The handling of bright eye stations is defined by several files.

 

Info.txt

The first 8 lines of this text file contains the size and position of the Bright Eye station in the production line. This is important for a simulated production only and you should not change these numbers.

The rest of the file tells BREIN the number of spectra that are used by this Bright Eye station to do the analysis (Number of spectra). In the example below 3 spectra are used.

For each spectrum the name of the spectrum has to be specified. This name must agree with a spectrum object in the CODE configuration that is used for the analysis work at the Bright Eye station. The next item to be specified is the spectrum option which defines the file format to be used to import the data. Use the following table when setting the spectrum option for a spectrum:

 

    1: Standard format

    2: xy-format

    3: JCAMP format

    4: SpectraCalc format

    5: Perkin-Elmer format (binary)

    6: Zeiss format

    7: OPUS format

    8: Custom format 1

    9: Perkin-Elmer (ASCII)

    10: NanoSpec format

    11: Custom format 2

    12: Custom format 3

    13: NanoCalc format

    14: Ultrascan format

    15: Custom format 4

    16: Jasco format

    17: ---

    18: Hitachi format

    19: Custom format 5

    20: Minolta format

 

Next the the spectrum option you can enter a remote path. If you specifiy a network folder as remote path the Bright Eye will look for new files in this folder. If you leave this item empty the subfolder measurements\BE name\New is scanned for new files to be processed.

The last item to be defined is the default extension. If you specify a default extension (like 'xy', 'dat' or 'spc') the Bright Eye will look for files with this extension only and ignore other files in the directory.

code.wcd

This file is a CODE configuration (CODE is our main software product for analyzing and designing thin film stacks) which contains the method to analyze measured data – in most cases an optical model and a fit routine adapted to the problem to be solved. The names of the fit parameters must agree with the names of the quantities that BREIN is going to determine at this station. Usually the fit parameters obtained by a Bright Eye agree with the parameters which appear  in the definition of the deposition device before the Bright Eye (see above).

 

fit_parameters.fps

This is the fit parameter set that should be used to do the fit for this station. Please read the section about the file bright_eye_inline.ini above.
