history
Project history and usage
QSoas is a graphical and command-scriptable scientific data-analysis application focused on processing experimental datasets and performing difficult or global fits.
Project history
QSoas continues the SOAS line of scientific data-analysis software associated with Vincent Fourmond and collaborators. It developed into a Qt-based application while preserving a command-oriented workflow and adding global fitting, formula- and differential-equation-based models, signal processing, peak detection, and embedded mruby scripting.
Adoption history
Upstream provides ready-to-use macOS and Windows installers while directing Linux users to compile from source. The input records a Homebrew formula, giving macOS users an additional package-manager installation route.
How it is used
Use QSoas interactively to import, transform, visualize, and fit experimental data, or place commands in script files for repeatable batch analysis. Fit models may use formulas, predefined functions, ordinary differential equations, or differential equations.
Upstream documents command files and embedded mruby but does not identify a canonical per-user configuration or credentials file.
Why package nerds care
QSoas occupies a specialist niche between a plotting program, a numerical fitting library, and instrument-vendor analysis software. Package users get a Qt application that remains command-driven and scriptable enough for reproducible laboratory workflows.
Timeline
- 2009: An official Bioelectrochemistry publication documented the earlier SOAS analysis program and noted that QSoas was under development.
- Later development: QSoas expanded the lineage into a cross-platform Qt application with advanced fitting and embedded scripting.
Related projects
- SOAS was QSoas's earlier command-driven predecessor for electrochemical and other one-dimensional signals.
- mruby supplies QSoas's embedded scripting capability.
