AS F - Average images - find statistics & Q factor map

(01/02/96)

PURPOSE

Adds a series of images representing single, aligned particles or patches of a crystal lattice, and computes a Q factor map. Images have to have power-of-two dimensions (internally FFT is used).

SEE ALSO

AS [Average images - find & save variance]
AS AD [Average images - add to the existing average - find variance.]
AS DC [Average images - find & save variance, doc. file]
AS R [Average images - find & save variance, better]

USAGE

.OPERATION: AS F

FOR IMAGES:
.ENTER FILE PREFIX OR TEMPLATE (EG. PIC****): IMA***
[Enter the template for the image file series.]

.ENTER FILE NUMBERS: 1-10,19-78
[Self explanatory.]

.AVERAGE FILE: AVA001
[Enter the name of the output file where the average of the image series is to be written.]

.Q FACTOR FILE: QFA001
[Enter the name of the file where the Q factor map (= Q factor computed at each point of the reciprocal lattice) is to be put.]

.INDICES FOR VECTOR LISTING: 2,2
[A single reflection may be specified for which the cumulative Q factor is calculated and listed in the DOCUMENT file as a function of the number of transforms added. Enter <Return> or 0,0 if you do not wish to use this option.]

If non-zero indices were entered in the previous line:

.DOCUMENT FILE: DOC001
[Enter document file name which will contain the cumulative Q factor for the Fourier coefficient chosen.]
