In this example, saxs_merge is used to join multiple profiles from small angle X-ray (SAXS) experiments.
All steps in the procedure use a command line tool called saxs_merge
. For full help on this tool, run from a command line:
First, obtain the input files used in this example and put them in the current directory, by typing:
(On a Windows machine, use copy
rather than cp
.) Here, <imp_example_path>
is the directory containing the IMP example files. The full path to the files can be determined by running in a Python interpreter 'import IMP.saxs_merge; print(IMP.saxs_merge.get_example_path(''))
'.
These input files are two SAXS profiles. Each is a text file containing the SAXS data in three columns, corresponding to q, l and err respectively.
To do the merge, run from the command line:
A number of output files are produced. For example, data_merged.txt
is a single SAXS profile generated by merging all of the input profiles. summary.txt
shows the parameters used to do the merge.
Profiles can also be merged using the SAXS Merge webserver.
