, with a robust reconnect mechanism and a cache key update (server, treename, pulse) to restore stable data access. In addition, prad_tot retrieval improvements fixed sign handling and robustness against data gaps. Overall impact and accomplishments: Enhanced data reliability and fidelity for radiation diagnostics and charge-exchange measurements, enabling faster analytics and more accurate physics interpretation. Reduced data-access outages through robust reconnection logic and improved data-fetch paths, supporting ongoing experiments with higher confidence. Technologies/skills demonstrated: MDSplus integration and data mapping, caching and reconnect strategies, error handling and data quality controls, regression-test aware development, and cross-path data acquisition enhancements in the DIII-D work.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 monthly highlights for gafusion/omas: robust EC data handling and run-aligned trimming, with release packaging improvements. Key outcomes include: 1) EC Launcher Active Hardware Handling Enhancements: improved mapping of DIII-D ec_launcher data, better beam-mode determination from xfrac, fallback for missing beam voltage (default 80 keV), and resilient behavior when XMFRAC is not recorded (fallback to X-mode); tests updated to target ec_launcher_active_hardware. 2) Dynamic Data Trimming Window Based on EFIT01: EC/NB data trimmed using the last EFIT01 timestamp to align with the experimental run. 3) Version bump to 0.94.2: release-only change for packaging stability. Overall impact: higher data quality, reproducibility, and reliability for downstream analysis; engineering rigor through focused tests and versioned releases. Technologies/skills: Python data processing, conditional logic, EFIT01-based timing, testing, and release management.
