Graphic User Interface Development Guide

Learning Videos

The following video recordings of meetings are useful for learning how to use the GUI as a User. A UCAMS account is required to access the videos.

link to video and Points dicussed in the video:

loading a run corresponging to a experiment with a sample.
matching a direct beam run to a sample run, with a discussion of the conditions for a good match/
opening a “reduced file” containing all necessary metada to carry out a reduction workflow.
selecting peak and background regions for a sample run.
explanation of columns “I0”, “NL”, “NR”, “x0”, “xw”, “y0”, “yw”, “bg0”, “bgw”, “Dpix”, “Theta”, and “Dir. run” in the table of loaded runs.
the “polarizer mirror” selector for upstream polarization and “analyzer” selector for downstream polarization.
(desired) selecting a polarization state will determine the input state for the stitching.
(desired) a stitching using all polarization states, i.e., a global fit. In the global fit, the scaling factors are the same for all polarization states, i.e, they are constrained among polarization states.

Qt Designer is the Qt tool for designing and building graphical user interfaces (GUIs) with Qt Widgets (https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtdesigner-manual.html)
