SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

14       X-ray  maps  were stored at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility
15       as a set of images in ESRF Data Format  (EDF).  The  image  rows  being
16       associated  to points of a horizontal sample scan and the image columns
17       to the spectrum channels.
18
19       This tool allows to convert a set of files wrapped by the PyMca Toolkit
20       as SPEC file format, and therefore without sample position information,
21       to European Synchrotron Radiation Facility data format (EDF).
22
23       Its usefulness is nowdays somehow limited because recent  PyMca  devel‐
24       opements  allow  to  reshape nspectra x nchannels datasets in the tools
25       making use of the shape information (pymcaroitool, pymcapostbatch).

EXAMPLES

29       mca2edf
30           Open a dialog to select input files, output directory and the
31           number of spectra on each horizontal row.
32
33       mca2edf --outdir=/tmp --mcastep=2 *.mca
34           Convert all the .mca files in current directory to a set of EDF
35           files containing two spectra. The output is placed in /tmp
36
37       mca2edf --outdir=/tmp --mcastep=2 --listfile=input_file
38           Same as before but applied to all the files listed in input_file.
39           Each line of input_file must contain a valid file name.
