XOP (X-ray Oriented Programs) is a widget-based driver program that is used as a common front-end interface for computer codes of interest to the synchrotron radiation community.It provides codes for

  • modelling of x-ray sources (e.g., synchrotron radiation sources, such as undu lators and wigglers)
  • characteristics of optical devices (mirror, filters, crystals, multilayers, etc.)
  • multipurpose data visualizations and analyses

Using XOP

To initialize the environment use the module command:

[elx]% module avail
[elx]% module load xray            # among other things add /opt/xray/bin to PATH        
[elx]% which xop
/opt/xray/bin/xop
