The Rachel interface facilitates [http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~hayes/beta_rachel/calculation_in_2_minutes.html fast setup of Gosia calculations] and data analysis using push-button controls with guided input and 'plain language' warnings during setup. It is currently undergoing beta-testing. The GUI ''optionally'' uses a modified Gosia version based on release 20081208.10, called 20081208.10.a. This modified Gosia source code is distributed with the Rachel package. Rachel is written in Python 2.6 and is expected to be Python 2.7 compliant. It runs under Linux and Unix (OS X) machines, but it has ''not'' been tested under Windows. | The Rachel interface facilitates [http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~hayes/beta_rachel/calculation_in_2_minutes.html fast setup of Gosia calculations] and data analysis using push-button controls with guided input and 'plain language' warnings during setup.

The Rachel tar archive of version 2.0.8.beta is available on a [http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~hayes/beta_rachel/rachel.2.0.8.beta.tar temporary download site]. This includes an ''extended'' version of Gosia that makes use of file number 99 for amplitude vs. time data [[File:Amplitudes.png|thumb|right|Excitation amplitude as a function of the time-like variable 'w' generated by Gosia via the Rachel GUI.]] and collision function output for optional plotting functions in the GUI. Except for these two functions, the GUI can be run with the current version of Gosia. | The Rachel tar archive of version 2.0.8.beta is available on a [http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~hayes/beta_rachel/rachel.2.0.8.beta.tar temporary download site].
