ENERGY, FIELDS, PARAMS, FAIW, View_Spw need for their work a file with input data
and have a menu with an item for reading of data files. Just after loading they show the
list of the proper files. You can choose one of them and see the result of this program
work on screen.
You can type input data for COSEUL in the program spreadsheet.
For illustration we give also a lot of examples of data files for all programs. In
"V_EXAMPL.*" you can find additional examples of
data and result files, which can help you to understand the possibilities of
Visual EPR programs.
Input and output data files for each program have usually special formats and extensions.
FIELDS use <*.gep> -input files. The files with calculation results of
FIELDS (<*.grt>, <*.grm> - file) can be used as input data for FAIW.
Input data files for PARAMS.exe have extensions <*.gep>,
<*.grt> and <*.grm>.
View_Spw.exe has a system of special names for original spectrum, for filtered, derivated, integrated and simulated spectra.
WARNING: Programs of Visual EPR pakage create one or more output files.
Lite versions together with the input data files are packed in ZIP-file:
V_EPR.zip.
To install the programs you should copy this file in any directory and unzip it.
Lite versions may be distributed free of charge.
They are working
programs, however, they have
significantly decreased possibilities in a comparison with professional version
and watermarks.
Lite versions of ENERGY, FIELDS and PARAMS are programs with restrictions on
parameters of Spin-Hamiltonian:
they use only isotropic g-tensor, isotropic hyperfine tensor and only one of components of
axial crystal field (b20).
Lite version of View_Spw and FAIW do not write results on hard disk and have
watermarks.
There are several reasons, why you should prefer Visual EPR, but not other programs.
There are several reasons, why you should prefer Visual EPR, but not other programs.
1. The programs were developed during many years. Could you spend so much time
to write your own program?
2. They have very simple and convenient interface
(they were developed for undergraduate students) and are flexible enough to
solve most of your tasks. For instance, a change of point group symmetry, values
of electron and nuclear spins, number of equivalent centers or any parameters of
spin-Hamiltonian takes few seconds.
3. They are very fast. Using
conventional desktop or laptop you can calculate spectra of the trivalent Gd
or divalent Mn
in few minutes.
4. They have a lot of unique hints inside, which help you to
manage with many difficulties of spectra treatment.
5. They have been tested
in several spectroscopic groups from different countries.
6. They work under Windows operational system (from Windows XP to Windows 8).
You can treat measured spectra and build angular dependence using View_spw.exe, simulate spectra and compare experimental and calculated angular dependencies using Fields_w.exe, and prepare angular dependencies for publication using FAIW.exe.
These everyday programs will facilitate and accelerate experimental data treatment, enhance trustworthiness of obtained results, improve accuracy of determined characteristics, and increase efficiency of conducted research in laboratories, which need in characterization of magnetic properties.
