There are many different Matlab commands within Libisis. These include basic commands, such as taking the exponential of a dataset, through to integration and plotting commands. The following is an online user manual for the matlab interface of the Libisis software.

Overview

There are many different object types within Libisis used to store experimental data. Once an object is created, functions exist to manipulate the data contained within. The most common objects for plotting and data manipulation are IXTdataset_1d and IXTdataset_2d objects. All relevant data pertaining to a run can be stored in an IXTrunfile object. Data from many different file formats may be read into these objects for manipulation. Described below are many different functions for handling data.
