\section sec_intro Introduction

PEARL Procedures is a suite of Igor Pro procedures developed for data acquisition and data processing at the PEARL beamline at the Swiss Light Source.


\section sec_install Installation

PEARL Procedures are tested on Igor Pro 8.04, 64-bit.
Compatibility with earlier versions of Igor has been dropped.
Please make sure to use the latest release version of Igor Pro.

PEARL Procedures should be installed according to the regular Igor Pro guidelines. Please read the Igor help `About Igor Pro User Files` for details.

- Make a `pearl-procs` directory in your private or shared `User Procedures` folder, and copy the PEARL Procedures distribution there.
- Create shortcuts of the `pearl-arpes.ipf` and `pearl-menu.ipf` files, and move them to the `Igor Procedures` folder next to your `User Procedures` folder.

Igor Pro 9 imports the HDF5 library by default. For earlier versions:

- Find the `HDF5.XOP` (`HDF5-64.xop` for 64-bit) extension in the `Igor Pro Folder` under `More Extensions/File Loaders` (`More Extensions (64-bit)/File Loaders`), create a shortcut, and move the shortcut to the `Igor Extensions` folder next to your `User Procedures` folder.
- Find the `HDF5 Help.ihf` next to `HDF5.XOP`, create a shortcut, and move the shortcut to the `Igor Help Files` folder next to your `User Procedures` folder.
