Introduction

Peakref is a refinement program. Input consists of reflection impact positions on a 2d area detector. The program refines various variables (cell parameters, cell orientation, detector position, crystal position) with a simplex method. The program tries to minimize the differences between the observed impact positions and the calculated positions (see glossary for an explanation of the residue functions).

Input files

The initial cell parameters and orientation have to be supplied in a rmat file. Peak positions must be supplied in pk file(s).

Output files

The refined detector variables can be saved in detalign.vic files.
The refined cell parameters and orientations can be saved in rmat files.

Getting Started

Use npeakref for simple cases. If it gets too difficult for the GUI, you can use the commandline version of the program directly. Start the program with the command peakref. Once peakref is started, it checks whether the file peakref.init exists in the directory where the program is located. If this file exists, it will be executed.
Next, the program checks whether the file peakref.init exists in the current directory. If this file exists, it will be executed.
Commands may be specified on the command line.
See examples.
