4. SPICE - Source Code

The following zip files contain the source code for SPICE. We are now developing in LabVIEW 2012 SP1. As we change versions, we will include the source code for older LabVIEW versions.

LabVIEW 2012 SP1 (for Windows 7) - version 1.5.0.92 - as of June 27, 2017: spice_code_labview_2012_ver1.5.0.92_(6-27-2017).zip

LabVIEW 2012 SP1 (for Windows 7) - version 1.5.0.4 - as of Dec. 2, 2013: spice_code_labview_2012_ver1.5.0.4_(12-2-2013).zip

LabVIEW 8.2.1 - version date - June 12, 2007: spice_code_lv_82_12June07.zip

LabVIEW 7.1.1 - version date - Feb. 2, 2006: spice_LabVIEW_7.1.1_2Feb06.zip

This self-extracting zip file will allow a user to install SPICE running on a Virtual Triple-Axis: Virtual_SPICE_TAS.exe.

If you extract the above code into C:\spice, you can run the virtual triple-axis by opening the LabVIEW vi located at C:\spice\spice_code\common\code\Launch_Spice\launch_spice.vi

6. Loaders for SPICE data files:

(a) MATLAB:

The following 2 files provide a method for loading SPICE data into MATLAB:

spiceload.m
spicedata.m

Copy these 2 files into you working directory or some location in the MATLAB path.

Usage:

[x, y, err, monitor, xlab, ylab]=spiceload(filespec)

where filespec has the form:

'filename,<x column name>,<y column name>,<Monitor name>,<Normalization factor>'

Examples:

[x, y, err, monitor, xlab, ylab]=spiceload('HB1_exp0058_scan0012.dat')            
            Loads the specified file with defaults

[x, y, err, monitor, xlab, ylab]=spiceload('HB1_exp0058_scan0013.dat,default,default,monitor,20000')
            Loads the specified file with x and y as defaults normalized to 20000 monitor counts       

[x, y, err, monitor, xlab, ylab]=spiceload('HB1_exp0058_scan0010.dat,e,detector,monitor,400000')
            Loads the specified file with x=e, y=detector normalized to 400000 monitor counts
