Free Software for Philips X-ray Diffractometer

Philips PDP11-APD1700 system on MS-DOS system
File Conversion for ASCII data, "LIS-RE5".
Version 5.0
July 1995
LIS-RE5 File Conversion Program; Coded in English

This converter changes the ASCII file (.LIS), which was stored originally as RD binary file and typed out as an ASCII data, to the another format of ASCII Data-File (.IN3 file) on MS-DOS.

  1. This can compensate the effect of auto divergence slit.

  2. You should convert the .RD binary file to the .LIS ASCII file by APD_List_Data.File_As.File option(in APD1700) in advance. The File .LIS should be transported onto MS-DOS.

  3. This generates the .IN3 ASCII File for Users' Analysis.
After the conversion, you will get the following .IN3 file, which can be edited in your favarite graphic software for the better presentation. All measured data are sorted by 2-theta vs Intensities after 20 line header. The asterisk line will be skipped when FORTRAN program like Rietveld analysis was applied on the converted .IN3 file. The last version 4.1 was coded partially in Japanese, but this version 5.0 was programmed fully in English, which was well confirmed to run in Windows95, Windows 3.1, IBM-PC-DOS5 and the higher, NEC-PC-MS-DOS3.1.

HINT: After your X-ray diffraction measurement, return to the main menu and enter LIST. Select DATA file and let it save as the ASCII file with the FULL_HEADER. The OPTION/DEFAULT function of Philips menu may help you. Somehow, you should export this ASCII file to the MS-DOS file. My terminal emulator APD10 may help it for the Japanese users. Connect your NEC-PC to RS282C of DEC-PDP11.
HINT 2: If you will set PIF file in WINDOWS3.1 or Short-CUT in WINDOWS95, please set its work directory on your data file directory. It omits some lazy key strokes...

Example : 'TEST.LIS' file was written as follows....

  1. lis_re50.bas (9kB)
     source PROGRAM; ASCII Text for MS-DOS-Quick BASIC. Not necessary item for executing. If you do not have Quick Basic compiler, then you can let this sorce code work in the interpleter mode from Quick Basic Window. It does not cause any problem. For the Japanese Users : Any graphic command speciallized for VGA was not used, but I suggest that the users of NEC-MS-DOS should compile this source by your Quick BASIC on NEC-DOS.

  2. lis_re50.exe (49kB) or try FTP
     executable file; compiled for IBM-PC DOS(German mode), not for NEC-MS-DOS. This file works without any assistance of Quick Basic run-time-library, i.e., stand alone type.

  3. Test.lis (4kB)
     .LIS file; An example TEXT file as partially shown above.

  4. Test.in3 (5kB)
