JSV can import two types of data. These are structure data and powder diffractogram files. Please be aware that I do not guarantee the correct conversion of structure files in every case. JSV's import routines are based on some example files that were available to me. The different softwares from which data can be imported might have used conventions for space group settings which are different from the ones in JSV. In case of doubt you can always see the space group file used by JSV ( lib/jsv.sgr ).
The diffractogram data can be viewed with the new diffractogram viewer moduls. These moduls only allow viewing. I intentionally do not support printing in this release of JSV. A printing feature for powder diffractograms will be implemented in a future version of JSV.
1. Structure data
MICRO-POWD - *.pwd
files
© Materials Data, Inc.
The program MICRO-POWD was written by D.K.Smith
& K.L.Smith and was used extensively in the past decades. It
was continously developed since the 60ties. MICRO-POWDS input
files *.pwd may be imported in JSV.
POWDER-CELL - *.cel
files
© W.Krause & G.Nolze, BAM
JSV's DOS predecessor XRSV was originally
inspired by the then DOS version of Powder-Cell 1.8. Also the
radii file and the space group file of JSV are partly based on
Powder-Cell's files. I therefore include the import of *.cel
files.
FAT-RIETAN - *.cif
files

In a future release FAT-RIETAN will allow CIF
file output. These files can be directly read in by JSV for
viewing the solved structure. If more than one phase is present
you will be prompted for selecting the phase to be displayed.
Note that JSV uses here the symmetry operators given in the CIF
file itself. That means JSV does not use its own space group data
base. However for the space group info and X-ray diffraction
calculation I have to use JSV's space group data (mainly for
extracting the Laue group).
2. Powder diffraction data
MICRO-POWD - *.cmb
files
© Materials Data, Inc.
The program MICRO-POWD was written by D.K.Smith
& K.L.Smith and was used extensively in the past decades. It
was continously developed since the 60ties. MICRO-POWDS binary
*.cmb files may be imported and viewed with the CMB/MDI-viewer
modul.
MDI's - *.mdi files
© Materials Data, Inc.
Diffractogram data files by MDI in ASCII format
may be imported and viewed with the CMB/MDI viewer.
FAT-RIETAN - IGOR files
© F.Izumi, Nirim
JSV's difference plot viewer can read IGOR files,
which are exported by FAT-RIETAN.
in future
In future releases of JSV I will implement other import formats, such as SHELX, ICSD, ICDD etc.
