HighScore Plus

HighScore Plus is part of the software package supplied with the Malvern Panalytical Aeris benchtop Powder XRD. It is meant for advanced powder XRD data analysis.

This software is available on the shared data analysis computer located in 346-904. You can log onto this computer either directly when you are sitting in front of it (in between the general service computer and the computer for the Filmetrics Reflectometer) or through remote access. For more details on how to login remotely, see the Labmanager Equipment Info page for the XRD Powder (requires login) on the Documents page under Technical Documents (Public Access).

Using HighScore Plus

For a guide to use this software, we recommend that users try to follow the tutorial found on LabManager - requires login.

HighScore Plus has several analysis functions for which there is no license in SmartLab Studio II, including Structure Solution, Structure Refinement, and Rietveld analysis. The software is only suitable for powder analysis.

How to download reference spectra for individual crystal structures from the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD) (for DTU users and others with access to the ICSD). We do not have access to search and match in any paid databases, though we do have the Crystallography Open Database. However, through DTU's library we have access to the ICSD for individual references when you already know (more or less) what the relevant options are. If you download these files you can add them to the database in our analysis software and see how well they match your data.

-HighScore Plus is the software package supplied with the Malvern Panalytical Aeris benchtop Powder XRD. This software is available on the shared data analysis computer located in 346-904 just to the right of the XRD Powder. You can log onto this computer either directly when you are sitting in front of it or through remote desktop from your own computer.

-==Remote login to computer with HighScore Plus==
-Use the Windows Remote Desktop Application to log on to the computer (the app is called Windows Fjernskrivebord on computers running in Danish). You can find this application in the DTU Software center if you have a DTU computer. You will have to log on to the DTU network using VPN in order to access the computer with remote desktop. Use Cisco Anyconnect which can also be downloaded from the DTU software center.
-Once you open the Remote Desktop App, you have to enter the name of the computer you want to log on to. Type in NTCH-D0186. The Remote Desktop app should add the extension .win.dtu.dk to the name. Use your normal DTU credentials to log on to the computer. You will find a shortcut to the HighScore software on the desktop and you can access data on your M-drive and O-drive from the computer (if you are a DTU student or employee). It's also possible to access files through a browser with files.dtu.dk or of course to transfer data to the computer from the XRD Powder via USB.
