The SASsample element

Name	Type	Occurrence	Description	Attributes
ID	string	[1..1]	Text string that identifies this sample.
thickness	float	[0..1]	Thickness of this sample.	unit={unit} [1]
transmission	float	[0..1]	Transmission (\(I/I_0\)) of this sample. Note that there is no unit attribute as this number is dimensionless.
temperature	float	[0..1]	Temperature of this sample.	unit={unit} [1]
position	container	[0..1]	Location of the sample in X, Y, and Z.
orientation	container	[0..1]	Orientation (rotation) of the sample.
details	string	[0..inf]	Any additional sample details.
{any}	container	[0..inf]	Any element(s) not defined in the cansas1d:1.1 standard can be placed at this point.	xmlns:{foreign-prefix}={foreign-namespace}

geometry

See the figures in Definition of the coordinate axes.

position

Name	Type	Occurrence	Description	Attributes
\(x\)	float	[0..1]	Position of the sample in X.	unit={unit} [1]
\(y\)	float	[0..1]	Position of the sample in Y.	unit={unit} [1]
\(z\)	float	[0..1]	Position of the sample in Z.	unit={unit} [1] [2]

orientation

Note

The orientation element is intended to describe simple rotations about a single axis rather than a full set of rotations as in a crystallographic context.

Name	Type	Occurrence	Description	Attributes
roll	float	[0..1]	Rotation about the Z axis (roll).	unit={unit} [1]
pitch	float	[0..1]	Rotation about the X axis (pitch).	unit={unit} [1]
yaw	float	[0..1]	Rotation about the Y axis (yaw).	unit={unit} [1]

Table Notes

[1]	(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) The unit attribute is required. See Rules for acceptable values.

[2]	While \(z\) is allowed by the standard (provided by use of a standard size element in the XML Schema), it does not make sense to use it for small-angle scattering in some situations as noted. Use of \(z\) in such situations may be ignored by processing software.
