NXapm_input_ranging¶
Status:
base class, extends NXobject
Description:
Metadata to ranging definitions made for a dataset in atom probe microscopy.
Ranging is the process of labeling time-of-flight data with so-called iontypes which ideally specify the most likely ion/molecular ion evaporated within a given mass-to-charge-state-ratio value interval.
The paraprobe-toolbox uses the convention that the so-called UNKNOWNTYPE iontype (or unranged ions) represents the default iontype. The ID of this special iontype is always reserved as 0. Each ion is assigned to the UNKNOWNTYPE by default. Iontypes are assigned by checking if the mass-to-charge-state-ratio values of an ion matches to any of the defined mass-to-charge-state-ratio intervals.

Structure:
filename: (optional) NX_CHAR
Path and name of the NeXus/HDF5 file which stores ranging definitions.
@version: (optional) NX_CHAR
Version identifier of the file (representing an at least SHA256 strong) hash. Such hashes serve reproducibility as they can be used for tracking provenance metadata in a workflow.
group_name_iontypes: (optional) NX_CHAR
Name of the group (prefix to the individual ranging definitions) inside the file referred to by filename which points to the specific ranging definition to use. An HDF5 file can store multiple ranging definitions. Using an ID is the mechanism to distinguish which specific ranging (version) will be processed. Reconstruction and ranging IDs can differ. They specify different IDs.
