Latest release: v1.0 [08/03/2017]
eRDF Analyser is an interactive and integrated tool for electron reduced density function analysis. This tool allows users to input an electron diffraction pattern (obtained from a TEM) and guides them interactively through the process of fitting and extracting the reduced density function (RDF) for their material.
This tool is available as open source code and in executable form (both covered under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 3). Compatibility with versions of MATLAB other than R2015b is not guaranteed, although it has been tested on R2014a-R2016b on Windows/Mac OS.
The source code is available in the main repository, or see Release (https://github.com/eRDFAnalyser/MATLABv1/releases/tag/v1.0) for the package which includes:
- .m and .fig files for the GUI
- Parameter_files folder containing electron atomic scattering factors
- Help folder containing user manual documentation
- Test_data folder containing example diffraction data
The standalone executable (Windows only) package requires MATLAB Runtime version 9.0 (2015b). If you already have this runtime version, you can download and run the eRDF_Analyser_web.exe installer (https://github.com/eRDFAnalyser/MATLABv1/releases/tag/v1.0). If not, the runtime can be downloaded from http://www.mathworks.com/products/compiler/mcr.html and installed before running the abovementioned executable installer. You can also choose to download the eRDF_Analyser_mcr.exe installer instead - a bigger file which is packaged with the runtime.
Note: Dependng on system specifications, launching of the software may be slow due to initialisation of the runtime environment (comparable to launching MATLAB).
The user manual can be accessed online at https://erdfanalyser.github.io/MATLABv1/
