MatrixFileReader XOP
This project aimed at writing a C++ module for Igor Pro from WaveMetrics Inc. for importing proprietary measurement data.
The measurement data of an ultra-high vacuum scanning tunnelling microscope from Scienta Omicron can only be accessed through a vendor C++ library called Vernissage.
The developed MatrixFileReader XOP not only serves as interface layer between Igor Pro and the vendor library but also performs:
- Conversion from raw DAC values to physical quantities (nm, A, etc.)
- Scan direction assignment of the data, derived from different measurement parameters
- Access to all meta data of the measurement
- Easy and fast access to new measurement data
The development of the XOP is continued under a FLOSS-License. Details can be found at Github.
A comprehensive suite of regression and unit tests ensures the correct behaviour of this crucial part of laboratory equipment.
