[RMCProfile-users] Help with data2config

[Martin Dove]

Just to explain WHY Helen’s advice here is essential.

GSAS has output designed for the days of line printers with continuous paper feeds and perforations between pages. We needed to extract the Bragg histogram from the GSAS output rather than from the input for reasons I don’t recall but are to do with the fact that what comes out of GSAS is what we want, and what goes into GSAS is not.

But because the output format from GSAS is horrible, there is only so much programming of the parsing of the data one can do. Moreover, GSAS simply adds things to files rather than create new files, so if you do not delete the .LST file before you do this task then data2config will only read the first part of the file and not skip over the stuff you don’t want. I also delete the .TLB file first but maybe I am being too cautious.

Best wishes

Martin

In fact what the manual says is that once data2config is run, the program should write '1' and end but when I am running it for even the tutorial example of SF6, it isn't writing '1' but it does produce the required files. However, when I do the same with my material, CeNbO4.25, neither is program writing '1'  nor is it producing all files. It however produces .inst and .rmc6f files. I even tried to download the program anew, but it isn't behaving properly.
