CMPR

About CMPR

CMPR is a free multipurpose program for powder diffraction data.

11-BM staff routinely use it to examine & compare (CoMPaRe) powder XRD data at the beamline. It is a great too for manipulating and converting multiple datasets, and can also be used to fit or index diffraction peaks.

The program works well with 11-BM's .fxye GSAS format, but can be used with nearly any powder XRD data.

See the CMPR subversion page for download links, installation notes, and full documentation. ( https://subversion.xor.aps.anl.gov/trac/CMPR/wiki)
