Useful STM Programs

A collection of small programs have been written within the group over the years to help with the analysis of STM data. These are made available here. They are supplied "as is", the group can accept no liability for any damage or loss arising through their use nor provide any guarantee as to the fitness for the stated purpose. Please feel free to modify and use the source code and redistribute, so long as original authorship is acknowledged. Please submit bug fixes to the the group. These codes are made available for non-commercial purposes only.

The supplied executables were compiled on a Windows XP machine using the Borland C++ compiler v 5.5.1 Unless otherwise stated they should be run from the command line.

stm2bmp (source not available): Converts Omicron STM files into a bitmap image. The tz and tp files should be in the same directory as the program is run from. You will be asked for the run number.
cits2stm: Takes old format Omicron STS data. This will take a user specified CITS image and convert it to a fake STM image which may then be used with stm2bmp. It will also allow the subtraction of one CITS image from another prior to conversion.
stm2scala: Converts old format Omicron STM files into SCALA format files. For usage type stm2scala help

Useful MEIS Resources

Please note that as above, these resources are supplied with no acceptance of liabilty or guarantee, for non-commercial usees.

For a selection of Igor Pro Macros for use in analysing MEIS data (mainly related to different r-factor comparisons) please see Ian Scott's MEIS page.

crstopov: Produces a basic POVRay view from a MEIS crystal file. This is functional but pretty incomplete.
