Calibration

The Set calibration wizard builds (or refreshes) the pyFAI integrator for the current working directory. You point it at a calibrant TIFF, a mask, and optional config; Run writes results under WorkingDir/calibration/ (including integrator/ and refined.yml). Until calibration succeeds, new TIFFs are integrated only in a coarse proxy mode.

Mask editing is a separate window opened from this wizard — see Mask (Create mask, or left-click the calibrant image when one is loaded).
