SANS & USANS Analysis with IGOR Pro
*New Version - March 2012*
Current Release v7.10 - March 2012An upgrade of the analysis and reduction software has been completed based on user suggestions. These changes enhance the tools available to our users in order to plan better experiments, and permit faster, more complex analyses of their scattering data than are currently possible.
- All of the SANS and USANS Reduction and Analysis procedures are now in a single download package that includes an installer and updater.
- Installation package: NCNR_SANS_package.zip
- Installation instructions: Install_Instructions.txt
- Watch the installation movie: Install_SANS_Package
- A Quick Start guide to the package is highlighted in video documentation (you need to have QuickTime installed to view these movies)
- What's New?
- Manuals are included in the download package, or are available separately:
- SANS Reduction Help File (PDF)
- USANS Reduction Help File (PDF)
- Data Analysis Help File (PDF)
- Model Functions Help File (PDF)
- Simulation Help File (PDF)
- Polarized Beam Reduction (PDF)
- Real Space Modeling (PDF)
- 2-D Resolution (PDF)
- Some of the new features in the package are highlighted in video documentation (you need to have QuickTime installed to view these movies)
- IGOR Pro and the free demo version of Igor are available from WaveMetrics.
This new release requires Igor Pro 6.2*The performance enhancements make use of new features available only in Igor 6.2 and hence the package will not run on Igor 3, 4, 5 or 6.1 and lower. If you need older, no longer supported versions of the macros, you can download SANS Analysis v3, SANS Reduction v5 and USANS Reduction v2.
If you reduced or analyzed your data using the Igor Macros, please include the following reference: "Reduction and Analysis of SANS and USANS Data using Igor Pro", Kline, S. R. J Appl. Cryst. 39(6), 895 (2006).
SANS and USANS Data Reduction and Analysis software, written by Steve Kline, is provided by NIST Center for Neutron Research in a visual and user-friendly form. The NCNR software is compatible with Macintosh/PC platforms and requires that IGOR Pro be installed. You do not have to purchase IGOR Pro - a free demo version of IGOR Pro is available, and will produce ASCII output that can easily be read in by other graphics or analysis software packages. IGOR Pro (* see disclaimers below) is a commercial software product available to Mac/PC users.
