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 [https://labmanager.dtu.dk/view_binary.php?fileId=5534 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. Please ask responsible staff for instruction before you start using it on your own. Notice that in the Scan Parameters window there is a problem with the "Time per step" which is supposedly given in seconds but does not translate into the actual time spent per step during the scan. It must be a much smaller unit. You can trust the total time given per scan more than the time per step shown.
