'''Help functions''' included in the program usually give a good overview of the options available when setting up fitting. You can access the relevant help sections by clicking on the small question mark in the pane you want to know more about. The exception is that | '''Help functions''' included in the program usually give a good overview of the options available when setting up fitting. In many cases they also explain a bit of the theory applied. You can access the relevant help sections by clicking on the small question mark in the pane you want to know more about. The exception is that in the software in the cleanroom the question marks do not work properly (the computer is running a very early version of SLSII and it seems that the help function was not yet properly integrated). The help function should work on the installation on your computer, but if it doesn't, you can find the full help documents on the Cleanroom Drive and some are also available in LabManager, just follow the links below. | ||

It is not easy to evaluate the accuracy of the fit. However, a Rigaku specialist told us that the value of the thickness should be accurate within 1 nm, as it is mostly based on the oscillation frequency, which is relatively simple to fit. The accuracy of the thickness determination probably decreases, however, if there are many layers or graded layers, although those can be included in the fit. | It is not easy to evaluate the accuracy of the fit.

The data visualization plugin is mainly used to show data mapping. This could be data acquired with the xy-stage. 1D and 2D data are supported, and 1D graphs can be extracted from 2D plots. It further supports smoothing, background subtraction, and peak search for all loaded data sets in one go. | The data visualization plugin is mainly used to show data mapping.

The data manager can be used for visualizing several datasets at once. As for the data visualization plugin, it support batch processing of data sets. Data comparison can easily be done and generates a great overview of differences and similarities between samples. It can also be used to concatenate data from several measurements into one data set, which is useful for data from the XRD Powder. | The data manager can be used for visualizing several datasets at once.

We recommend downloading the symmetrized cif file for import. When adding materials please consider if the space group is the correct one. We would also prefer if the elastic stiffness tensor is entered into the software for all materials if available, which they often are on the Materials Project site. | We recommend downloading the symmetrized cif file for import.
