Wavelength chooser dialog

The Wavelength chooser dialog selects a wavelength to perform data collection at. You can select an absolute wavelength or scan across an absorption edge and select a point from the scan.

Wavelength chooser dialog.

Common wavelengths
This is a list of wavelengths that have been specified in the resource file. You can select a wavelength by clicking on it. In the resource file, the resource is *cUIwavelength*listItems and the wavelengths are specified as a single string with wavelength separated by a colon as in:

*cUIwavelength*listItems: 1.54178 Cu Kalpha:0.71069 Mo

Note the wavelength may be followed by an optional comment.

Option
This selects the option or method of designating the wavelength.
Absolute
Move to the wavelength absolutely.
Peak
Scan near the selected wavelength and move to the peak position. Check with your data collection manager to see if this option works on your system since it requires special coding for your hardware.
Midpoint
Scan near the selected wavelength and move to the inflection point. Check with your data collection manager to see if this option works on your system since it requires special coding for your hardware.
Optimize
Select whether to optimize intensity through the collimator after moving to the selected wavelength or not. Check with your data collection manager to see if this option works on your system since it requires special coding for your hardware.
Wavelength
You may enter any allowed wavelength desired here instead of using the list selection mechanism. Any number greater than 100 will assumed to be in electron volts (eV), while one less than or equal to 100 will assumed to be in Ångstroms.
