File Converter Tool
Description
This tool converts file formats with the Q data and intensity data in separate files, into a single CanSAS XML file.
The input files can be:
- Single column ASCII data, with lines that end with a digit, comma or semi-colon.
- BSL/OTOKO formatted data files.
Using the Tool
- Select the files containing your Q-Axis and Intensity-Axis data
- Chose whether the files are in ASCII or BSL format
- Chose where you would like to save the converted XML file
- Optionally, input some metadata such as sample size, detector name, etc
- Click Convert to save the converted file to disk
Note: If a BSL/OTOKO file with multiple frames is selected for the intensity-axis file, a dialog will appear asking which frames you would like converted. You may enter a start frame, end frame & increment, and all frames in that subset will be converted. For example: entering 0, 50 and 10 for the first frame, last frame, and increment respectively will convert frames 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 & 50. To convert a single frame, enter the same value for first frame & last frame, and 1 as the increment.
