Details

Planning a Configuration

Users begin by setting up the necessary components for their measurements through DaVinci, a graphical depiction of the instrument. Our software provides explicit instructions and assistance in configuring the instrument arrangement.

Method Planning with WIZARD

The WIZARD tool allows the planning of method files for measurements. Providing step-by-step guidance through interactive templates, enabling users to define various measurements.

Measurement Execution with COMMANDER

Offering multiple ways to execute measurement with immediate results allowing for direct control over the instrument, including generator power, configured axes, and scan conditions.

Storage and Analysis

Measuremetns are stored and efficiently organised on a result database and provides automated analysis routines.

Access and Control

Together DIFFRAC.SUITE and analysis applications offer enhanced control access through a user database increasing security.
