The pulse file is opened, however no data have been yet fetched from the pulse file.

IDSs are data containers described by the IMAS Data Dictionary. IDSs represent either a Diagnostics (like the 'bolometer' IDS), or a System (like the 'camera_ir'), or a concept like the 'equilibrium' IDS representing the plasma equilibrium.

In order to write IDS data to the pulse file, we will first use the put() operation which writes all static (non time dependent) and dynamic data from an IDS. 

Let's add a 'magnetics' IDS to the pulse file previously created.

The first part of the code below is opening a data_entry (see 2.2.1.2.), then a magnetics IDS is created and written to the data_entry using the put() operation:

Code Block
import imas
import getpass
import numpy as np
from imas import imasdef
#creates the Data Entry object 'data_entry' associated  to the pulse file with shot=15000, run=1, belonging to database 'data_access_tutorial' of the current user, using the MDS+ backend
data_entry = imas.DBEntry(imasdef.MDSPLUS_BACKEND, 'data_access_tutorial, 15000, 1, user_name=getpass.getuser())
#opens the pulse file associated to the Data Entry object 'data_entry' previously created
data_entry.open() 

magnetics_ids = imas.magnetics() #creating a 'magnetics' IDS
magnetics_ids.ids_properties.homogeneous_time=1 #setting the homogneous time to 1
magnetics_ids.ids_properties.comment='IDS created for testing the IMAS Data Access layer'
magnetics_ids.time=np.array([0]) #the time(vector) basis must be not empty, otherwise an error will occur at runtime
data_entry.put(magnetics_ids, 0) #writing magnetics data to the data_entry associated to the pulse file. The second argument 0 is the so-called IDS occurrence.
data_entry.close()
