Trouble running an .ipf

Share icon

Thanks for reading this post. I have been using Igor for the past 2 years, mainly for handling big data sets and peak fitting. I have come across an .ipf that I am very interested in running. However, I have failed after several attempts at running the code. The .ipf I'm interested in can be downloaded here: http://usaxs.xray.aps.anl.gov/staff/ilavsky/AtomicFormFactors.html

I expected the program to appear in the macro drop down menu. I have tried placing the .ipf in both the Igor Procedures and User Procedures folders, then compiling, but I never see a new program add to the macro menu.

I must be missing several (if not many) steps. Any comments or directions to specific help topics would be greatly appreciated!
If you are talking about the CromerLiberman procedure file, it adds an X-ray submenu to the Analysis menu. I discovered this by looking at the Menu declaration in the procedure file.

The simplest way to use this is to put it in the Igor Procedures folder and restart Igor. Execute this for the relevant help:

I feel a little silly. I was expecting the menu to appear in macros, not analysis. Shows how much I know. I had the X-ray tab there all along!

Thank you so much. I greatly appreciate it.
