Laboratory software Data Collector

for controlacquisition

The central data acquisition toolbox Data Collector is the central data acquisition toolbox for Malvern Panalytical’s multipurpose XRD instruments. Whether performing a basic powder diffraction experiment, in situ diffraction to study phase changes or studying thin films, nanomaterials or solid objects, Data Collector helps to set up experiments to get the best results. One consistent workflow for 0D, 1D, 2D and 3D measurements The Malvern Panalytical Empyrean, X’Pert³ MRD (XL) and X’Pert³ Powder platforms provide a range of applications such as phase identification and quantification, small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering, pair distribution function, computed tomography and various thin film analysis techniques. Data Collector provides a logical, unambiguous, single workflow for all these applications. Switching from point or line detector applications to area detector measurements does not require the execution of different data acquisition software packages; it can all be done within Data Collector. Easy experiment setup and execution Data Collector contains advanced features to help set up the right experiment to produce the right results. Data Collector contains a library of predefined measurement routines for theta-2theta scans, 2theta only scans as well as omega-2theta scans. Sample positioning is also handled conveniently, whether it is phi, chi, X, Y or Z: they can easily be programmed and automatically be optimized by Data Collector. Also setting up measurement routines containing various X-ray diffraction scans in combination with sample positioning and optimization can be done conveniently with Data Collector's batch programming capabilities.
