pyFAI-calib(1) calibration tool

DESCRIPTION

usage: pyFAI-calib [options] -w 1 -D detector -c calibrant.D imagefile.edf

Calibrate the diffraction setup geometry based on Debye-Sherrer rings images without a priori knowledge of your setup. You will need to provide a calibrant or a "d-spacing" file containing the spacing of Miller plans in Angstrom (in decreasing order). Calibrants available: Ni, CrOx, NaCl, Si_SRM640e, Si_SRM640d, Si_SRM640a, Si_SRM640c, Si_SRM640b, Cr2O3, AgBh, Si_SRM640, CuO, PBBA, alpha_Al2O3, quartz, C14H30O, cristobaltite, Si, LaB6, CeO2, LaB6_SRM660a, LaB6_SRM660b, LaB6_SRM660c, TiO2, ZnO, Al, Au or search in the American Mineralogist database: http://rruff.geo.arizona.edu/AMS/amcsd.php The --calibrant option is mandatory !
