NAME
calibration - manual page for calibration from pyFAI version 0.15.0: 30/01/2018
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: CeO2, Al, ZnO, Si_SRM640d, Au,
quartz, Si_SRM640e, Ni, Si_SRM640c, LaB6_SRM660b, CuO, mock, CrOx, Si, Si_SRM640b, alpha_Al2O3, NaCl,
PBBA, LaB6_SRM660c, Si_SRM640, LaB6, cristobaltite, C14H30O, LaB6_SRM660a, TiO2, Si_SRM640a, Cr2O3, AgBh
or search in the American Mineralogist database: http://rruff.geo.arizona.edu/AMS/amcsd.php The
--calibrant option is mandatory !
positional arguments:
FILE List of files to calibrate
optional arguments:

--no-gui
force the program to run without a Graphical interface
--no-interactive
force the program to run and exit without prompting for refinements
-r, --reconstruct
Reconstruct image where data are masked or <0 (for Pilatus detectors or detectors with modules)
-g GAUSSIAN, --gaussian GAUSSIAN
Size of the gaussian kernel. Size of the gap (in pixels) between two consecutive rings, by default
100 Increase the value if the arc is not complete; decrease the value if arcs are mixed together.
--square

The output of this program is a "PONI" file containing the detector description and the 6 refined
parameters (distance, center, rotation) and wavelength. An 1D and 2D diffraction patterns are also
produced. (.dat and .azim files)
