This website serves to demonstrate a novel lossy trace compression algorithm developed for data acquisition systems employed in physics experiments. Compression is achived by adaptivly downsampling the trace where regions of interest are kept at an high resolution whilst regions dominated by noise is downsampled. Regions of interest are defined as sections of the trace where signal deviations are signficant compared to the estimated standard deviation of the noise. For a more detailed principle of operation please consulte our Master's thesis.

To get started either select one of the test traces or upload your own trace file. This file should contain a list of integers representing the samples of the trace. The system is quite linient so formats that approximates JSON or CSV should be acceptable.
