The Aim of ThisUsing the Calibration file generated from a Silver Behenate and Cubic Y2O3 mixture in the previous tutorial we are going to convert masses of INEL data in GUFI format to a constant interpolated step of a user defined range. |
Run Diffconv and Load the Calibration FileRun diffconv and select File, Load Options to add the standard file you wish to convert to ASCII without using any calibration.
|
You can check if the Calibration (*.pre) file loaded OK by selecting Options, Spline Options
and check the data matches up. If you find zeros around the place, the data may not have
been tab delimited - but space delimited. (Go and edit the *.pre calibration file and make it
tab delimited.
|
Use the Add Files icon to add the thousands of data files you
need to convert.
Then selecting the Spline Conversion button, and options such as Round 2-theta to Integers, Constant Step 2-theta, Limit 2-theta range, and the data format you wish to output to. If you select the CPI or related output formats, Constant Step 2-theta will be greyed "ON" as this is a Constant Step format.
|
Now select the Convert and convert the data. You will be asked questions based on your options. Please give sensible answers here - especially with the contant step size (0.03 can normally be a good default) and the 2-theta range. The Interpolate options mentioned below are to convert the data into constant step. Linear is fast - spline is slow. Don't confuse this with the "spline" calibration.
