This resulted in unforeseen difficulties which will be discussed in Section 2.4.3. The data analysis program Igor Pro [40] was used to analyze the raw wire scans. The program has the feature that only regions selected by the user are used for curve-fitting. This is convenient for the wire scans since there are multiple peaks and also because there is the possibility of peaks which are partially merged. The program applies a Gaussian fit to the data of the form y(x) = A √ 2πσ e − x−B √ 2σ 2 42 (2.14) To account for the effect of the 45 ◦ angle of the wire scanner on the x and y profiles (the x-y profile requires no correction) the extracted sigmas are divided by a factor of √ 2.
