AMNS Documentation

The AMNS library is meant to be called by Work Package codes if the codes need data for Atomic, Molecular, Nuclear or Surface processes. The calling sequence is described in more detail below, but the basic idea is: (1) initialize the package; (2) request data for a particular reaction by initializing a "table" for that reaction; (3) (repeatedly) requesting data for that reaction as a fuction of plasma or other parameters; (4) finishing with the table; and (5) finishing with the AMNS library.

The actual AMNS data is provided by CPOs stored under the "amns" tokamak and will first be searched for in the user's database, and if not found there, the system will default to obtaining the data from the public AMNS database. Multiple versions of the AMNS data are possible: in 4.09a and 4.09b this was done via a mysql database; in 4.10a and later this is done by having an index block stored in shot 0, run 1 of the AMNS CPO.
