The Metis program

The METIS program is modal, providing slightly different functionality for HERFD, XES, and RXES data sets or for individual images. At the command line, it is invoked with a command line argument to put it into the correct mode.

Mode purpose
xes non-resonant emission spectroscopy
herfd high resolution XANES
rxes RIXS plane
mask process an individual elastic image

To start METIS in XES mode, provide the xes argument:

metis xes
../_images/metis_startup.png

METIS, at startup, invoked in XES mode

Similarly, to begin METIS in hrfd, rxes, or mask mode, do

metis herfd
metis rxes
metis mask
