PC Programs for the display and simulation of powder
patterns.
Please cite P.McArdle and D. Cunningham, J.Appl.Cryst.,1998, 31, 826 for use of this
software.
These programs are controlled by Oscail. POWDIS
can display and plot powder spectra. The spectra may be marked, integrated and plotted. A
zoom facility is provided and spectra may be displayed
together for comparison. The display may be in d-space or 2(Theta) units and the displayed
radiation wavelength can be altered. One useful application of this facility is that
spectra obtained with Co radiation (1.79Å) which show excellent resolution on organic
pharmaceutical samples can be replotted for comparison with more conventional Cu data.
The POWUTL program can,
(i) convert Shelx .HKL files to powder patterns in several formats (CPI, XY and
RIET7)
(ii) perform simple digital filtering (to increase or decrease resolution),
(iii) convert to and from CIF powder format,
(iv) change wavelength and maintain digitisation and
(v) generate powder data from Shelx .INS files.
