D.1a AVOCADO

An Alignment and Visual Optimisation Code for Analysing DKIST Observations (AVOCADO) provides a user-friendly interface for co-aligning and visualising data from the various DKIST instruments. The package consists of 3 main tools. 1) Pre-AVOCADO: This package will provide the user with an interface to pick and choose which DKIST/Space-based data to co-align based on the date and time of choice. Lossy co aligned data will be created for the visualisation tool. 2) AVOCADO: This package is the main visualisation interface, utilising the co-aligned data to allow for a user-friendly method of understanding the data in real time and to provide a platform for users to see how the different instruments have captured the field-of-view over the time-series. 3) UAC: Analysis can be set-up through AVOCADO, and the Graphical Utility for Analytical Computations computes the analysis chosen by the user on the lossless data.
