Installing XRD data analysis software

The main data analysis software available to all users of DTU Nanolab's XRD equipment is Rigaku SmartLab Studio II. This software can be installed freely on you own computer, the computer has to be on the DTU Network, either as a regular DTU computer or by VPN to obtain a network license. To use a link, rightclick and select copy link, paste the link in windows explore to open it.

To get SmartLab Studio II installed please install CodeMeter and SmartLab Studio II, and configure the SmartLab Studio II database.

For users of the XRD Powder, we recommend to also install the Crystallography Open Database, for material cards, and either Data Viewer or PowDLL for data conversion.
