DAVE stands for Data Analysis of Variable Events, which is a GUI built on top of the Stingray library. It is intended to be used by astronomers for time-series analysis in general, and analysis of variable sources in particular.
The goal is to enable scientific exploration of astronomical X-Ray observations and to analyse this data in a graphical environment.
