1. Introduction

Davinci is a scientific software for the visualization and processing of single-crystal diffraction data measured with a point detector.

1.1. What is Davinci for?

Davinci allows to obtain the squares of the structure factors () based on the calculation of integrated intensities of the measured Bragg peaks. In the case of polarised neutron diffraction measurements, Davinci calculates the flipping ratios (FR). These data are necessary for crystal and magnetic structure determination with the crystallographic software, such as FullProf, Jana2006, ShelX, etc.

1.2. Davinci features

• Cross-platform

Davinci works across operating systems. You can download precompiled binaries of Davinci Installer for macOS, Windows and Linux operating systems, or you can get the source code and build the program yourself.

• Easy to use

Intuitive tabbed interfaces of the program main window and sidebar help to speed up the treatment of the complete dataset or individual peaks.

• Various supported instruments

Davinci accepts the data from the neutron instruments POLI, HEiDi and MIRA at MLZ as well as 6T2 at LLB and TriCS at SINQ.

• Different peak integrations

Both the conventional and Lehmann-Larsen algorithms for the definition of the peak and background parameters are available.

• Build-in text editor

To simplify the analysis of the experimental log and data files, Davinci has its build-in text editor with search functionality.

• Multiple output formats

Davinci allows to save the extracted peak plots as graphics (.jpg, .pdf) as well as the output table as text (.csv, .hkl, .tb, .fli).
