XAID is a user-friendly package to perform XAFS data analysis. It is intended for visualization, averaging, extraction, filtering, etc. of single or multiple sets of raw data. For a more sophisticated analysis, including fitting to a model or ab-initio calculations, other codes should be used. See the XAFS Software Catalog and chose your preferred code.
If you are at ESRF (www.esrf.fr), the
programs are
installed in the NICE cluster and may be accessed by any workstation.
For that enter (this command is also good for any Unix installation):
xop xaid
or (in case this fails):
/sware/exp/xop-2.0/xop xaid
If XAID starts correctly, a window like this one should appear:
From this window you should start the different XAID modules using the Start... menu.
XAID can be freely installed in virtually any kind of machine. It is distributed as a part of the XOP software package. Two steps must be followes (see XOP website /www.esrf.fr/computing/scientific/xop)
