1. We use flexible BRUKER conception for spectrum files.
Each spectrum has file with intensity data and file with spectrum parameters;
both files have the same name, but different extensions ("*.spc" and
"*.par").
For additional information (for instance, for the positions of spectrum peaks)
corresponding files with another extensions can be created.
2. Reserved extensions of spectrum files:
Algebraic spectrum
*.spa,
spectrum with corrected Baseline
*.spb,
spectrum in "byte" (Bruker) format
*.spc,
spectrum Derivative in original format *.spd,
spectrum after resolution Enhancement *.spe,
Filtered spectrum in original format *.spf,
Integrated spectrum in original format *.spi,
spectrum in "Single" (DOS) format
*.sps,
spectrum in XY-ASCII format
*.spx,
spectrum in Y-ASCII format
*.spy.
Corresponding extensions of peaks-files are "*.pk" + last letter of spectrum file.
3. View_Spc supports the following formats of
spectrum data:
- binary "Byte" format of "*.spc"-file with spectrum intensity values
only - original format of spectrum file for Bruker equipment;
- binary single (or DOS) format of "*.spc"-file with spectrum intensity values
only - format of high dynamic diapason (it is used by many programs, including Bruker's
WIN_EPR);
- Y-ASCII format of "*.spc"-file with spectrum intensity values only;
- XY-ASCII format of "*.spc"-file - two columns with the values of X and Y
coordinate of the spectrum (magnetic field and intensity or frequency and intensity).
Two last formats are convenient for using in all powerful graphical programs (ORIGIN,
GRAPHER,...).
To convert spectrum data from one format to another, you should just read the spectrum and save it in desirable format!
4. Reserved words for spectrum parameters in "*.par" file (for the case, if
you will type it manually):
CRYSTAL
%STOICH.
DEFECT
%DEFECT
THETA
PHI
TEMP_K
COMMENT
ns1(ENDOR)
ns2(ENDOR)
Only first 4 characters are used for parameter identification.
In View_spc you can create a lot of useful files with extracted or additional information.
1. "*.pk?" file with the positions of spectrum peaks.
2. Several derivative of original spectrum files:
Algebraic spectrum
*.spa,
spectrum with corrected Baseline
*.spb,
spectrum Derivative in original format *.spd,
spectrum after resolution Enhancement *.spe,
Filtered spectrum in original format
*.spf,
Integrated spectrum in original format *.spi.
3. "*.gr?"- special file with the dependency of line characteristics on any
of spectrum parameters for all selected spectra in the chosen directory.
It collects positions, width and intensities of the lines from "*.pk?"-files and
values of spectrum parameters from "*.par"-files and prepares the file with
sorted data, which you can see and analyze with the help of FIntGraf program.
The main destination of the procedure - to obtain "*.grt"-file with angular
dependency of spectra ("Road map"), but you can built also dependencies on
microwave power, temperature and so on ("*.grv"-files).
In "View/Limits..." dialog you can state limits for numerical and text
parameters for the spectra: if selected parameter for a "*.par"-file is inside
of chosen limits, the corresponded "*.pkc" and "*.par" files are
treated, if not - are ignored.
4. "*.gvp"-special file with all parameters of all spectra in the chosen directory. You can use this procedure for the control of treated spectra or for other purposes.
Common input file for these programs (with the extension "gfd") has to contain the next data:

Output "*.grm" file contain angular dependencies in three perpendicular planes ZX, XY, YZ - road map.
In addition to output "*.grt"-file (see Output files of Fields) the program can create detailed "*.geh" file with the positions of energy levels and corresponding wave functions.
POWDER program can creates:
"*.grv" - file with angular dependencies of resonance magnetic fields for spiral
rotation;
"*.spy" and "*.par" - files with simulated powder spectrum and it
parameters
The file with the extension "gpr" has input data of your task and results of
fitting:
parameters of spin-Hamiltonian with corresponding estimation of "error bars".
Data file for FIntGraf has simple structure:
All strings before "같같같" are ignored (� - is "Alt+_).
First string after "같같같" is used as "Name of example".
Second string is name of the argument. If the first letters of argument is "T"
or "t" the values of angles "Theta" from table of data will be used,
else - angles "Phi".
Third string contain the name of the function.
Fourth string is name of third characteristic of spectra. Usually it is the intensity of
lines.
On the fifth string the frequency at which were observed or for which were calculated
these spectra must be present. It is needed for estimation of effective g-factor values
for any points on screen.
6-th and 8-th strings are special delimitors.
7-th string contain full information about data in the table (descriptor string). Capital
letters of descriptors on this string is analized, after that corresponding to descriptors
values are read from the table of data.
Each string of data must be begin with "blank"; in another case an information
on this string is ignored as commentary.
Last string of file is again delimitor (mark of end of data file). Short example of
*.grt-file:

The program allows you to manipulate on graphic screen with the data of
"*.grt"-files.
It can extract all visible on the screen points - position of resonance fields (or
frequences) with corresponding angles, intensities and widths - from one or several input
files and put them in one special file.
It can extract also only points selected manually with the help of the mouse.
It allows to delete coinciding points of two graphics, i.e. "subtract" from file
A those resonance fields, which are close to the fields in file B. For example, you can
delete from the file with experimental angular dependencies all resonance fields, which
close to theoreticaly calculated ones!
You can shift your data in X- or Y-directions (field/frequence or angle), erase artefacts
or noices and so on. Results of all these manipulations you will see on the screen and can
save in special "*.grt"-file.
