Software for the XRD Powder

For data export

The DataViewer software is a basic program from Malvern Panalytical that accompanies the XRD Powder and allows you to view your measurement results, do simple operations, and export to other formats, e.g., csv or txt. To install DataViewer, please see this note on LabManager - requires login.

For adjusting measurement recipes

To adjust the measurement recipes you need to use the XRDMP Creator mentioned above. This can be found on the support computer right on the instrument apart from being installed on your own computer (see link above for download instructions). Please ask responsible staff for instruction before you start using it on your own. Notice that if you need fluorescence suppression in your program, for now you need to use the version of XRDMP Creator on the support computer next to the XRD.

For data analysis

We have a license for the software "HighScore" for Rietveld refinement, allowing quantification of the phase composition. For more info about this software including how to access it remotely click here.

You can also use the software from the Rigaku SmartLab XRD to analyse data from the XRD powder. Read about this here.

Additional software for measurements in a heated atmosphere

If you are going to make measurements in a heated N2 atmosphere, you will need the Nambicon software to control the heater. Download is described in the same document as for DataViewer and XRDMP Creator - requires login.
