Inspect and communicate results
===============================

This entry point leads from a completed or interrupted measurement to
interactive analysis and a deliverable report.

1. Select the appropriate data source
-------------------------------------

* The **autosave pickle** resumes an interrupted measurement.
* The **after-measure pickle** separates completed acquisition from
  repeatable evaluation.
* The **final history pickle** contains acquisition, evaluation, and
  preceding reference datasets.
* **DAT and TSV files** are flat, readable views for comparison and further
  processing.

Details and security rules are documented under
:doc:`../results/history-files`.

2. Inspect a pickle interactively
---------------------------------

:doc:`PExplorer <../results/pexplorer>` displays the object structure,
transfers selected data into a table, and plots one or more Y quantities over
an X quantity. Inspect dataset keys, frequency coverage, units,
uncertainties, and referenced source data first.

Only load or execute pickles and PExplorer commands from trusted sources.

3. Generate a report
--------------------

``mpylab-tem-report`` discovers supported sections in a TEMCell history and
creates HTML, PDF, and separate SVG or PNG figures. Global laboratory details
and measurement-specific metadata can be layered through multiple TOML
profiles. See :doc:`../results/reports`.

4. Check traceability
---------------------

A report does not evaluate the measurement again. Verify that every
referenced dataset is available and that frequency coverage, completeness,
and warnings support the intended statement. ``traceability.tsv`` and
``report-metadata.tsv`` provide this information in machine-readable form.
