Synchrotron Trip Report

You can easily generate a Synchrotron Trip report from ROCK MAKER to keep complete records of all of your synchrotron trips. When generating the report, you can choose to save the report as a PDF or export it as a CSV file. Exporting the report as a CSV file allows you to modify, edit, and convert the report data as needed. You can also import your edited CSV file data back into the ROCK MAKER application, which can be useful if the report data does not match with the actual experiment data. Learn more how to generate and import a Synchrotron Trip report in this tutorial below.

Importing a Synchrotron Trip report

If the data you have previously exported does not match with the actual experiment data, you can edit your file and import it back into the ROCK MAKER application.

Important

All imported data will automatically overwrite the existing data in Crystal Definition. To prevent any data loss, make sure to save all the data that you need before importing.

• You are running ROCK MAKER version 3.14 or newer.

• You have created a Synchrotron Trip report in CSV file format.

1. Go to the Synchrotron Trips node on the Explorer.

2. Open the desired Synchrotron Trip, then click the Import Crystal CSV button in the Tasks group of the Home tab.

   

   Selecting Import Crystal CSV

   Opening the CSV File

5. In the Import Crystal Data window, click Import.

   Important

   You can only import the CSV file if your data is Valid (displayed in green). If the Status column shows Invalid data (displayed in red), it means that the data has been inputted incorrectly in the CSV source file. Please edit your CSV file data accordingly, save the changes, and try importing again.

   Tip

   If you have a large amount of data, you can use Filter By Status to filter for the valid or invalid data by selecting the desired option in the dropdown list.
