People planning synchrotron experiments may be interested in the following Dispano and Poudrix updates. Present users should update due to bug fix in calculation of the data. Plus the new version of DISPANO Anomalous dispersion software now can display 2 elements on the screen. Refer: http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/tutorial/lmgp/dispano.htm ===================================== ===================================== There are new versions of the following software as part of the LMGP Suite by Jean Laugier and Bernard Bochu. OrientExpress (Laue Crystal Alignment software), Dispano (Anomalous dispersion software), Poudrix (Powder diffraction Pattern Calculation software), and Celref (unit cell refinement software) http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/ccp/web-mirrors/lmgp-laugier-bochu/ Tutorial run-throughs: http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/tutorial/lmgp/ ======= A slightly modified/edited note from the authors: 1-DISPANO. (Anomalous dispersion software) This new version makes it possible to display 2 elements on the same graph. Warning: The Brennan and Cowan data were given by DABAX with an insufficient number of digits for the energy values. Manuel Sanchez Del Rio (ESRF) sent me a new corrected file. It will be the same for Poudrix. 2-Poudrix updated for the reason above. (Powder diffraction Pattern Calculation software) 3-Celref (unit cell refinement software) No longer unzooms on calculating HKLs allowing it to be friendlier for helping with spacegroup assignment of powder patterns. 4-OrientExpress (Laue Crystal Alignment software) with minor corrections: -The display of the reorientation angles is different.It is now possible to make a simulation of each of the possible settings. -Window simulation: it is now possible to type the rotation angles (x,y,z) to simulate the rotation. -The Help file was slighly modified. -Will now handle JPG files. ======= Lachlan. -- Lachlan M.
