\section sec_intro Introduction
This page describes the data processing steps of angle-scans using the PEARL Procedures.
The description relies on using the command line regardless of available GUIs.
\section sec_import Data reduction
The goal of this step is to import raw data and at the same time eliminate the energy dimension.
We want a two-dimensional wave
where the first dimension is the angle axis of the detector
and the second dimension is the sequence of measurements,
scanning one or multiple manipulator angles.
The second dimension requires additional one-dimensional waves
that describe the polar, tilt and azimuthal angle setting of the manipulator
for each dimension index.
The processing steps depend on the complexity of the measured spectrum.
The user may have to adopt one of the predefined or a custom procedure accordingly.
Here, we describe two procedures that may cover many generic cases
or that can serve as a starting point for a refined, customized procedure.
However, any procedure that produces the datasets mentioned above is, of course, a valid approach.
For instance, you could load the complete three-dimensional ScientaImage dataset,
and generate the two-dimensional dataset using your own procedures.
\subsection sec_import_basics Basic steps
The central import functions are @ref psh5_load_reduced and @ref psh5_load_dataset_reduced.
The first form is sufficient if the file contains just one scan and region.
Further regions/scans need to be loaded using the second form.
The first form is also exposed in the PEARL data explorer window.
The functions require a data reduction function and processing parameters as arguments.
Some particular reduction functions are described further below.
More can be found in the source code (or obtained from other users).
A list of functions that look like reduction functions can be got from @ref adh5_list_reduction_funcs.
The basic call sequence looks as follows.
Substitute the arguments in angle brackets as necessary.
You may have to analyse a reference spectrum or the complete ScientaImage
to figure out the processing parameters beforehand.
First form:
@code{.ipf}
setdatafolder root:
string sparam
sparam = "<param1=1.5;param2=test;>"
psh5_load_reduced("<igor-datafolder>", "<igor-filepath>", "<filename>", <reduction_function>, sparam)
@endcode
Second form:
@code{.ipf}
// open the file
setdatafolder root: // or other parent folder
variable fid
string sparam
fid = psh5_open_file("<igor-datafolder>", "<igor-filepath>", "<filename>")
// load metadata for scaling
psh5_load_scan_meta(fileID, "<scan 1>")
newdatafolder /s /o attr
psh5_load_scan_attrs(fileID, "<scan 1>")
setdatafolder ::
// load and reduce dataset
sparam = "<param1=1.5;param2=test;>"
psh5_load_dataset_reduced(fid, "<scan 1/region1>", "<ScientaImage>", <reduction_function>, sparam)
// close the file
psh5_close_file(fid)
fid = 0
@endcode
\subsection sec_import_intlinbg Peak integration over linear background
The @ref int_linbg_reduction function converts a two-dimensional Scienta image I(angle, energy)
into a one-dimensional angle distribution I(angle).
For each angle slice, it calculates a linear background.
Then, it integrates the difference between the original data and the background over a specified interval.
The function requires the following, fixed parameters:
Parameter | Description | Typical value
----------|-------------|--------------
Lcrop | size of the low-energy cropping region | 0.11 (fixed mode)
Lsize | size of the low-energy background region | 0.2
Hcrop | size of the high-energy cropping region | 0.11
Hsize | size of the high-energy background region | 0.2
Cpos | position of the peak center | 0.5
Csize | size of the center region | 0.3
All parameters are relative to the size of the image (length of the energy interval)
and must be in the range from 0 to 1.
The cropping region is cut away from the image for the rest of the processing.
This is necessary to remove the dark corners in fixed mode
but can be neglected in swept mode (cropping size = 0).
The low and high background regions are adjacent to the cropping regions on either side.
The function calculates two fix points of the linear background in the center of each background region.
The intensity value of each fix point is the average intensity in the background region.
The peak region is integrated over the integral given by the Csize parameter centered at Cpos.
The background-subtracted peak integral is returned in ReducedData1.
ReducedData2 receives the error estimate of the peak integral (assuming Poisson statistics).
\subsection sec_import_peakfit Peak fitting
The @ref gauss4_reduction function converts a two-dimensional Scienta image I(angle, energy)
into a one-dimensional angle distribution I(angle).
For each angle slice, it performs a Gaussian curve fit with up to four components on a linear background.
To improve the stability of the fit, the peak positions and widths are kept fixed
while the amplitudes of the peaks and the background parameters are variable
but constrained to reasonable values (positive amplitude).
Furthermore, the function can optionally do a box averaging over three slices.
The function requires the following, fixed parameters:
Parameter | Description
----------|------------
rngl | lower limit of the fit interval
rngh | upper limit of the fit interval
npeaks | number of components
pos1 | center energy of peak 1
wid1 | width of peak 1
pos2 | center energy of peak 2
wid2 | width of peak 2
pos3 | center energy of peak 3
wid3 | width of peak 3
pos4 | center energy of peak 3
wid4 | width of peak 3
ybox | box size of slice averaging (1 or 3)
The peak parameters should be determined beforehand from fitting a reference spectrum,
or the angle-scan integrated over all angles.
Peak positions and widths have to be specified only up to the given number of peaks.
The data reduction procedure returns the peak integrals
(amplitude times width times square root of 2) in waves
named ReducedDataN where N is a numeric index from 1 to npeaks.
The waves starting with an index of npeaks+1
contain the corresponding error estimate of the peak integral.
\subsection sec_import_custom Custom reduction functions
See the documentation and source code of @ref int_linbg_reduction, @ref gauss4_reduction and
@ref adh5_default_reduction for help on writing custom reduction functions.
To integrate your function with the PEARL data explorer,
you have to provide an additional function that prompts for reduction parameters
such as @ref prompt_int_linbg_reduction, for example.
Since reduction functions cannot be called from the command line,
it is redommended to also write an adapter function for testing.
\section sec_norm Normalization
The goal of the data normalization is to get a (still two-dimensional) dataset
that ideally contains intensity variations due to diffraction features and statistical fluctuations only.
In particular, instrumental variations should be removed.
In some cases, it may be necessary to preserve the overall polar dependence of the intensity.
Note that this latter case is not properly treated with the methods described here.
Depending on the quality of the measured data,
only some of the following processing steps are necessary.
Use your own judgement.
\subsection sec_norm_prep Preparations
Start by creating a new copy of the data and inspecting it:
@code{.ipf}
duplicate ReducedData1, NormData1
ad_display_profiles(NormData1)
@endcode
To update the display after changes to NormData1:
@code{.ipf}
ad_update_profiles(NormData1)
@endcode
\subsection sec_norm_crop Detector angle range
Crop the detector angle axis to a useful range (usually about -25 to +25 degrees):
@code{.ipf}
crop_strip(NormData1, -25, 25)
@endcode
\subsection sec_norm_angle Normalize detector angle
Remove inhomogeneity of the detector in the detector angle axis.
This component may also include a contribution from the sample.
If your raw data shows a flat distribution, this step is not necessary.
@code{.ipf}
normalize_strip_x(NormData1, smooth_method=4, smooth_factor=0.15, check=2)
@endcode
Note that the argument <code>check=2</code> causes the function to generate
two check waves but not to modify the original data.
To inspect the check waves:
@code{.ipf}
display check_dist, check_smoo
ModifyGraph rgb(check_dist)=(0,0,0)
@endcode
Vary the <code>smooth_factor</code> (between 0.1 and 1.0)
until it follows the instrumental curve
but does not affect diffraction features.
Then set <code>check=1</code> to apply the normalization to <code>NormData1</code>.
\subsection sec_norm_wobble Azimuthal variation (wobble)
Reduce the effect of azimuthal wobble (misaligned surface) on intensity.
A misaligned surface may cause a sinusoidal variation of the intensity as a function of azimuthal angle with a 360&degree; period.
A strong azimuthal variation may affect the polar normalization in the next step.
The azimuthal normalization can be based on a restricted range of polar angles (theta range).
You have to find out which value works best for your sample.
@code{.ipf}
normalize_strip_phi(NormData1, :attr:ManipulatorTheta, :attr:ManipulatorPhi, theta_offset=-8.8, theta_range=10, check=2)
@endcode
Note, however, that his function does not correct for angle shifts induced by the misalignment!
\subsection sec_norm_theta Polar dependence
Remove the polar angle dependence (matrix element and excitation/detection geometry).
@code{.ipf}
normalize_strip_theta(NormData1, :attr:ManipulatorTheta, theta_offset=-8.8, smooth_method=4, smooth_factor=0.5, check=2)
@endcode
Use the check waves and the <code>check</code> argument as described above.
\section sec_plot Binning and plotting
\subsection sec_plot_basics Basic steps
You can bin and plot the data in one step:
@code{.ipf}
pizza_service(NormData1, "Nickname1", -8.8, 0.5, 6)
@endcode
or two steps:
@code{.ipf}
pizza_service(NormData1, "Nickname2", -8.8, 0.5, 6, nograph=1)
display_hemi_scan("Nickname2")
@endcode
The benefit of the latter is that you have more control over the graph through optional arguments.
In particular, you can select the projection or hide the ticks and grids.
See @ref display_hemi_scan for details.
The @ref pizza_service function requires the waves with manipulator positions
in a specific place, namely <code>:attr:ManipulatorTheta</code> (for the polar angle),
and the normal emission values as function arguments.
If you have moved the waves, or if you have subtracted the offsets yourself,
use the alternative @ref pizza_service_2 function.
Additional parameters of the @ref pizza_service function allow for rotational averaging,
larger angle steps (default 1 degree),
or the creation of metadata including a notebook for xpdPlot.
Note there is currently a bug in the nick name argument of some of the following functions.
If the lines shown below do not work,
try to switch to the data folder that contains the generated polar plot data,
and call the function with an empty nickname <code>""</code>.
\subsection sec_plot_refine Refinements
To remove high polar angles above &theta; = 80 from the plot (and data):
@code{.ipf}
trim_hemi_scan("Nickname1", 80)
@endcode
Modify the pseudocolor scale by changing the <code>polarY0</code> trace:
@code{.ipf}
ModifyGraph zColor(polarY0)={mod_values, *, *, BlueGreenOrange, 0}
ModifyGraph zColor(polarY0)={mod_values, -0.2, 0.2, BlueGreenOrange, 0}
@endcode
To set the contrast to clip specified percentiles of the data points,
use the @arg set_contrast function:
@code{.ipf}
set_contrast(2, 2, graphname="graph_Nickname1", colortable="BlueGreenOrange")
@endcode
\subsection sec_plot_interp Interpolation
Polar plots can also be interpolated to a rectangular matrix,
which may in some cases produce nicer images:
@code{.ipf}
interpolate_hemi_scan("Nickname1")
display_hemi_scan("Nickname1", graphtype=3, graphname="intp")
matrix = sqrt(x^2 + y^2) <= calc_graph_radius(80) ? matrix : nan
ModifyImage matrix ctab= {*,*,BlueGreenOrange,0}
@endcode
The <code>matrix =</code> line optionally removes artefacts at high polar angles.
Replace the cut-off angle with your own.
\subsection sec_modulation Modulation function
To calculate the modulation function and substitute it in the graph:
@code{.ipf}
setdatafolder Nickname1
calc_modulation(values, factor1=pol, factor2=az)
ModifyGraph zColor(polarY0)={mod_values,-0.2,0.2,BlueGreenOrange,0}
@endcode
\section sec_export Data export
\subsection sec_export_plot Export picture
The following line is an example of how to export a graph window.
Click on the desired graph window, then issue the following command,
substituting the file path and file name as appropriate.
@code{.ipf}
SavePICT/P=home/E=-5/B=144/O as "some_filename.png"
@endcode
\subsection sec_export_data Export processed data
The following line saves the dataset to an Igor text file.
The file contains all data necessary to recreate a polar plot without further processing.
@code{.ipf}
save_hemi_scan("Nickname1", "home", "some_filename")
@endcode
For structural optimization using the PMSCO software,
it is necessary to generate an ETPI file.
There is currently no special function for this.
Instead, you have to create and set an energy wave,
@code{.ipf}
duplicate pol, en
en = 123.4 // kinetic energy of the photoelectron
@endcode
and write the four waves <code>en, pol, az, values</code> to a general text file.
Be careful about the ordering of the waves!
You will also have to rename the file to the <code>.etpi</code> extension
because Igor always saves with <code>.txt</code> extension.
If you have a wave with statistical errors, add a fifth column and use the <code>.etpis</code> extension.
@code{.ipf}
Save /G /M="\n" /O /P=home en, pol, az, values, sig as "Nickname1.etpis.txt"
@endcode
