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.

The application is used to connect to the Trimble X7 and X9 3D Laser Scanners to operate the instrument and manage scans. The application demands a one-time Trimble ID sign-in for the user to get into the application, if the user is an existing Trimble user, they can use their Trimble ID credentials to log in. New users can create an account and sign in to the application. To use this application, the Trimble X7/X9 must be powered ON and available within the Wi-Fi range of the mobile device. First time application requests the user to connect to the scanner wifi from iPhone wifi settings with the password given to them. Upon successful connection, the user will be taken into the application home screen and be able to access various features in the app. Features include: Manage projects, set scan and image parameters, control scan operations, and review data in the field. From the second launch onwards, the application will try to connect to the scanner wifi automatically with previously connected Scanner Wi-Fi SSID with a pre-configured Wi-Fi password, this enables the user to quickly access the scanner features through the application.
