ISIS PC Controlled Instrument Data File Access

Once you have entered details of the run numbers of the files you require, you will be redirected to a secure connection where:

You will need to reply Yes to the question of "do you want to accept a certificate"
When prompted, you will need to enter a username and password that was issued to you at ISIS - you may use either a Federal ID or VMS account.

If you do not have an account, you should contact the ISIS User Office (isisuo@rl.ac.uk) and request a "Federal ID" - please quote your experiment number (also known as the RB or proposal number) when requesting the account.

If everything is correct then, depending on the option you selected, your files will either be assembled into a ZIP file and you will be prompted to save this to your local disk, or you will be offered a page of links from where you can download them individually. Note that there is a limit on the number of files (100) and, in the case of the ZIP file, total size (300Mb) that can be downloaded in one go. If you are accessing large (e.g. MAPS) RAW files you may need to use the individual file links method for the RAW files and then download all the relevant LOG files in a single ZIP file.

RAW Data File Access

This form gives you access to both the RAW data files (e.g. GEM12345.RAW) and sample environment log files (e.g. GEM12345_Temp1.TXT) collected at ISIS - you just need to select the instrument name, type of files (RAW/LOG) and then enter the numbers of the first and last runs you collected.

PLEASE NOTE: This form only allows you to access data files created on ISIS instruments up to and including cycle 10/2 (August 2010). For data created in cycle 10/3 (March 2011) and beyond you need to use the new STFC data portal.

Processed Data File Access (e.g. GEM Xpress access)

This form gives you access to processed data created at ISIS following e.g. a GEM Xpress experiment. You need to supply the proposal number of the experiment (leaving out any RB or XB prefix) and the name of the instrument used.

The processed data index was last rebuilt at 13:45 Monday 09 January GMT - files added after this time will not yet be available for download.

The current local time is 08:35 Saturday 28 January GMT
