| 25 | 3. Add data (histograms) to the Experiment |
|---|
| 26 | </H1> |
|---|
| 27 | |
|---|
| 28 | The next step in the tutorial is to add data. Note that |
|---|
| 29 | GSAS uses the term |
|---|
| 30 | histogram to refer to a powder diffraction data set. |
|---|
| 31 | To add data, switch to the Histogram in EXPGUI pane and press the |
|---|
| 32 | "Add New Histogram" button in the lower right. |
|---|
| 33 | <img src="addhs1.gif" ALIGN=LEFT> |
|---|
| 34 | This brings up the "add new histogram" dialog, to the left. |
|---|
| 35 | Press on the upper "Select File" button for a dialog box to select |
|---|
| 36 | a data file. |
|---|
| 37 | |
|---|
| 38 | <BR clear=left> |
|---|
| 39 | <img src="addhs2.gif" ALIGN=LEFT> |
|---|
| 40 | Select the appropriate file, in this case nickel.raw and press |
|---|
| 41 | the "Open" button. |
|---|
| 42 | |
|---|
| 43 | At this stage, different things can happen. |
|---|
| 44 | If the file is not correctly formatted, |
|---|
| 45 | <A HREF="nickelnotes.html#reformat">a dialog will offer |
|---|
| 46 | to convert the file to the correct format.</a> |
|---|
| 47 | Also, in some cases, the data file specifies the name of the instrument |
|---|
| 48 | parameter file. If so, that name will be loaded into the "Instrument |
|---|
| 49 | Parameter file" box. If not, as in this case, the file must be selected |
|---|
| 50 | by pressing the lower "Select File" button which creates a |
|---|
| 51 | dialog box to select an instrument parameter file, similar |
|---|
| 52 | to the one above. |
|---|
| 53 | |
|---|
| 54 | <BR clear=left> |
|---|
| 55 | <img src="addhs3.gif" ALIGN=LEFT> |
|---|
| 56 | After the appropriate instrument parameter file is located and selected, |
|---|
| 57 | one must select the bank of data (if more than one) and the bank of the |
|---|
| 58 | instrument parameters (if more than one) using the bank checkbuttons. |
|---|
| 59 | Finally one must enter either the minimum d-space or |
|---|
| 60 | maximum time-of-flight or two-theta to be used from the data (note that |
|---|
| 61 | this value can be changed later if need be from EXPEDT). A |
|---|
| 62 | good way to do this is to use |
|---|
| 63 | <A HREF="nickelnotes.html#rawplot">RAWPLOT</A> |
|---|
| 64 | to look at the data. This is done |
|---|
| 65 | by pressing the "Run RAWPLOT" button at the |
|---|
| 66 | lower right <A HREF="nickelnotes.html#rawplot">(example).</A> |
|---|
| 67 | This invokes the GSAS RAWPLOT program. Note that you will need to specify the |
|---|
| 68 | same data and instrument parameters file names to RAWPLOT to see a |
|---|
| 69 | plot of the data. |
|---|
| 70 | |
|---|
| 71 | |
|---|
| 72 | When all input is complete, press Add to run program EXPTOOL and read the |
|---|
| 73 | data into the .EXP file. |
|---|
| 74 | |
|---|
| 75 | <BR clear=left> |
|---|
| 76 | <img src="addhs4.gif" ALIGN=LEFT> |
|---|
| 77 | The results from the EXPTOOL are shown in a separate box, so |
|---|
| 78 | that errors can be noted. |
|---|
| 79 | |
|---|
| 80 | <BR clear=left> |
|---|
| 81 | <img src="addhs5.gif" ALIGN=LEFT> |
|---|
| 82 | The above procedure is then repeated for the third bank of data, but this |
|---|
| 83 | time the maximum time-of-flight is changed to 1.5. |
|---|
| 84 | <P>After Add is pressed, the EXPTOOL results are |
|---|
| 85 | displayed and then the histogram panel is |
|---|
| 86 | updated so that the diffraction parameters |
|---|
| 87 | for each of the two histograms can be examined |
|---|
| 88 | (see below). |
|---|
| 89 | <BR clear=left> |
|---|
| 90 | <img src="addhs6.gif"> |
|---|
| 91 | <BR clear=left> |
|---|
| 92 | There is one deviation in the above |
|---|
| 93 | compared to the tutorial in the GSAS manual. |
|---|
| 94 | In that tutorial the |
|---|
| 95 | data compression factor is set to 2 for the |
|---|
| 96 | first histogram, averaging pairs |
|---|
| 97 | of points to speed up |
|---|
| 98 | the computations. This cannot be done from EXPGUI. |
|---|
| 99 | If desired, it can be done using EXPEDT, but for |
|---|
| 100 | most modern computers this tutorial will still run |
|---|
| 101 | in seconds with no compression. |
