LISA, an on- and off-Line Data Analyzing Program
Burkhard Kolb · IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science · 1983
LISA is a FORTRAN program package to evaluate on-line and off-line experimental data of nuclear and particle physics on VAX computers. The design goal of LISA was to provide the user with a flexible, easy to use, safe, and expandable system. The analysis of experiments consists basically of two steps, i.e., reading and sorting events into histograms and the manipulation and graphical or numerical output of the histograms. Accordingly, LISA is divided into a process that deals with events and a large number of processes that define the scope of the analysis or act on the accumulated histograms.
