Ft2db is a database of Ft-2 tokamak experimental data that was produced by ASTRA code (Automated System for TRansport Analysis). FT-2 tokamak is situated in St.Petersburg Russia in the Ioffe Institute
In the database there are objects named "<name>_<time>" for example: 140609ss_0.028 , that usually means that the experiment was made 09 June 2014, the time of experimental data is 28ms and ss means Steady State.
More information about specific experiment could be found in uniq experiment file that is available by link. Equation files are available too. So you could repeat all the simulation with your own ASTRA code. Except there might be no additional modules in pure ASTRA.
It's possible to download all database as a JSON file and work with it more precise. Additional information about it in "Data Parsing" section.

More information could be found in the ASTRA manual by checking names in output of equation files
There are some Python parsers of JSON files that may help with analyzing data: switching str from DB to float, finding specific experiments, printing specific data, averaging and so on.
You need /parsing folder. At the moment there is no external manual for the code but it's pretty easy to understand if you have some experience in Python.
ATTENTION: DB file in the repository is not necessary actual, better download one from http://ft2db.com
Usage of the data requires adding all contributors of the project in an affiliation. For more information please contact us
