Welcome to SAPPHiRE’s documentation!

SAPPHiRE is a Simulation and Analysis Program Package for HiSPARC Research and Education. This is your first stop if you want to download HiSPARC station data, perform a simulation or start analyzing (simulated) data.

While SAPPHiRE currently is very capable, the documentation is still being heavily developed. Please check the GitHub repository to view the activity log or browse or download the code.
