Preparing the IXTdata_source
All the population routines descirbed here use the IXTdata_source object. The IXTdata_source object is used to define source files for the population of an IXTrunfile object. Different source files can be added to the IXTdata_source object with their own special commands:
- rawfiles: add_rawfile add_multrawfile
- monitor map files: add_monmap
- monitor mask files: add_monmask
- detector map files: add_detmap
- detector mask files: add_detmask
It is necessary to define the type of instrument you are using in the IXTdata_source object, of course only one instrument can be defined for population to work as you would expect. This affects how the IXTrunfile is populated, and the current options are as follows
- chopper instruments: add_chopinst
- diffraction instruments: add_diffinst
IXTmap and IXTmask files
Different instruments generally have their own map files associated with them, but it is also possible to create IXTmap and IXTmask from the matlab command line
Populating IXTrunfile
There are three standard ways to populate an IXTrunfile object, all require an IXTdata_source object which has had the type of instrument defined in it ie. chopper or diffraction instrument. As well as simply loading data from a raw file the data can generally be optionally masked/mapped/rebinned using an argument to the population function as a keyword with an associated parameter (eg. a map/mask file, rebin parameters etc.)
- For any of these functions to run properly the matlab environment must be prepared by calling the instrument setup scripts.
- If a map/mask/raw file is provided as a command line argument, then it will override any specification already defined in the [IXTdata_source] object.
- If no map files are defined, either on the command line or in the IXTdata_source object then a 1:1 mapping with _all_ spectra will be created by default. If no mask files are defined then all spectra will be included in the workspaces.
The standard construction for these population routines is as follows.
>> RF=pop_fun(DSO, run_no, 'keyword_1', parameter_1,..., 'keyword_N',parameter_N)
For any of these functions to run properly the matlab environment must be prepared by calling the instrument setup scripts.
- RF is an IXTrunfile object
- DSO is an IXTdata_source object which contains an instrument type definition
- pop_fun can be either _mon,spec,pop_full,homer_
- raw file specification does not use a keyword, it is built up from the standard instrument abbreviation (eg. HRP, MAR, SRF etc.) and the run number automatically according to which setup file has been run. If this has not been run then the script will fail and tell you
- keywords are always character strings and each keyword must be followed by a parameter
- values can take any appropriate type
- map files have a designated Map File Format
- mask files have a designated Mask File Format
mon
This function populates an IXTrunfile object with the raw time-of-flight data for the monitors in the runfile.mon_data [IXTdata] object only. It will optionally accept the keywords in the following table:
| Keyword | Parameter Type | Brief Description |
|---|---|---|
| 'period' | numeric | specifies period default:1, if = 0 then spectra can be defined from more than one period |
| 'mon_map' | 'string' or IXTmap | specifies a map file, supplied parameter is defines the location of the monitor map file |
| 'mon_mask' | 'string' | specifies a mask file, supplied parameter is defines the location of the monitor mask file |
| 'm_rebin' | [xlo,dx,xhi] or [x_1,dx_1,x_2,dx_2,...,x_n,dx_n,x_n+1] | rebin parameters are defined according to the numerical array inputs of rebin_x,rebin for single datasets |
An example sequence of commands is shown below.
>> run_no= '12345' % run number >> monitor_mask_file = 'X:\MASKFILES\MON.MASK' >> monitor_map_file = 'X:\MAPFILES\MON.MAP' >> rebin_parameters = [1000,100,20000] >> runfile = mon(dso,run_no,'mon_map',monitor_map_file,'mon_mask',monitor_mask_file,'m_rebin',rebin_parameters)
spec
This function populates an IXTrunfile object with the raw time-of-flight data for the detectors in the runfile.det_data [IXTdata] object only. It will optionally accept the keywords in the following table:

| 'period' | numeric | specifies period default:1, if = 0 then spectra can be defined from more than one period |
| 'det_map' or | 'string' or IXTmap | specifies a map file, supplied parameter is defines the location of the detector map file |
| 'det_mask' | 'string' | specifies a mask file, supplied parameter is defines the location of the detector mask file |
| 'd_rebin' | [xlo,dx,xhi] or [x_1,dx_1,x_2,dx_2,...,x_n,dx_n,x_n+1] | specifies rebinning of data, rebin parameters are defined according to the *numerical* array inputs of [rebin_x],[rebin] for single datasets |
| 'd_int' | [xlo,xhi] | specifies limits for integration of the dataset between two limits, 'd_int' *cannot* be supplied with 'd_rebin' |
| 'background' | [xlo,xhi] | specifies a background subtraction, the supplied parameter is a numerical array defining the background integration range in time-of-flight |
An example sequence of commands is shown below.
>> run_no= '54321' % run number >> detector_mask_file = 'X:\MASKFILES\DET.MASK' >> detector_map_file = 'X:\MAPFILES\DET.MAP' >> rebin_parameters = [1000,100,20000] >> bgrd =[12000,18000] >> runfile = spec(dso,run_no,'det_map',detector_map_file,'det_mask',detector_mask_file,'d_rebin',rebin_parameters)
