Please follow the steps in bellow:
1. Down load the sample data from the same website, I.e. http://dell.chem.sunysb.edu/xPolar
there are two data folders, one is "SAXS_Selected" and the other is "bckgrnd". Download these data on to your desktop with the same folder names.
2. Start the program, either in debug mode or release mode, click "File/Open 2D image" and select the detector type to be "MarCCD", this is important since I have ripped off all other detector types, click any one of files in "SAXS_Selected" folder.
3. Once you load in the image, click "View/3D view", there will be tool window pop up and a blue rectangle showing on the image. Move the blue rectangle around and/or change its size to choose the area you want to have the 3D plot, then click the "Do it " button on the tool window. There will be a 3D plot showing up.
4. You can maneuver the 3D plot a bit and try to save the image by click one of the icons on the tool strip. Once you save the image, try to open the saved file with other software, there should have no banner in the saved image.
5. Close all the open windows, and then click "open script file". There will be a window pops up. You click "Load" button to open the script file. The script file is in the subfolder of the application folder, the file name is "Generate3DImages.ipy". After loading the file, click "Run", you will encounter some error related to the file path names, after you correct these errors in the upper editable panel and the click "Run" again, the script start to generate the 3D plot and save to file in the background.
6. Try to access these generated files. You may see there is a "Evaluation Copy" in the image. If you don't see that, probably is because you have the valid develop copy of the Measurement studio, you may have to try to install/deploy the application on the computer of customer who does not have the Measurement Studio installed.
Please let me know if you have any questions about the application.
