• X26A_Plot for IDL 6.3

X26A Plot-

The X26A Plot program will allow you to plot all 1D and 2D ROI scan data ever collected at X26A in the BSIF data format. See the computing web page for details on its use. You'll need to have IDL VM installed as per the directions above. This is compiled using the recently released IDL version 6.3. I'd recommend folks migrate to IDL 6.3 when possible, since all future versions will be compiled in 6.3 (well...at least till 6.4 comes yet, eh). Once you've installed IDLVM you can unzip the .sav and double clicking on this file should start the program. Please let me know if there are things not working right. In order for the colors to work right you'll also need to download the color table (colors1.tbl) and overwrite the file that comes with IDL. So after installing IDLVM go to that directory (usually \RSI\IDL63) and find the subdirectory \resource\colors. Copy this file there. Then you're ready to go. Good luck!

• X27A_Plot for IDL 6.3

X27A Plot-

This is a version of our X26A Plot program compiled for beamline X27A at the NSLS. It supports their 13-element array detector, but many of the features specific for X26A (diffraction, SDD, etc.) are still enabled. This was compiled in IDL 6.3 and you must use that version of IDLVM for this to work properly.

• MCA Program

• Specplot for HDF

• Fitpeaks_HDF

MCA Program-

This TAR compressed file contains the latest version of the MCA program for IDL written by Mark Rivers. Decompress the program to your IDL directory. Double clicking on the file mca.sav should allow it to run as an IDLVM routine. You'll need to set the environment variables on your system described HERE at the bottom of the page. The Specplot program is a routine I wrote to let you plot within Mark's MCA routine any individual spectra that is saved in the HDF file that's created when you collect a spectrum scan. The Fitpeaks_hdf program should let you create an hdf file containing peak areas of fits to given fluorescence lines in your spectra for use with x26a_plot. See the documentation for x26a_plot for details.

• X26A_Tomo5

Fluorescence Tomography-

This routine allows for reconstruction of fluorescence tomography data collected at X26A. Double clicking on the file x26a_tomo5.sav should allow it to run as an IDLVM routine. The latest version fixes some bugs that existed with the absorption correction algorithm, streamlines the layout of the widget, adds support for RGB plots, and begis the implementation of algorithms to reconstruct the full energy dispersive spectra on a pixel by pixel basis.
