How to load raw data? #1

Closed thomasaarholt closed 6 years ago

The tutorial is excellent, but leaves a glaring hole for users who wish to apply StatSTEM to their own data. How do I import my own data?

It would be nice if StatSTEM could make use of pre-existing code for importing the common formats for STEM, for instance Gatan's .dm3/.dm4 or the TIA .ser.

Barring that, a simple instruction for the formatting of either the .mat or .txt files would be much appreciated.

Dear Thomas,

Thank you for downloading the StatSTEM software and using the tutorial.

We have implemented a SER-reader for TIA files in the latest version of StatSTEM, version 2.1. For Gatan's .dm3/.dm4 files, a reader will follow in a future release of StatSTEM. For now, when opening in digital micrograph your image, you can save them as a text file. This file is suitable for StatSTEM.

Another option is to use one of the existing readers from the Mathworks community to load raw data files. In a next step, when the file is loaded into MATLAB, you can save the variable containing the image as a .mat file. This file can directly be loaded into StatSTEM

We hope this helps

Being able to load .tif files would also be nice.

Thank you for the suggestion, we will include this in the next version (2.2)
