​
Sietronics are pleased to announce the next version of Siroquant, Siroquant V5. This release will include several features that ensure that Siroquant remains the premier package for quantitative Rietveld analysis
​
Users can usually get up and running within hours, and no coding skills are required to run the program.
​
New key features of Siroquant include:
-
New UI with user selectable theme
• External Amorphous content calculation
• Tube artefact modeling
• Enhanced batch processing with refiô€ƒ¶nement conditions
• Ability to export multiple results to CSV/XLS
• Batch supports amorphous calculations
• HKLEditor for hkl modifiô€ƒ¶cations
• Refiô€ƒ¶ned interface with productivity improvements based on user feedback
• Additional XRD ô€ƒ¶file types supported
• Improved background refinements
​
Siroquant V5 brings the latest features to make analysis and quanti􀃶fication of XRD patterns quick and easy to do. With enhanced CIF 􀃶file support, users can add phases from a growing number of sources. Enhanced batch processing makes dealing with large numbers of samples easier than ever, and our new UI lets you tailor the interface to your liking.
​
EXTERNAL AMORPHOUS
Siroquant now supports the external standard method of amorphous content
determination. For samples where you have a known chemistry, it's no longer
required to spike the sample to find out the amorphous content.
​
ENHANCED BATCH PROCESSING
Handling large batches can be time consuming and difficult. Siroquant now
allows for enhanced control of batches making processing large samples even easier.
​
UPDATED UI
Updated UI with more customizable user interface,and user selectable colour theme.
​
TUBE ARTEFACT MODELING
Siroquant can now model any tube artefacts that may be present in your samples. Completely user con􀃶figurable, any wavelength artefact can now be
modeled in SQ.
​
IMPROVED BACKGROUND REFINEMENTS
The new background re􀃶finement algorithms can handle a larger variety of backgrounds, in particular steep low angles, making processing samples faster, easier, and more consistent and reproducible.
​
IMPROVED RESULTS REPORTING
Siroquant now makes it easier than ever to export multiple results to a 􀃶file in one go.
