Abstract

A free computer program was introduced recently to process electron diffraction ring patterns. The program (called ProcessDiffraction) produces XDR-like output from the digitized version of the measured diffraction patterns. The enhanced functionality of V1.2 is summarized in the present paper.

  1. 1. The program starts with a hint-window giving suggestions what can be done next. Hints change permanently as processing progresses. The hint-window can be switched off optionally. It is a complement to the Windows-style Help-system.

  2. 2. The center of the rings is found by manually shifting the measured pattern until it overlaps with a generated reference circle. The computer can further refine the position of the center.

  3. 3. Elliptical distortion of the measured pattern (NOT of the display, which is irrelevant) is corrected by adjusting the eccentricity and axis direction of the reference ellipse (distorted from the reference circle) until visually coincide with the measured ring.
