Purpose. Collapse a calibrated 2D detector frame to a 1D intensity vs q curve I(q) suitable for subtraction and analysis. This is the standard SAXS reduction step once geometry exists.
What autosaxs does. Loads the saved pyFAI integrator from calibration, applies the mask used
at calibration time, runs azimuthal integration (integrate1d) with a chosen number of bins,
and writes a standard .dat curve (typically under averaged/). Optional overlays
can show the mask on the 2D image for visual checks.
Custom content. Thin relative to other skills: science is almost entirely pyFAI’s integrator; autosaxs owns I/O, batching, and wiring into the liveview queue.
Engines. pyFAI (calibrated geometry from Detector calibration).
