----- header of xus.pro extracted on: Fri May 31 15:31:05 2013 ----- Documentation for /scisoft/xop2.3/src_idl/sources/xus.pro ----- =============================== Xus ======================================== Xus is an widget based graphical user interface to calculate spectral properties of ideal undulator insertion devices. DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTROLS IN THE MAIN WINDOW: File: Xus input parameters: This option allows to save the current parameters to a file for later loading. It also allows to save the current parameters as defaults for being used when the application is initialized. In the last case, the file is named "application".xop (where "application " is the name of the current XOP application) and is written in the directory pointed by the XOP_DEFAULTS_DIR environment variable (which must be set). The parameter file is ASCII and can be read and edited with care. US file: This option allows to load/write the current parameter and result files for further calculations. The used file formats are those used by US. Therefore, they can be used to run US without the interface or to import US files created outside the XUS application. Write Files for XOP/Optics: Saves the current undulator spectrum in the SRCOMPE (flux) and SRCOMPW (Power) files to be used for the other XOP application from Optics menu. Quit: to exit from the program Set_Parameters: Set Parameters: to define the parameters for the calculation. The same result is obtained pressing the "Set Parameters" button in the main XUS window. After pressing the ACCEPT button, US starts running. Set Defaults: Sets the default parameters. Show: Display results Plot ...: Plots the US results. View Results: Displays the US result file. Help: Shows the US help and the XUS help (this text). COPYRIGHT: XUS belongs to XOP package and it is distributed within XOP. PLEASE REFER TO THE XOP COPYRIGHT NOTICE REFERENCE: Published calculations made with XOP should refer: M. Sanchez del Rio and R. J. Dejus "Status of XOP: an x-ray optics software toolkit" SPIE Proceedings Vol. 5536 (2004) pp.171-174 http://dx.doi.org/10.1117/12.560903 In addition, published calculations using the US aplication may also cite: P. Ilinski, R.J. Dejus, E. Gluskin and T. I. Morrison SPIE proceedings vol. 2856, pp.15-25, 1996. KNOWN BUGS: When a US calculation producing 3D results is run, the Show/Plot 2D menu gives wrong results (MSR 98-12-04). LAST MODIFICATION: RJD 2008-08-14
