| This description is meant to inform the community how to layout
| | http://svn.smallangles.net/trac/canSAS/browser/1dwg/tags/v1.0/doc/cansas-1d-1_0-manual.pdf?format=raw |
| the information within the XML files. However, should the
| |
| information in this document and the [[cansas1d.xsd | canSAS 1D SAS XML Schema]]
| |
| differ, the XML Schema will be deemed to have the most correct description
| |
| of the standard.

| | |
| [[Image:cansas1d-v1-1-SASroot.png|thumb|block diagram at SASroot level]]
| |
| | |
| After an XML header, the root element of the file is SASroot which
| |
| contains one or more SASentry elements, each of which describes
| |
| a single experiment (data set, time-slice, step in a series, new
| |
| sample, etc.). Details of the SASentry element are also
| |
| shown in the next figure. Refer to the '''block diagram at SASroot level'''
| |
| for an alternative depiction. See [[cansas1d.xml]] for an example XML file.
| |
| Examples, Case Studies, and other background information are below. More discussion can be found on the [[1D_Data_Formats_Working_Group|canSAS 1D Data Formats Working Group]] page and its [[Talk:1D_Data_Formats_Working_Group|discussion]] page. Details about
| |
| each specific field (XPath string, XML elements and attributes) are described
| |
| on the [[cansas1d_definition_of_terms]] page.
| |
| | |
| === block diagrams ===
| |
| There are block diagrams available to describe the standard:
| |
| *[[media:cansas1d-v1-1-SASroot.png | SASroot]]
| |
| ** SASentry (data set, time-slice, step in a series, new sample, etc.)
| |
| ***Title (for this particular SASentry)
| |
| ***Run (run number or ID number of experiment)
| |
| ***[[media:cansas1d-v1-2-SASdata.png | SASdata]] (this is where the reduced 1-D SAS data is stored)
| |
| ***[[media:cansas1d-v1-3-SASsample.png | SASsample]]

| # canSAS1d/1.0 XML data files will adhere to the standard if they can successfully [[cansas1d_documentation#Validation_of_XML_against_the_Schema | validate]] against the established XML Schema ([http://svn.smallangles.net/svn/canSAS/1dwg/trunk/cansas1d.xsd http://svn.smallangles.net/svn/canSAS/1dwg/trunk/cansas1d.xsd])
| |
| # Q=(4 π / λ) sin(θ) <br> where λ is the wavelength of the radiation and 2θ is the angle through which the detected radiation has been scattered.
| |
| # units to be given in standard SI abbreviations (eg, m, cm, mm, nm, K) with the following exceptions:
| |
| ##um=micrometres
| |
| ##C=celsius
| |
| ##A=Angstroms
| |
| ##percent=%.
| |
| ##fraction
| |
| ##a.u.=arbitrary units
| |
| ##none=no units are relevant (such as dimensionless)
| |
| # where reciprocal units need to be quoted the format shall be "1/abbreviation"
| |
| # axes:
| |
| ##z is along the flight path (positive value in the direction of the detector)
| |
| ##x is orthogonal to z in the horizontal plane (positive values increase to the right when viewed towards the incoming radiation)
| |
| ##y is orthogonal to z and x in the vertical plane (positive values increase upwards)
| |
| #orientation (angles):
| |
| ##roll is about z
| |
| ##pitch is about x
| |
| ##yaw is about y
| |
| # Unicode characters MUST NOT be used
| |
| # Binary data is not supported
| |
| | |
| === Compatibility of Geometry Definitions ===
| |
| | |
| Note: translation and orientation geometry used by canSAS are consistent with:
| |
| #http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system
| |
| #http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-hand_rule
| |
| #http://www.nexusformat.org/Coordinate_Systems
| |
| #http://mcstas.risoe.dk/documentation/tutorial/node6.html
| |
| #http://webhost5.nts.jhu.edu/reza/book/kinematics/kinematics.htm
| |
| | |
| The translation and orientation geometry definitions used
| |
| here are different than those used by
| |
| '''SHADOW''' ([http://www.nanotech.wisc.edu/shadow/ http://www.nanotech.wisc.edu/shadow/])
| |
| where the ''y'' and ''z'' axes are swapped
| |
| and the direction of ''x'' is changed.
| |
| | |
| == XML layout for multiple experiments ==
| |
| | |
| Each experiment is described with a single '''SASentry''' element.
| |
| The brief example below shows how multiple experiments can be included
| |
| in a single XML file. (For the sake of brevity, the data for each experiment
| |
| has been omitted from the example below.)
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| <?xml version="1.0"?>
| |
| <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="example.xsl" ?>
| |
| <SASroot version="1.0"
| |
| xmlns="cansas1d/1.0"
| |
| xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
| |
| xsi:schemaLocation="cansas1d/1.0 http://svn.smallangles.net/svn/canSAS/1dwg/trunk/cansas1d.xsd"
| |
| >
| |
| <SASentry name="071121.dat#S22">
| |
| <!-- contents of the first experiment in the file go here -->
| |
| </SASentry>
| |
| <SASentry name="example temperature series">
| |
| <!-- example with two SAS data sets related to the same sample -->
| |
| <Title>title of this series</Title>
| |
| <Run name="run1">42-001</Run>
| |
| <Run name="run2">42-002</Run>
| |
| <SASdata name="run1">
| |
| <!-- data from 42-001 run comes here -->
| |
| </SASdata>
| |
| <SASdata name="run2">
| |
| <!-- data from 42-002 run comes here -->
| |
| </SASdata>
| |
| <!-- other elements come here for this entry -->
| |
| </SASentry>
| |
| <SASentry name="other sample">
| |
| <!-- any number of additional experiments can be included, as desired -->
| |
| <!-- SASentry elements in the same XML file do not have to be related -->
| |
| </SASentry>
| |
| </SASroot>

| = Documentation and Definitions =
| |
| | |
| * '''Documentation''': [[cansas1d_documentation]] (this page)
| |
| * '''Definitions''': [[cansas1d_definition_of_terms]]
| |
| * '''Block diagrams''': [[cansas1d_documentation#block_diagrams]]
| |
| | |
| == XML Schema ==
| |
| | |
| * '''XML Schema''': defines the rules for the XML file format ([http://svn.smallangles.net/trac/canSAS/browser/1dwg/trunk/cansas1d.xsd TRAC], [http://svn.smallangles.net/svn/canSAS/1dwg/trunk/cansas1d.xsd SVN])
| |
| * [[xsd-documentation.xsl | XSL stylesheet]] (used to extract information shown on the [[cansas1d_definition_of_terms | Schema documentation page]])
| |
| | |
| == XML Stylesheets ==
| |
| | |
| * '''example.xsl''': XSLT stylesheets can be used to extract metadata or to convert into another file format. The default canSAS stylesheet [[http://svn.smallangles.net/svn/canSAS/1dwg/trunk/example.xsl | example.xsl]] should be copied into the each folder with canSAS XML data file(s). It can be used to display the data in a supporting WWW browser (such as Firefox or Internet Explorer) or to import into Microsoft Excel (with the added XML support in Excel). By default, MS Windows binds '''*.xml''' files to start Internet Explorer. Double-clicking on a canSAS XML data file with the '''example.xsl''' stylesheet in the same directory will produce a WWW page with the SAS data and selected metadata.
| |
| | |
| == Foreign Elements ==
| |
| | |
| == Examples and Case Studies ==
| |
| | |
| * [[cansas1d.xml | basic example]]: Note that, for clarity, only one row of data is shown. This is probably a very good example to use as a starting point for creating XML files with a text editor.
| |
| * [[bimodal-test1.xml]]: Simulated SAS data to test size distribution calculation routines.
| |
| * [[cansas1d_casestudy_collagen | dry chick collagen]]: illustrates the minimum information necessary to meet the requirements of the standard format
| |
| * [[cansas1d_casestudy_af1410 | AF1410 steel]]: SANS study using magnetic contrast variation (with multiple samples and multiple data sets for each sample), the files can be viewed from TRAC (no description yet): [http://svn.smallangles.net/trac/canSAS/browser/1dwg/trunk/examples/af1410/ http://svn.smallangles.net/trac/canSAS/browser/1dwg/trunk/examples/af1410/]
| |
| * [[cansas1d-template.xml]]: This is used to test all the rules in the XML Schema. This is probably not a very good example to use as a starting point for creating XML files with a text editor since it tests many of the special-case rules.
| |
| | |
| == Support tools for Visualization & Analysis software ==
| |
| | |
| === IgorPro ===
| |
| | |
| An import/export tool for [http://www.wavemetrics.com/ IgorPro] has been created
| |
| ([http://svn.smallangles.net/trac/canSAS/browser/1dwg/trunk/IgorPro/cansasXML.ipf cansasXML.ipf]).
| |
| You can check out the <nowiki>IgorPro</nowiki> working directory from the SVN server (see below).
| |
| | |
| As of 2008-03-14,
| |
| * test suite of XML files developed
| |
| * the support can import the XML files into IgorPro
| |
| * Development of a GUI (to support the [http://usaxs.xor.aps.anl.gov/staff/ilavsky/irena.html Irena] package) has begun
| |
| * Development to add export capabilities (from IgorPro) back to the cansas1d/1.0 format has begun
| |
| | |
| == Software repositories ==
| |
| | |
| * '''TRAC''': [http://svn.smallangles.net/trac/canSAS/browser/1dwg/trunk http://svn.smallangles.net/trac/canSAS/browser/1dwg/trunk]
| |
