Problem reading stitched HKL *.CRC files #163

Open cashaw-mt opened 8 years ago

cashaw-mt commented 8 years ago

Attempting to import some maps stitched together using HKL Channel5 'Stitcher' utility cause the following error: “Could not detect file format. Please contact one of the maintainers of MTEX and send him a copy of your files.” Channel 5 (e.g Tango, Mambo etc.) also cannot open the stitched files.

The problem seems to be in Channel5... not MTEX since I can import the constituent 'tiles' that have not been stitched. Only EBSDInterp (M. Pearce) seems to be able to open the stitched files. Ultimately this really isn't your problem (that would be HKL/Oxford)... but I'm wondering if you can help me troubleshoot this behavior of MTEX.

I am not helping much by saying this, but I have had the same problem in the past. That is... Sometimes a dataset I processed in channel 5 became unopenable, and I never figured out why. Similar to your experience, the data could not be opened by any program (although I've never tried ebsd interp yet). In a couple cases, however, mtex was able to open files that I could not open in Channel 5 software suite. I agree that the channel 5 software is the culprit, and I would add that it generally feels cumbersome and outdated. Anywhoooo... Yah... Just chiming in to say you're not the only one... But I, myself, don't have a reason or any help to give.

Ralf is greatly helpful, tho, and I bet he will have some insight to share.

Cheers, Zach
