| 25 | 4. Run POWPREF and GENLES |
|---|
| 26 | </H1> |
|---|
| 27 | <H3>POWPREF</H3> |
|---|
| 28 | <img src="powpref2.gif" align=left> |
|---|
| 29 | Before a least-squares refinement can be run, the POWPREF program |
|---|
| 30 | must be run. This program assigns the reflections that are associated with |
|---|
| 31 | each data point in each histogram. For this reason, POWPREF should |
|---|
| 32 | be rerun if the lattice constants change, if peak widths or |
|---|
| 33 | asymmetry parameters change or if you change the range of data |
|---|
| 34 | that you are using in any histogram. |
|---|
| 35 | <P> |
|---|
| 36 | POWPREF can be run in one of three ways. It can be invoked from the |
|---|
| 37 | menu item in the Powder menu (see to the left), or as a button in |
|---|
| 38 | the button bar (see below) or by pressing the Alt-P key combination. |
|---|

|---|
| 43 | <img src="powpref3a.gif"> |
|---|
| 44 | <BR> |
|---|
| 45 | <img src="powpref4a.gif" align=left> |
|---|
| 46 | Once POWPREF is started, a window is opened to watch the program |
|---|
| 47 | progress, as is shown above. |
|---|
| 48 | <P> |
|---|
| 49 | Since POWPREF modifies the .EXP file, |
|---|
| 50 | a message, as shown to the left, is displayed. |
|---|
| 51 | Pressing "Load new" causes the new .EXP file to be reread. |
|---|
| 52 | Pressing "Continue editing" causes EXPGUI to continue to edit the |
|---|
| 53 | previous version of the .EXP file. If more changes are made, and |
|---|
| 54 | the .EXP file is saved, the changes made by POWPREF will be lost. |
|---|
| 55 | POWPREF makes only minor changes to the .EXP file, so there |
|---|
| 56 | is little reason to reject the changes, but if a program, such |
|---|
| 57 | as GENLES has made many incorrect changes to an experiment, the |
|---|
| 58 | "Continue editing" option provides an easy way to keep the .EXP file |
|---|
| 59 | from before the run. |
|---|
| 60 | <BR clear=left> |
|---|
| 61 | <P> |
|---|
| 62 | <H3>GENLES</H3> |
|---|
| 63 | At this point it is possible to run GENLES, to fit the initial background |
|---|
| 64 | (three terms) and the scale factor (1 term). |
|---|
| 65 | Similar to how POWPREF was invoked above, |
|---|
| 66 | GENLES can be run from the appropriate |
|---|
| 67 | button on the button bar, by typing Alt-G, or using the GENLES command |
|---|
| 68 | in the Powder or Xtal menus. As soon as GENLES is started, a box appears |
|---|
| 69 | on the screen showing the refinement status. (See below). |

|---|
| 73 | |
|---|
| 74 | <BR> |
|---|
| 75 | <img src="powpref4a.gif" align=left> |
|---|
| 76 | When GENLES is finished and the window is |
|---|
| 77 | closed, press "Load new" to cause the revised .EXP |
|---|
| 78 | file to be read. (Pressing "Continue editing" would |
|---|
| 79 | reject the results of the refinement.) |
|---|

|---|
| 83 | |
|---|
| 84 | To examine the results of the refinement in more detail, |
|---|
| 85 | consult the .LST file. This can be examined using the |
|---|
| 86 | LSTVIEW program. This program is shown above. Note that the |
|---|
| 87 | contents of the LSTVIEW box are updated as the refinement |
|---|
| 88 | progresses. |
