Description:
| ||||||
Documentation:
These macros functions provide programmers with the basic data saving possibilities. The standard scan format is kept and added something special for MCA data, including spectrum re-loading. Each macro function deals with a particular set of information or data. DEPENDENCIES - The file has saveload.mac to be read in | ||||||
Macros:
Usage: savestdheader (file,flag,lastindex) Writes to file something close to the standard scan header, using the same syntax, e.g.: #S 3 ct 0.2 #D Mon Nov 20 15:37:58 1995 #T 0.2 (Seconds) #G1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 #Q #P0 10 112.64444 -27The <flag> has the following meaning: Example : SCAN_N=savestdheader(DATAFILE,3,SCAN_N) would increments scan number and writes down to standard scan file the information as described above. savecntheader Usage: savecntheader (file) Writes to <file> the number and list of counters configured, as it is done when scanning, e.g: #N 6 #L Seconds MM/CC MCAA MCA Counter 4 Counter 5 savemcaheader Usage: savemcaheader (file,fmt,npts,fch,lch,red,pst,elt,ert) Writes to <file> some information relevant for a MCA,i.e.: fmt: data_dump() format, e.g. "%16C" npts: number of points dumped down fch: first channel saved lch: last channel saved red: data reduction coefficient pst: preset time elt: elapsed live time ert: elapsed real time The saved data looks like the following: #@MCA %16C as for dump format #@CHANN 10 1250 1260 1 as for no of chans, fst, lst, reduc coeff #@CTIME 1 0.49 1 as for preset time, elapsed live time, -real- savemcacalib Usage: savemcacalib (file,a,b,c) Writes to <file> the MCA calibration fit parameters such as CALIBRATION = a + b*CHANNEL + c*CHANNEL^2 . What is saved data looks like the following: #@CALIB 0 1 0 as for a b c calibration parameters (see above) savemcaroi Usage: savemcaroi (file,fch,lch,name) Writes to <file> the current MCA ROIs definition. Looks like this: #@ROI MCAA 1250 1300 as for roi name, fst and lst channels savecounters Usage: savecounters (file) Writes to <file> the contents of S[] array on 1 data line. e.g. : 0.199 62 62 0 0 0 savemcadata Usage: savemcadata (file,data,size,fmt) Writes to <file> the MCA spectrum held by <data> array, using the format <fmt> coherant to data_dump() function. That function needs to know the size, or number of points to be dumped. The output migth look like the following: (format 16C, for cplot) @A 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0\ 0 0 32 30 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0\ 0 loadmcadata Usage: loadmcadata <file> <array_name> <column> <scan_no> <scan_pt_no> <mode> <out1> <out2> <out3> <out4> Reads from <file> and loads into mca <array_name>[][<column>] the MCA spectrum referrenced by its scan number and eventually its scan point number. <mode = 1> means that the calibration parameters are read from the file together with the data and reported in <out4> string (like "a b c", for E = a + b*ch + c*ch^2). <out1> and <out2> returns the absolute first and last channels and <out3> the reduction coefficient. | ||||||
