Data from
the SuperESCA beamline is
written as a pair of ASCII files. To convert the data, both files must be
placed in the same directory. Select the Convert option from the File menu or Convert
button on the top toolbar and, using the Convert to VAMAS Filedialog
window, move to the directory containing the two files. Select the file with
the extension _allX and press the Open button on the Filedialog. A new .vms file will
be created in the same directory as the original data files. The directory
containing the two data files must therefore have write permission for the user
running CasaXPS.
The
experimental context (time, pressure, temperature, etc) from the _allX file is added to the VAMAS file as a set of
experimental variables. When viewing the VAMAS file in CasaXPS, to step through
these experimental variables, hold the Control Key down and press the F1
function key. With each press of the F1 function key, the next experimental
value is displayed in the right-hand-side of the Experiment Frame. Once all the
experimental values have been viewed, a further press of the F1 function key
will start the sequence from the beginning once again.
