CrystalDiffract can load observed diffraction patterns from a plain-text (ASCII) data file. The following formats are supported:
XY data file (each line has a pair of values, representing one data point) with file extension ".txt", ".dat", ".xy" or ".xye" (error values ignored).
Rigaku ASC diffractometer file with extension ".asc".
Do one of the following:
Drag-and-drop the file onto the CrystalDiffract application icon.
Choose the File > Open command, and locate your file in the file dialog that appears.
Do one of the following:
Drag-and-drop the file into the window's diffraction pane. The diffraction pattern will be displayed, and an entry added to the Patterns list.
Drag-and-drop the file into the window's Patterns list. A diffraction pattern will be listed, but will not be plotted (i.e., the pattern is marked as being hidden). To display the pattern, click its checkbox.
Choose the File > Open in Same Window command, and locate your file in the File dialog that appears.
Click the toolbar's Add button to display a popup menu, and choose: Add Pattern from File.
