What is XRDUA?

XRDUA

XRDUA is a handy X-Ray imaging tool that helps you automate the processing of X-Ray powder diffraction data from scanned tomography files. It's pretty cool how it simplifies this complex task!

How XRDUA Works

This utility uses the IDL programming language, which is perfect for correcting, calibrating, or figuring out models in two-dimensional X-Ray images. Whether you're diving into some serious research or just need to analyze some data, XRDUA has got your back.

Analyzing Data Made Easy

If you're working with (μ)XRPD files or (μ)XRPD tomography, this tool is a great fit. It supports images from flat area detectors and lets you work on spatial distortion, calibration, or modeling with ease.

Modeling Capabilities

You can model any item using the 3D Rietveld and Pawley algorithms. Plus, if you need to generate 2D Bragg peaks or ROI diagrams, XRDUA can do that too! It's super versatile.

Image Processing

You can use XRDUA to process images right from the CCD camera that captures X-Rays or tomography data. This feature makes it really convenient for researchers!

Visualizing Results

The best part? XRDUA translates data from 2D images into crystal phase distributions. This means you can easily visualize your results and even view a virtual cross-section (tomography) of what you're observing.

Export Options

Your output can be exported as XDI files or TIFF images—super handy for sharing your findings!

The Power of IDL

XRDUA uses IDL, a reliable scientific programming language that's widely used for extracting valuable visualizations from numerical data. With this tool, interpreting data and turning it into graphics, scripts, or statistical graphs becomes so much simpler.

Tailored Calculations

The calculations adapt based on the material you're analyzing and its structural properties. This way, your results can be shown off through easy-to-read visual graphs.

User-Friendly Setup

XRDUA is user-friendly! You just need to install a recent version of IDL first. Once that's done, open the xrdua.sav file, and provide the supported files you want to work with.
