Hi Vitor,
Sorry, it's not possible to import v3 DRS into iolite v4. This is because v3 DRS are written in Igor Pro's custom programming language, and creating a converter would be nearly impossible.
However, writing a new DRS in iolite v4 is much simpler:
- v4 uses python as the scripting language which is much easier to learn and use
- We have added many more helper functions to make writing DRS easier in v4. For example, there is now a
compileDownhole()
function (documented here) that will fetch all the values of a selection group so that you can use e.g. SciPy to fit a curve to the data to do your own downhole correction.
I would recommend checking out the examples at https://github.com/iolite-LA-ICP-MS/iolite4-python-examples, and the iolite Python API documentation at https://iolite.xyz/docs/api/api.html.
If you have any questions, please post them here on the forum so that other can learn from your experience too.
Best regards,
Bence
