This manual can be used in a number of ways:-
1. Introduction - Describes workspaces and contains a clickable image of the basic operations that LAMP performs.
2. Reading in Data - Instructions for starting LAMP, using the Data Collector Area, saving and emptying workspaces.
3. Displaying Data - Using the Display Workspace Area to plot data, perform cursor operations, set preferences, and print.
4. Special Display Interfaces - Basics of the separate LAMP interfaces Scroll Spectra, Radial Integration, Superplot, STR-fit Gk-fit Qens-fit, Atomic structure editor, Miller planes, phonons and vibrations animation, Tomography ...
5. Manipulating Workspaces - Using from Layout features the Formula-Entry Area and the Do/Xbu input text to write and execute fomulae and macros, obtain information about data, save and exit LAMP sessions.
6. Common Workspace Functions - The syntax used to manipulate data, from maths functions and normalising, to plotting data. Help from Idl contains a decription of all available native functions and all about syntax.
7. Other Display interfaces and "TOF legacies" - Filling HKL reciprocal space by series of monicristal diffractions , Magnetic scattering cross-section example , George-Layout , Mask & Group , Tof reduction legacies.
8. LAMP Macros - Making command files and compiled IDL procedures that can be executed in LAMP.
9. Frequently Asked Questions - Plots, printing, instrument-spectrum numbers and what to do if LAMP shows no response.
