LHPM-Rietica and other Rietveld programs are very sensitive to the data format - and the file extension. Thus if you have initial problems, make sure the file format is correct - then check the extension is correct. (e.g., 10f8 Rietica format having the file extension of *.dat)


From the following screen dump, the data file looks like a 10 (I2,I6) neutron format. Normally this has the file extension of *.DAT.
