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.
Installation
============
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.
- Find the `HDF5.XOP` extension in the `Igor Pro Folder` under `More Extensions/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.
PEARL Procedures has been tested under Igor Pro version 6.37 (32-bit). Older versions (particularly prior to 6.34) may not be compatible. Please update to the latest Igor Pro version before reporting any problems.
