Beta release

The PDFgetX2 coding project started out as an upgrade to the Yorick program PDFgetX [6] developed in our group. The interactive data language (IDL^1.1) was chosen for its cross-platform compatibility, and built-in GUI capability. The data correction methods used in PDFgetX were inherited. However, this release of PDFgetX2 is not a translation of program PDFgetX, i.e. with only an addition of GUI. The two programs differ a lot in programing structure and concepts, but do give quantitatively consistent results. As the coding efforts moved on, numerous new features have been constantly added, and some existing capabilities were expanded. A tour of the features available in PDFgetX2 is best made by going through the tutorial data provided in this manual.
