analyzer:

The analyzer command sets the d-spacing of the analyzer based on definitions stored in the configuration file.

The syntax for the analyzer command is

     analyzer name

where "name" must be defined with a corresponding d-spacing in the top-level configuration file.

The top-level configuration file is named configure.ini and is in the same location as the spice.exe executable (most likely c:\program files\spice).  The analyzer entries in the configuration file have the following form:

[Analyzer]
PG002=3.355
PG004=1.6775
BE110=1.5
Si111=3.135
Ge111=3.267
none=0.0


where each entry represents an analyzer name and its corresponding d-spacing.  To add a new entry, simply type in a new name and d-spacing.  To make the program re-read the configuration file, type initialize software.
 

The analyzer command can also be accessed from the GUI by selecting the Experiment tab from the Setup top-level tab.  To change the analyzer d-spacing, the green button at the bottom of the tab must be changed from "Monitoring ... Click to allow changes" to "Changing ... click to monitor".  Select the analyzer name from the blue "Which Analyzer"  pull-down menu and commit the changes by clicking on the blue "Update Parameters" button.
