Install

After cloning or downloading the macro files, copy them to the designated folders.

    ├ SIDAM.ipf -> Copy to Igor Procedures
    └ SIDAM/    -> Copy to User Procedures

Copy src/SIDAM.ipf and src/SIDAM to the Igor Procedures folder and the User Procedures folder, respectively. If you don’t know where the folders are, choose Menubar > Help > Show Igor Pro User Files in Igor Pro.

Instead of copying the file and folder, you can also make shortcuts or symbolic links to them in the designated folders. This would be useful for updating SIDAM in the future if you clone the files.

If you use Igor Pro 8, you need an extension file. See issue #37.

Launch SIDAM

Launch Igor Pro, choose Menubar > Macros > SIDAM in Igor Pro, and you will find a new menu item SIDAM in the menu bar. If Igor Pro is already running, you need to restart it after installing SIDAM.

Load data file

Choose Menubar > SIDAM > Load Data… > from a File…. Alternatively, you can drag and drop data files into the window of Igor Pro. Supported files are Nanonis files (.dat, .sxm, .3ds, .nsp).

Show data

Choose a wave(s) you want to show in the Data Browser and choose Menubar > SIDAM > Display… > Display Selected Waves. Alternatively, you can press F3 after choosing a wave(s) you want to show in the Data Browser.

Subsequent analysis

Click ☰ in the control bar of a window and you will find menu items of analysis available for the data shown in the window.
