I need to digitise my XRD graph that is in pnj form, to extract data points of peaks but there is a large number of peaks so I want them to be selected automatically rather than selecting the hundreds of points.
Please suggest.
Steven Van Petegem this program also need manual point selection which I am avoiding because there is a huge number of peaks in my graph. Please suggest any auto point selection.
It has an automatic function, which worked quite well for me. The only manual part is the calibration of the axis.
Hello Maria Malik if you attach the picture to this question, I can quickly convert it using PANalytical HighScore Plus, into any kind of Scan file
Dharmadoss Sornadurai it is a many-peaks pattern of XRD. kind of a raw pattern.
I think You did not understand my question! Is it one-dimensional data or a two dimensional data ?
I think You have a usual XRD pattern with many peaks. There is a digitizer is available that will covert the graphical data as an ASCII data.
Maria, perhaps you did not realize from Steven's answer that once you digitize the pattern using the program in his link, you feed the data to any XRD analysis program. In the XRD analysis program of your choice, peak identification is automated, so you just review the results of the peak finding algorithm's results.
Which XRD analysis program to use is another question, which has been previously addressed. Most people use whatever is supplied by their instrument manufacturer. GSAS is also free and well-respected. There are other very good choices, too. My company (Proto Manufacturing, see www.protoxrd.com) makes our analysis program freely available.
