GUFI 5.0




	E N R A F - G U F I 5 Powder Diffraction Measurement and Evaluation (c) copyright 1987..2000 by Robert E. Dinnebier, Bayreuth, Germany Purpose of the program GUFI is an old fashioned DOS program which has never been updated to the beautiful Windows world. Nevertheless, it still offers many useful features which cannot be found in many expensive commercial programs. Two versions exist, a professional version which was written to control the PDS120 diffractometer of NONIUS BVand a shareware version without the measurement option. The program allows to convert many file formats of powder diffraction data, creates input files for indexing and Rietveld refinement programs, allows for sophisticated data reduction, smoothing, peak hunting, background evaluation, 2 theta resp. intensity correction, space group determination, peak fitting, full pattern conversions etc. Its a real work horse for daily powder diffraction work. The original handbook dates back to 1993 and is clearly outdated. A simple manual in PDF format is included. If time permits, I will write a more comprehensive manual. Licence Please be aware that GUFI 5 is not a free program. If you continue using it after some time of evaluation, you should register it and pay the registration fee. There is no restriction on this shareware version.

Then, clicking the GUFI icon will start the program in a DOS window. Note: You should have at least 560 KBytes of free DOS memory before running GUFI . There might be different warning messages which do not affect the functionality of the program. Last change April 14, 2000.
