10.37. Read EDAX EBSD Data (.ang)
Group (Subgroup)
IO (Input)
Description
This Filter will read a single .ang file into a new Image Geometry, allowing the immediate use of Filters on the data instead of having to generate the intermediate .h5ebsd file. A Cell Attribute Matrix and Ensemble Attribute Matrix** will also be created to hold the imported EBSD information. Currently, the user has no control over the names of the created Attribute Arrays. The user should be aware that simply reading the file then performing operations that are dependent on the proper crystallographic and sample reference frame will be undefined or simply wrong. In order to bring the crystal reference frame and sample reference frame into coincidence, rotations will need to be applied to the data.
Default TSL Transformations
If the data has come from a TSL acquisition system and the settings of the acquisition software were in the default modes, he following reference frame transformations may need to be performed based on the version of the OIM Analysis software being used to collect the data:
Sample Reference Frame: 180o about the <010> Axis
Crystal Reference Frame: 90o about the <001> Axis
The user also may want to assign un-indexed pixels to be ignored by flagging them as “bad”. The Threshold Objects Filter can be used to define this mask by thresholding on values such as Confidence Index > 0.1 or Image Quality > desired quality.
Note About Sample Grid
OIMAnalysis can create EBSD data sampled on a hexagonal grid. The user can look in the .ang file into the header (those lines starting with the “#” character) for a line that is:
# GRID: HexGrid
If the user’s .ang files are hexagonal grid files then they will need to run the Convert EDAX Hex Grid to Square Grid (.ang) filter to first convert the input files square gridded files.
