XA Online Documentation, Guided Tour "xsplit"

xsplit

  1. setenv XENVIRONMENT ./Xsplit
  2. xsplit &

    Both commands are necessary to start xsplit. The first one sets the so called "resource file" whereas the second one executes the program.

    Result
    The xsplit window will pop up and show two empty text input fields, RHF source table and Destination directory, and four push buttons. The RHF source table is the file where you want to take your data from, i.e. the file you like to split up into separate atom data files. The Destination directory is the directory where you want to save the atom data files.

  3. Click with your left mouse button on the push button beside the RHF source table input field.

    Result
    A file selection box will pop up where you can browse your directories.

  4. Select the file [...]/xa/DATA/rhf.tables and click on OK.

    Result
    The file selection box vanishes and the selected file is displayed in the RHF source table input field.

  5. Select the Destination directory input text field and enter /tmp. (Alternatively, you can click again on the push button beside the input field and select a directory.)

  6. Click with your left mouse button on OK.

    Result
    The mouse pointer changes into a watch which means that the "splitting up" process has started. Shortly afterwards a message window will pop up and tell you that the Extraction [has] finished.. After clicking on OK it disappears again. The text input fields are erased and you can quit xsplit now.

  7. Click on the Cancel push button.
  8. Select a shell window and enter ls /tmp.

    Result
    The xsplit window disappears and the contents of the /tmp directory are listed. There you will find for each atom a new subdirectory where the atom data files were saved.
