Monte Carlo simulator

Description:

TRACER includes all the essentials needed to combine Monte-Carlo Point Spread Functions (PSFs) and process PSFs into one effective PSF that describe a particular process, to archive and maintain these functions.

 Generated PSFs may then be loaded into Beamer.

Capabilities:

• Monte Carlo simulator that allows to compute the electron-solid interaction part of the exposure
• Archive/maintain/manage all point spread functions
• Visualization tool that allows to make a judgment on the quality of the PSF

• Facilitator to combine electron PSFs and process PSFs into an effective PSF or to separate out the process contribution PSF from an experimental PSF

Invoking:

On the CNF conversion computers, the current version of GenISys LayoutLAB can be invoked with any of the following commands (don't type in the dollar sign, that is the command prompt):

$ tracer

Documentation:

Material Archive:

You will not have file system permissions to write into the default location for the Material Archive. Instead, you should create a local directory and copy the files from the Tracer install location's MaterialArchive folder to that local directory. And then, in the TRACER preferences, set the directory you created as the Material Archive.

After making the above changes, you may have to expand/collapse the tree in the left pane of TRACER a few times.

You will also need to update the archive preference in LayoutBEAMER to point to your local copy of the Material Archive.

You can create a local copy of the archive using the following terminal commands:

$ mkdir ~/MaterialArchive
 
# Determine the TRACER version number with:
$ ls -l /opt/local/TRACER
 
# Substitute in the version number for <version_number>
$ rsync -av /opt/local/TRACER/<version_number>/bin/MaterialArchive/ ~/MaterialArchive/
