I downloaded the latest version of MAUD (March 2014) from the website. However, I have noticed that it only accepts .par extensions. My files are in .dat and I can't open them. Could someone help me out?
.par is the usual extension for MAUD analysis file, where all the parameters are stored. Dataflies are a completely different story. Even in MAUD "File" menu you may see two items: "Open analysis" (i.e., .par file) and "Load datafile" (i.e., your data) Depending on the format of your datafile MAUD may or may not recognize and load it. If you have two column files: 2theta-intensity, then there should be no problems.
I also have the same problem. not able to open .raw, .xy or .xrdml files
I currently have Maud 2.93, and I can assure you that it opens .xy files and .xrdml's from Panalytical Empyrean correctly, either using main menu, datafiles parameters window, or drag-and-drop into main Maud window.
What version of Maud are you using? Are there any error messages in Maud console after trying to load the datafile?
My files were opening before in xrdml format but now they are not opening. Also, I seem to have lost the convenient drag and drop function.
I was having the same issue with loading various file types (xy, asc) and the fix was to update my Java. Now everything works as it should.
I only have files in .dat, .asc and .txt. Also, asc is not working. Just download the latest java and everything is the same. (Powdll is not responding on my pc also)
Data file saved in .xy file extension can be opened in MAUD easily. File contains 2theta and intensity values as space separated.
For reference one can follow the attached file.
Hope it might be useful for some.
