The HSvu-app (HighScore View) displays all kinds of X-ray diffraction scans in various formats. Additionally, it shows and reports all details from an X-ray diffraction analysis performed by the HighScore analysis software from PANalytical (proprietary .HPF format). Experience the power and ease-of-use of HighScore with HSvu: - use six different graphical views for references, single and multiple scans, quantifications and 3-dimensional graphs - pan and zoom-in for details like you do with HighScore - get a complete overview on measurement conditions, scans, peaks, profiles and crystal structure data - switch easily between graphics and textual information - unravel the parameters used in a diffraction analysis and its history - create reports covering either pieces or the complete diffraction document HSvu is a display or viewing app. It shows existing data, but it doesn't perform an analysis nor does it change data. The following file formats are supported: - PANalytical .HPF (proprietary HighScore document) - PANalytical scans ( .XRDML) - PANalytical ( .2Dint), ASCII format integrated from a 2D area detector - ASD Inc. binary spectrum ( .ASD) - Philips binary scans ( .RD), ( .SD), ( .FP), ASCCI ( .UDF), ASCII( .LIS) - Bruker binary scans ( .RAW) versions 1, 2, 3 and 4 - ASCII scans ( .LST), ( .UXD), ( .XDD) - Crystallographic information file: ( .CIF) - General ASCII scan X-Y(-Z) table ( .ASC) - DBW-Rietveld ASCII scan ( .RFL) - GSAS ASCII scans ( .RAW), ( .XRA) - ICDD PD3 ASCII scan ( .PD3) - JCAMP ASCII scan ( .JDX or .JCP) - LH-Rietveld ASCII scan ( .LHP) - MDI ASCII scan ( .MDI) - Rigaku ASCII scan ( .ASC), ( .FI),( .RAS), binary scan ( .RAW) - Scintag binary scan ( .RAW) - Seifert ASCII scan ( .ASC) - Shimadzu binary scan ( .RAW) - Skrowonek UDS2 ASCII scan ( .UDS) - Stoe CSD-PROFAN ASCII scan ( .PRO),( .DAT), binary scan ( .RAW) - Thermo Scientifique (ARL) scan ( .XML) - ASD Inc. binary spectrum (.ASD) Please note: - HSvu requires high processing power and a large memory. The data file size handled by HSvu is limited by the device capabilities and its performance. For a proper operation at least an A6 chipset, as present in the iPhone 5, is recommended. More recent devices with a 64-bit processor (like the A7 chipset) provide a very smooth user experience. - To compare several scans you must insert them into a document in HSvu.

Daviz is a data visualisation tool for IOS. The App works both on iPhone and iPad. The macro language which is used by Daviz is very similar to the one you can find in Plot2 In the App you have to enter a data source which is just an URL. In the simplest case this can be a text file which provides data and formatting information (See documentation at https://davizdoc.micw.org). It is also possible to send data directly via IOS sharing to Daviz.
