py4d-browser-edax

A py4d-browser plugin for loading EDAX TSL binary EBSD pattern files (.up1 / .up2).

Installation

pip install py4d-browser-edax

Requires py4d-browser to already be installed.

Usage

Launch py4d-browser as usual:

py4DGUI

A new "EDAX UP1/UP2..." entry appears in the Plugins menu. Click it, select your .up1 or .up2 file, and the dataset loads into the browser.

File format support

Feature	Support
.up1 (8-bit uint patterns)	✓
.up2 (16-bit uint patterns)	✓
Version 1 files (no embedded scan shape)	✓ — prompts for rows × cols
Version ≥ 3 files (scan shape in header)	✓ — automatic
Hex-grid scans	✓ — loaded as 1-D navigation with warning
Scan step size (µm) from header	✓ — set as R-space calibration

Version 1 files

Version 1 UP files do not store the scan dimensions in the header. When you open one the plugin will ask you to enter the scan shape (rows, cols). Leave the field blank to load all patterns as a flat 1-D stack.
