--- name: "sasview" section: "1" platform: "linux" package: "sasview" version: "6.0.1-2" release: "Debian 13 (Trixie)" platforms: ["linux"] url: "https://new.carta.tech/sasview" --- # sasview(1) SasView Documentation ## NAME sasview - SasView Documentation ## DESCRIPTION SasView is software for the analysis of Small-Angle Scattering (SAS) data. It fits analytic functions describing different types of material microstructure to experimental data in order to determine the shape, size and degree of ordering. SasView also includes tools for calculating scattering length densities, slit sizes, resolution, fringe thicknesses/d-spacings, the (Porod) invariant ('total scattering'), and distance distribution functions. ## SASVIEW USER DOCUMENTATION **NOTE:** In Windows use \[Alt\]-\[Cursor left\] to return to the previous page ### Menu Bar The menu bar at the top of the *SasView* window gives you access to additional features of the program: ### File The File option allows you load data into *SasView* for analysis, or to save the work you have been doing. Data can be loaded one file at a time, or by selecting multiple files, or by loading an entire folder of files (in which case *SasView* will attempt to make an intelligent guess as to what to load based on the file formats it recognises in the folder!). A *SasView* session can also be saved and reloaded as an ‘Analysis’ (an individual model fit or invariant calculation, etc), or as a ‘Project’ (everything you have done since starting your *SasView* session). ### Edit The Edit option allows you to: - • undo/redo your recent changes; - • copy and paste parameters between *SasView* analysis windows; - • copy parameters from a *SasView* analysis window to the Clipboard as either tab-delimited text (compatible with Microsoft Excel) or LaTex-wrapped text; - • generate a summary ‘Report’ of the most recent analysis performed; - • reset parameter values in the P(r) Inversion analysis page. ### View The View option allows you to: - • show the Batch Fitting Results Panel if it has been closed; - • show/hide the Data Explorer Panel; - • show/hide the Toolbar of icons below the Menu Bar; - • select the default location that *SasView* looks in for data to analyse (the *SasView* installation directory, the initial default, or a custom folder). NB: any change only takes effect when *SasView* is restarted; - • change the default assignment of categories (*Shapes*, *Shape-independent*, *Structure Factor*) for fitting model functions. ### Tools The Tools option provides access to a comprehensive range of tools and utilities. See tools for more information. ### Window The Window option allows you to select which *SasView* windows are visible. ### Analysis The Analysis option provides access to the key functionality of *SasView*: - • Model Fitting; - • P(r) Inversion; - • Invariant Analysis; - • Correlation Function Analysis (*SasView* 4.1 and later) See analysis for more information. ### Fitting The Fitting option allows you to: - • create a new FitPage; - • change optimiser (under Fit Options); - • view fit parameter correlations, distributions, and convergence traces (under Fit Results); - • create/edit a Plugin Model. Additional functionality is available under this menu option during particular types of model fitting, including: - • setting up a Constrained or Simultaneous Fit; - • combining a Batch Fit (an obscure capability); - • setting up Chain Fitting. ### Help The Help option provides access to: - • this help documentation; - • a tutorial on using *SasView* (in pdf format); - • information on how to acknowledge *SasView* in publications; - • information about the version of *SasView* you are using; - • the marketplace; - • a check to see if there is a more recent version of *SasView*.
