DAMNIT: A Tool for Automated Experiment Overviews

The Data And Metadata iNspection Interactive Thing (DAMNIT) is a software developed by the Data Analysis group at European XFEL (EuXFEL) that automates the creation of experimental overviews for beamline scientists and users. At EuXFEL, experimental tracking has traditionally relied on manually filled spreadsheets and electronic logbooks to record experimental settings, metadata, and analysis results. This approach is time-consuming, error-prone, and challenges reproducibility. DAMNIT replaces these manual processes with an automated solution.
