Note: The Area Diffraction Machine was previously hosted on Google Code at http://areadiffractionmachine.googlecode.com.

The Area Diffraction Machine analyzes two dimensional powder diffraction data. It is free open source software.

Download Mac and Windows executables and documentation here. You can also run the program from source on Linux.

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

Change the intensity scale or color map.

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!

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

Fully automate the program using a rich macro language.

There is a Discussion Group for the program here. If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, feel free to post them to the group by emailing area-diffraction-machine@googlegroups.com. If you have any issues with the program, please submit them to the issue tracker.
