We are designing an instrument with a very large multidetector and are
interested in programmes which can be used for analysis, visualisation and
simulation of the acquired data set. On the the final instrument the data set
may be as large as 100 MB of integer data. The data is 4 or 5 dimensional and
we will require the analysis software to extract various slices/planes as well
as perform operation on large regions. We are planning to use a DEC Alpha 400
with about 128 MB of RAM as the computer system (running under VMS). The
software which has been suggested for this project is either AVS or IDL. From
the brief technical literature I have bothe are possible. Of course AVS
cost ~5 times as much as IDL. But It looks as if I'd have to do a lot more
work to get IDL to solve my problems.
Does anyone have experience of the two programmes and care to comment on
the advantages/ disadvantages, ease of use, value for money or anything else.
Once I get the new Alpha we should be able to play with demos of the
programmes but I'd like some input from other sources before that.
