Dear Paul, 

This is great news! Congratulations. 

We here at the Bragg Institute look forward to utilising and 
contributing to the GDA project, and wish you and the GDA team all the 
best.

> sources. It includes in addition some complementary 
> pre-release analysis 
> and visualization software from the analysis team.

> latest information but we list below briefly some of the 
> features of the 
> software: 
> 
> GDA was initially developed at SRS Daresbury <http://www.srs.ac.uk/> 
> but since 2003 it has been adopted by Diamond Light Source 
> <http://diamond.ac.uk/> who took over as the principal developer. 
> 
> The software is released under the GPLv3. 
> 
> * Eclipse RCP graphical interface (there is a Swing interface 
> which is being phased out) 
> * Embedded Jython interpreter for scripting and command-line 
> control 
> * Control system agnostic: internal interfaces in the code enable 
> the control system(s) that operate individual pieces of hardware to be 
> abstracted from the rest of the code. 
> * Diffcalc <http://www.opengda.org/OpenGDA/About/Diffcalc.html> 
> for diffractometer control in reciprical lattice space. 
> * Distributed design: multiple object servers representing 
> hardware communicating with multiple clients via CORBA 
> * Role-based access control to restrict users operations on 
> hardware where necessary 
> * Baton control: multiple client GUIs may run at the same time on 
> each beamline with control managed by a baton passed between them. 
> * Nexus <http://www.nexusformat.org/> data file format. Other 
> formats are used and may be implemented, but the code is optimised for 
> the Nexus format. 
> * Nexus data file viewer within the GDA client. 
> * Online data analysis and visualisation
