DataOutputFormats

This page descriptions of the details of the output data formats

File output formats for pinhole SANS (and VSANS)

• 1-D I(Q) output
• 1-D I(phi) output
• 2-D I(Qx,Qy) output
• 2-D I(pixel) output
• 2-D I(pixel) output formatted for GRASP

canSAS data output formats, 1D and 2D (SANS, USANS, and VSANS):

• Examples of canSAS output formats

These are the canSAS output formats as defined in 2012. Descriptions of the XML 1D output format and the HDF5/Nexus 2D output format are given at the canSAS link above. These output formats have been implemented in the macros are available for al instruments.

HDF5/Nexus format is the preferred output format for reduced VSANS data since all detector panels and a single unified panel are included in a single output file. The output file is Nexus compliant and can be read into Igor or sasView for analysis.

File output formats specific to USANS:

• USANS I(Q) slit-smeared output
• USANS I(Q) desmeared output

File output formats specific to VSANS:

• 1D Narrow Slit Data
• 1D Pinhole with White Beam
• 1D Pinhole with Super White Beam
