Summary:

Specialized tool to read, extract and analyze data stored in spec files, a file format commonly used in X-ray and neutron scattering experiments.

Description:

ScanRead: This specialized tool provides a front-end to extract and plot data stored in Spec files. Spec file format is native to a UNIX-based data acquisition program used worldwide for data collection from x-ray and neutron scattering experiments (http://www.certif.com). The ScanRead tool provides a friendly interface for viewing spec files, creating quick plots, and for extracting data in a form that can be easily read by Origin. This distribution also includes a number of Origin script tools for data analysis, organized in the form of an Origin menu selection. ScanRead, and the associated Origin script files were developed by Dr. K. A Ritley in the research group of Prof. Dosch, at the Max-Planck Institute for Metals Research in Stuttgart, Germany (http://dxray.mpi-stuttgart.mpg.de/site/index_en.html)

Probably THE most useful piece of scientific software I have ever used.
