The Area Diffraction Machine

The Area Diffraction Machine analyzes two dimensional powder diffraction data. It is free open source software. It is still in development so check back frequently for updates.

What Does it Do?

It displays diffraction data interactively

Load in mar2300, mar3450, marCCD, tiff, and now edf diffraction data.

Change the intensity scale or color map.

Image Calibration

Use the calibration tab.

The program can calibrate standard diffraction images with inputted Q values. This calibration can be done with only the Q values and an initial guess of the calibration values. Calibration does not require manually clicking on the screen to find diffraction peaks!

Masking

This program can apply both a greater then or less than threshold mask to the diffraction data. It can add polygon masks to different areas of the diffraction data.

Perform a Q-χ Cake the data

Perform an Intensity Integration

Perform a Q-I integration, a 2θ-I integration, and a χ-I integration.

Automate the program with Macros

Fully automate the program using a rich macro language.

Runs on Mac

Get It

There are Mac and Windows executable of the program that can be easily installed. You can also run the program from source on Linux.
