Dear User,
this video-manual will help you to understand reduction of SANS data measured at KWS-1 & KWS-2 instruments operated by JCNS in Garching.
You could repeat this procedure yourself using instruction described and shown below.
Best regards,
Vitaliy Pipich.
P.S. This page is not expected to be “perfectly polished”, but the main idea is to give “fast introduction” with minimal volume of text.
If you want to help to optimise, edit, correct mistakes of any kind just contact me.

Output ⇒ QtiKWS project file
KWS1 rawdata were kindly offered by Artem Feoktystov.

in MASK-tab we could generate matrixes where there “active” pixels are defined. Only these pixels will be used during radial averaging (1 used, 0 unused). Buttons “Calculate” creates/overwriting “current matrix”. Buttons “Calculate as” creates/overwrites matrix with new name. The mask parameters are pre-defined. Parameters of the mask can be changed later… DAN-Light | Mask Tab

here we calculate detector sensitivity for samples measures at 1.7m (sens-2m) with run-number of Plexiglass 54910, empty beam 54911, and dark current 54912. Transmission is calculated here by formula saved in Options. For samples measured at sample-to-detector distances above 3.7m we generate sensitivity matrix sens-4m (Plexi 54900, EB 54901, B4C 54902).

in this example we have 4 “real” samples: Lutz05, Lutz025, Lutz0125, and Toluene measured in 3 configurations C8D8, C4D4, and C8D2. In current step we will fill table of configurations….

actually, the most important step of the data reduction is generation of a script-table. Every line in the script-table corresponds to a measured file (“run”). The script-table is generated by passing all measured files (you want to reduce) through created ( in Step #4) table-of-configurations. Every selected file is compared with defined configurations. In case of matching of a current file and a configuration (in current example we have three instrument-configurations) full information from configuration-table will be copied to script table.
if you correctly named files, your script-table is ready. If not, you could modify sample-names and recalculate transmissions “Tr”… |

fast way of how to merge data measured at three configurations are shown here. “script-mergingTemplate” table is automatically generated during radial averaging. In DANP-light | Merging tab: we read this table to interface; select 30% overlap; and merge data…
