Some of those experiments require real-time visualization of magnetic surface reconstructions either through EFIT or quick analyses and visualization of experimental data during experiments. Recently, experimental studies of Geodesic Acoustic Mode (GAM) and zonal flows were performed in the STOR-M tokamak. The GAM experiments strongly require the collection of fluctuation data from different Langmuir probes installed at different poloidal locations, but on the same magnetic surfaces. This is requires the adjustment of radial locations between discharges. It is therefore important to analyze and visualize the features of all probe data quickly during discharges. For this purpose, a Python code was developed and used for quick analysis of the data. This article describes the development of the code using Python and its use in detail.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym14081559","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,29]],"date-time":"2022-07-29T01:41:16Z","timestamp":1659058876000},"page":"1559","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Development of an Interactive Code for Quick Data Analyses between STOR-M Tokamak Experimental Plasma Discharges"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Masaru","family":"Nakajima","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Plasma Physics Laboratory, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK S7N 5A2, Canada"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6489-9284","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Debjyoti","family":"Basu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plasma Physics Laboratory, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK S7N 5A2, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Maryland, Baltimore, MD 21250, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6878-7493","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexander V.","family":"Melnikov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Research Center Kurchatov Institute, 123182 Moscow, Russia"},{"name":"National Research Nuclear University MEPhI, 115409 Moscow, Russia"},{"name":"Physics and Technology, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, 141700 Dolgoprudny, Russia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0614-2291","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"McColl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plasma Physics Laboratory, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK S7N 5A2, Canada"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1024-6253","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chijin","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plasma Physics Laboratory, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK S7N 5A2, Canada"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"R35","DOI":"10.1088\/0741-3335\/47\/5\/R01","article-title":"Zonal flows in plasma\u2014A review","volume":"47","author":"Diamond","year":"2005","journal-title":"Plasma Phys.
