DAPPERS is now available for download!

DAPPERS stands for Data Analysis Package for Productive and Enthusiastic Rotational Spectroscopists. DAPPERS is designed to be an all-in-one tool for rotational spectroscopy that simplifies and expedites the processing and fitting of microwave spectra. The program features a graphical peak finder, a sophisticated fit searching algorithm based on spectral progressions, and the ability to quickly and easily run Pickett’s SPCAT and SPFIT programs.ADDIN CSL_CITATION {"citationItems":[{"id":"ITEM-1","itemData":{"author":[{"dropping-particle":"","family":"Pickett","given":"M","non-dropping-particle":"","parse-names":false,"suffix":""}],"id":"ITEM-1","issued":{"date-parts":[["1991"]]},"page":"371-377","title":"The Fitting and Prediction of Vibration-Rotation Spectra with Spin Interactions","type":"article-journal","volume":"377"},"uris":["http://www.mendeley.com/documents/?uuid=79e6e75b-2cc8-40ce-b726-42be958c24df"]}],"mendeley":{"formattedCitation":"<sup>1</sup>","plainTextFormattedCitation":"1","previouslyFormattedCitation":"<sup>1</sup>"},"properties":{"noteIndex":0},"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} Additionally, DAPPERS is organized in a user-friendly format with informative help menus designed to instruct the user how to properly operate every component of the program.
