Description

Hello,

I am encountering an issue when trying to index a .ebsp pattern file that was produced by Oxford AZtec, version 6.0.x. When I try to run IndexEBSD through the command line, I get the following message:

> * * * * * * warning: some namelist parameters weren't used: patdset * * * * * *
>
> couldn't determine pixel type for patterns in cc90b00e-a139-462d-8515-02d667ad026e.ebsp

When I try to use the EMSphInxEBSD graphical wizard instead of the command line, the program crashes as soon as I enter the .ebsp filename into the "Pattern File" field. The corresponding terminal output is

>Unhandled unknown exception; terminating the application.

These issues occur on both a high-performance compute cluster running CentOS 7 and a laptop running Ubuntu Linux. In both cases, I am using the Debian precompiled binaries for EMSphInx version 0.2. Is the program having difficulty determining the bit depth from the pattern file? I am very interested in getting EMSphInx working with our Oxford EBSD system, so I would welcome any comments or suggestions.

I should note that I have had issues with these AZtec-generated files in EMsoft 5.0.2 as well. In that case, I was able to find a workaround by converting the AZtec .H5OINA file to a NORDIF binary file with kikuchipy. Are there any plans to add NORDIF .dat support to EMSphInx in the future, or any suggestions for getting EMSphInx working with this version of AZtec?

Thanks for your help.
