GENLAUE - Parameter Refinement & Spot Prediction

Abstract

The program GENLAUE is used to refine the crystal orientation by matching observed and predicted spot positions on a Laue pattern. The program is run interactively on a terminal which has ANSI and T4010 graphics support. Where required, Laue diffraction images are displayed as threshold plots on the graphics screen. Where the match between the predicted and observed spot positions is not close, the cursor is used to input, manually, observed and predicted spot positions to be used in the orientation refinement. When the match is sufficiently good, the program can automatically search for the observed spot positions close to the predicted spot positions for a set of non-spatially overlapped nodal spots and use these determined positions for further refinement. The process is iterated until a satisfactory refinement is achieved and a list of predicted spots is written out to a pair of files, the so called .ge1 and .ge2 files, for use by subsequent programs such as the integrated intensity determination program INTLAUE.
