r16030b1 rbeb6da4 9 9 some significant changes from previous versions. Further, as promised, it 10 10 marks the end of support for 32 bit operating systems and is only 11 available for 64 bit operating systems. 12 13 With this version the change to the new model API and plugins infrastructure 14 begun with 4.0 is essentially complete (though extensions are in the works 15 and more are likely they should remain backwardly compatible with previous 16 versions of SasView). 17 18 NOTE: Old-style plugin models, including old sum|multiply models will continue 11 available for 64bit operating systems. With this version the change to the 12 new model API and plugins infrastructure begun with 4.0 is essentially 13 complete (though extensions are in the works and more are likely they 14 should remain backwardly compatible with previous versions of SasView). 15 NOTE: old style plugin models, including old sum|mul mocels will continue 19 16 to be supported (i.e. SasView will be able to run them) in 4.x. However, 20 17 the expectation is that such support will be removed in 5.0 and everyone 21 18 is strongly encouraged to convert their custom models to the new API. 22 23 Finally, the changes to orientation angles and orientational distribution 24 definitions are now also complete. 25 19 Finally, the new orientation angles and orientatinal distribution is now 20 also complete. 21 26 22 - Changes 27 23 - The infrastucture for calculating 2D patterns from 3D orientated objects … … 31 27 aligned objects has been completely overhauled. It now differs from 32 28 previous versions. 33 - Plugin models, including sum |multiply models, have completely migrated29 - Plugin models, including sum/multiply models, have completely migrated 34 30 to the new infrastructure. NOTE that 3.x type models as well as early, 35 31 intermediate 4.x type models, including those generated by sum|multiply … … 45 41 understanding the new orientation framework. 46 42 - Problems with the computation of magnetic scattering from some 47 objects have been rectified.

Of particular note are: 249 244 250 245 - Correlation Function Analysis (Corfunc) 251 This performs a correlation function analysis of one-dimensional SAXS/SANS data,252 or generates a model-independent volume fraction profile from the SANS from an 253 254 255 A correlation function may be interpreted in terms of an imaginary rod moving 256 through the structure of the material. ÃŜââ¬Å1D(R) is the probability that a rod of 257 length R moving through the material has equal electron/neutron scattering 258 length density at either end. Hence a frequently occurring spacing within a 259 260 261 A volume fraction profile \Phi(z) describes how the density of polymer 262 263 246 This performs a correlation function analysis of one-dimensional SAXS/SANS data, 247 or generates a model-independent volume fraction profile from the SANS from an 248 adsorbed polymer/surfactant layer. 249 250 A correlation function may be interpreted in terms of an imaginary rod moving 251 through the structure of the material. G1(R) is the probability that a rod of 252 length R moving through the material has equal electron/neutron scattering 253 length density at either end. Hence a frequently occurring spacing within a 254 structure manifests itself as a peak. 255 256 A volume fraction profile \Phi(z) describes how the density of polymer 257 segments/surfactant molecules varies with distance from an (assumed locally flat) 258 interface. 264 259 265 260 - Fitting of SESANS Data 266 Data from Spin-Echo SANS measurements can now be loaded and fitted. The data will267 be plotted against the correct axes and models will automatically perform a Hankel 268 261 Data from Spin-Echo SANS measurements can now be loaded and fitted.

In release 4.1 however only models712 with symmetry (e.g. a=b) have been converted to the new definitions.713 The rest (a <> b <> c - e.g. parellelepiped) maintain the same714 definition as before and will be converted in 4.2. Note that715 orientational distribution also makes much more sense in the new716 framework. The documentation should indicate which definition is being717 used for a given model.705 long standing issues and comments. In release 4.1 however only models 706 with symmetry (e.g. a=b) have been converted to the new definitions. 707 The rest (a <> b <> c - e.g. parellelepiped) maintain the same 708 definition as before and will be converted in 4.2. Note that 709 orientational distribution also makes much more sense in the new 710 framework. The documentation should indicate which definition is being 711 used for a given model. 718 712 - The infrastructure currently handles internal conversion of old style 719 models so that user created models in previous versions should continue720 to work for now. At some point in the future such support will go away.721 Everyone is encouraged to convert to the new structure which should be722 relatively straight forward and provides a number of benefits.713 models so that user created models in previous versions should continue 714 to work for now. At some point in the future such support will go away. 715 Everyone is encouraged to convert to the new structure which should be 716 relatively straight forward and provides a number of benefits. 723 717 - In that vein, the distributed models and those generated by the new 724 plugin model editor are in the new format, however those generated by725 sum|multiply models are the old style sum|multiply models. This should726 also disappear in the near future718 plugin model editor are in the new format, however those generated by 719 sum|multiply models are the old style sum|multiply models. This should 720 also disappear in the near future 727 721 - The on the fly discovery of plugin models and changes thereto behave 728 inconsistently. If a change to a plugin model does not seem to729 register, the Load Plugin Models (under fitting -> Plugin Model730 Operations) can be used. However, after calling Load Plugin Models, the731 active plugin will no longer be loaded (even though the GUI looks like732 it is) unless it is a sum|multiply model which works properly. All733 others will need to be recalled from the model dropdown menu to reload734 the model into the calculation engine. While it might be annoying it735 does not appear to prevent SasView from working..722 inconsistently.

At this time the 737 core shell parellelepiped is known to have the C shell effectively fixed738 at 0 (noted in documentation) while the triaxial ellipsoid does not seem739 to reproduce the limit of the oblate or prolate ellipsoid. If errors are740 found and corrected, corrected versions will be uploaded to the741 marketplace.742 731 core shell parellelepiped is known to have the C shell effectively fixed 732 at 0 (noted in documentation) while the triaxial ellipsoid does not seem 733 to reproduce the limit of the oblate or prolate ellipsoid.
