IDL Procedures written or modified specifically for X17B2

Below is a complete list of the programs in the d:\idl_procedures\X17B2_EPICS folder on the beamline server, along with a brief description of what they do. Those which may be obsolete and/or have not been recently tested are in red.

• diffraction_and_scan.pro
  • An IDL script for doing a sample scan during diffraction data collection
• filecounttest.pro
• idl_startup.pro
• idl_startup_new.pro
• idl_startup_old.pro
• imaging_and_diffraction_1.pro
  • An IDL script for collecting images, and diffraction data at one sample position
• imaging_and_diffraction_1a.pro
  • Another IDL script for collecting images, and diffraction data at one sample position
• imaging_and_diffraction_2.pro
  • An IDL script for collecting images, and diffraction data at two sample positions
• imaging_and_diffraction_3.pro
  • An IDL script for collecting images, and diffraction data at three sample positions
• imaging_and_diffraction_new.pro
• imaging_and_diffraction_scan.pro
  • An IDL script for collecting images, and scanning the sample during diffraction data collection
• labelnomca.pro
  • An IDL procedure which creates a PostScript file with a plot of the current data (4 detectors) and the text of the parameters label, and sends it to the beamline printer. It also creates a text file with the text of the parameters label, and sends it to the beamline label printer. This is the same aws X17B2_label.pro, except that it can be invoked manually, without saving an MCA data file.
• label_bak_kjb.pro
• label_test.pro
• linear_heat.pro
  • An IDL script for linearly heating the sample during data collection
• load_dxp.pro
  • An IDL script for loading the dxp parameters into the crate, after a crash
• load_dxp_control.pro
  • An IDL script for loading the dxp control parameters into the crate, after a crash
• load_edf.pro
  • An IDL script for copying the EDF file created by PLOT85 into the crate, replacing the calibration parameters in the detector
• load_thermocouple_cal.pro
  • An IDL script for replacing the thermocouple calibration parameters
• maklab.pro
• med_save.pro
• multisave.pro
• page.pro
  • An IDL procedure, called by Write_file, which creates a PostScript file with a plot of the current data (4 detectors) and the text of the parameters label, and sends it to the beamline printer
• print_parameters.pro
  • An IDL script which creates a PostScript file with the text of the parameters label, and sends it to the beamline printer.
• save.pro
• write_file.pro
• X17b2_increment_filename.pro
• X17B2_label.pro
  • An IDL procedure, called by X17B2_write_file, which creates a PostScript file with a plot of the current data (4 detectors) and the text of the parameters label, and sends it to the beamline printer. It also creates a text file with the text of the parameters label, and sends it to the beamline label printer
• X17B2_write_file.pro
  • An IDL procedure which replaces the write-file procedure in Mark Rivers' MCA program. The primary difference is that it adds a call to X17B2_label.pro (above) so that every time an MCA spectrum is saved, a page of the plots is created and printed, and a label for the lab notebook is also printed.
• x17_multiscan.pro
• x17_multiscan_inc.pro
