GSECARS Detector-Related Software
This document describes the GSECARS-developed IDL software used for handling
x-ray detectors. These are mainly routines for reading various file formats
which detector software packages create.
All of these IDL routines are available in a
tar file.
- read_bas2000.pro
is used to read files created by Fuji's BAS2000 software for their
image plate reader.
- read_mar345.pro
is used to read compressed files created by the MAR-345 online image plate scanner.
- read_marccd.pro
is used to read TIFF files created by the MAR-CCD software.
- read_nd_netcdf.pro
is used to read netCDF data files created by the NDPluginFile in the EPICS areaDetector module.
- read_xmap_netcdf.pro
is used to read netCDF data files created by the xMAP and Mercury in mapping modes in the EPICS dxp module.
- decode_falcon_buffers.pro
is used to decode the buffers in the data files created by the FalconX in mapping modes in the EPICS dxpSITORO module.
- decode_xmap_buffers.pro
is used to decode the buffers in the data files created by the xMAP and Mercury in mapping modes in the EPICS dxp module.
- read_xmap_2d.pro
is used to read 2-D scans in xMAP or Mercury mapping mode, where each row of the scan is saved in a separate netCDF file.
- read_phantom.pro
is used to read data files created by the Vision Research Phantom cameras.
- read_photometrics.pro
is used to read .PMIS files created by Photometrics (now Roper Scientific)
software for their CCD detectors.
- read_princeton.pro
is used to read .SPE files created by Princeton Instruments (now Roper
Scientific) WinSpec and WinView software for their CCD detectors.
- read_pxl.pro
is used to read .PXL files created by Photometrics software.
- read_siemens.pro
is used to read files created by Siemens (now Bruker) SMART software for their
CCD detectors.
- read_wdx.pro
is used to read wavelength scan files created by MicroSpec (now Oxford)
"Qualitative Analysis" program for their WDX wavelength spectrometer.
- winx32_ccd_define.pro
implements an IDL class library to control Princeton Instruments WinView and WinSpec
programs through the Microsoft COM interface.
- winx32_dm_cmd_define.pro
defines a structure for use by the winx32_ccd class.
- winx32_dm_cmd_init.pro
initializes the winx32dm_cmd structure for use by the winx32_ccd class.
- winx32_exp_cmd_define.pro
defines a structure for use by the winx32_ccd class.
- winx32_exp_cmd_init.pro
initializes the winx32_exp_cmd structure for use by the winx32_ccd class.
- write_bas2000.pro
is used to write files in the format used by Fuji's BAS2000 software for their
image plate reader.
- write_princeton.pro
is used to write .SPE files in the format used by Princeton Instruments (now Roper
Scientific) WinSpec and WinView software for their CCD detectors.
