Advanced Spectral Analysis Program

Advanced Spectral Analysis Program is a LabVIEW-based program intended for rapid and accurate analysis of large sets of spectral data. It can handle a range of different types of data including angle-resolved and energy-dispersive powder diffraction and Raman spectra. We present it here with a focus on high-temperature high-pressure powder diffraction. The program contains a novel graphical user interface that allows rapid manual fitting and indexing of peaks which require precise fitting ranges and includes tools for fitting any Bravais lattice and arbitrary user-defined multivariate equations of state. The program allows the user to simultaneously view and manipulate multiple data sets from an experiment. The user can save and load analysis progress at any point, allowing for repeatable calculations to be performed, and to allow the fast comparison of different analysis parameters.
