The Multi-Diagnostic Toolkit Project (MDP) is a small but powerful tool to transform and display data produced by the University of Washington's Advanced Propulsion Laboratory. The MDP's purpose is simplify tedious calculation and manipulation on large datasets of an oscilloscope signal that displays in an interactive plot window. The program is designed for use with Advanced Propulsion Laboratory's instruments and data only and is not recommended for use elsewhere. The MDP is designed to be as modular as possible and written in Python 3.

Open MDP by either running the executable* file, or by running $ python mdp.py in the terminal. The second option requires Python 3 and The MDP's library dependencies. Installing the Anaconda Python Platform is recommended.

The main interface features a dropdown menu to choose what type of data MDP will interpret and display.
