Hi
While it is easier to use directly the raw data file, I preffer to use
instead ascii files (in ascii files one can easily see the data..). On of
the problems is that the ascii file may be a little bigger 100K instead of
50k, but this may not be the issue nowadays; in my opinion the real problem
is related to the rather frequent changes of the 'proprietary' format : for
the philips *.RD data there are several variants, and not all explained
clearly (rd3 to rd5, sd3, sd5..).
One of the solutions might be the use of the recent (public ?) format
xrdml, proposed by Panalytical which is basically an html file. I hear that
this new format is now implemented in Fullprof...
Regards
N
PS Proprietary means probably that you are not allow to sell software
using this format ???
