Convert X-ray spectroscopy data and metadata to NeXus¶
Who is this tutorial for?¶
This document is for people who want to use this reader as a standalone standardize their research data by converting these into a NeXus standardized format.
What should you should know before this tutorial?¶
- You should have a basic understanding of FAIRmat NeXus and pynxtools
- You should have a basic understanding of using Python and Jupyter notebooks via JupyterLab
What you will know at the end of this tutorial?¶
You will have a basic understanding how to use pynxtools-xps for converting your XPS data to a NeXus/HDF5 file.
Steps¶
Installation¶
See here for how to install pynxtools together with the XPS reader plugin.
Running the reader from the command line¶
An example script to run the XPS reader in pynxtools
:
! dataconverter \
--reader xps \
--nxdl NXmpes \
--input-file $<xps-file path> \
--input-file $<eln-file path> \
--output <output-file path>.nxs
TODO: add more steps!
Congrats! You now have a FAIR NeXus file!
The above-mentioned parsing is also integrated into the NOMAD research data management system. Feel invited to try out the respective tutorial [here]((tutorial/nomad.md)
