SGToolsSGTools is a suite of tools for data processing and analysis of X-ray scattering experiment including small angle (SAXS), wide angle(WAXS) and grazing incidence(GISAXS) mode.
Latest News
The released version 2.10 develops new function for importing edf dataformat. This release also fixes the known issues reported in 2.02: the coordinate selected for calibration was out of range in the program Ins calibrate. The background correction for one dimensional curve are added in the new version.
