ROD

This shows two examples in which .rod files from the Raman Open Database (ROD) are converted to NeXus .nxs files.

Convert example data

  • Clone the GitHub repository and install the latest development version
  • Go into the root folder of this repository (default pynxtools-raman)
  • Copy and paste: 
    dataconverter examples/database/rod/rod_file_1000679.rod src/pynxtools_raman/config/config_file_rod.json --reader raman --nxdl NXraman --output examples/database/rod/rod_example_neuxs.nxs
  • Inspect the created NeXus file. Some warnings may be present.

Convert downloaded ROD files

Convert single file

Using the pynxtools dataconverter with the pynxtools-raman reader plugin:

dataconverter <PATH_TO>/1000679.rod src/pynxtools_raman/config/config_file_rod.json --reader raman --nxdl NXraman --output rod_example_nexus.nxs

Convert multiple files

Take a look at the bash script and make it executable: chmod +x convert_all_rod_to_nxs.sh.

Call the script ./src/download_rod_files/convert_all_rod_to_nxs.sh.
