Miscellaneous Tools

• elegant2genesis -- Processes particle output from the particle tracking code elegant[2] and makes a file suitable for use as the BEAMFILE with the FEL code GENESIS[8].

• sddssampledist -- Draws samples from one or more probability distributions. Suitable for making input particle distributions for tracking codes, for example, using user-defined probability distributions.

• sddssequence -- Creates an SDDS data set of arithmetic sequences. Example application: generating values for an independent variable, whose values can be used by sddsprocess to produce a mathematical function.

• sddscongen -- Creates an SDDS data set by evaluating an rpn expression over a defined 2 dimensional grid. Example application: generating values of a function of two variables on a grid for plotting with sddscontour.

• sddstimeconvert -- Converts time data between seconds-since-epoch and calendar breakdown formats. Example application: finding the year, month, and day corresponding to a system time value.
