On-line processing and analysis of SAXS data



Introduction

Matlab based graphical user interfaces have been developed for the online processing and analysis of Small Angle X-ray Scattering data.

The described programs are available in a compiled version (not requiring a Matlab licence) for Windows, Linux, and Solaris.

BHplot (online treatment and fitting of SAXS data)
DataTools (averaging, background subtraction, normalization of ASCII data, etc.)

EDFplot (processing of 2D SAXS images - compatible with SAXS Programs by P. Bösecke)
EDFtools (averaging, subtraction, etc. of EDF images - compatible with SAXS Programs by P. Bösecke)

Get latest Windows version
:

Download and install program files using the installer: SAXSutilitiesSetup.exe
Do not forget to install the Matlab runtime environment!!
You will be asked at the end of the installation routine to download and install this runtime environment. The installation has to be done only once.


Get latest Linux version
(developed under redhat4 and tested with openSUSE11)
:

  1. Download: saxsutilities.tar.gz

  2. Unpack the archive in a directory (e.g. gzip -d saxsutilities.tar.gz; tar xvf saxsutilities.tar)

  3. Open the file start_saxsutilities in an editor and set the (absolute) path LD_SAXSUT_PATH to the chosen installation directory.

  4. Start SAXSutilities using ./start_saxsutilities directly from the installation directory.

  5. Note that unspec by P. Mikulík has to be installed.

  6. Note that saxsprograms by P. Bösecke have to be installed.

  7. To use the fitting functions please refer to the instructions in config.zip.


A Mac version is unfortunately not available
