When .mda format files are requested, the instrument calibration file appropriate for processing the data is also sent. This contains the wavelength, 2theta offset and sensitivity correction for each detector.
When .asc format files are requested, the instrument calibration file appropriate for processing the data is also sent. This contains the wavelength, 2theta offset and sensitivity correction for each detector.
The GSAS data file produced in this manner has all twelve detectors merged into a pseudo-single detector intensity values. Uncertainties are reduced to account for the number of contributing detectors. Corrections are applied to the data to correct for the offsets between detectors, differences in sensitivity and minor differences in wavelength (typically on the order of ~1 eV or equivalently 0.003%). Data are extrapolated onto a regular spaced grid with interpolation between adjacent points. If merging is not wanted, CMPR can be used to creating 12 bank GSAS files from .mda or .asc files.
When .fxye format files are requested, instrument parameter files (.prm) are also generated. Several different extensions are commonly used for GSAS files, for example .raw, .gsa or .gsas. Bob used .fxye for this. Feel free to rename it if you wish.
