StructureStudio™
StructureStudio is a highly modular program for collecting and processing single crystal diffraction data. StructureStudio can be enhanced to support computer control of Rigaku X-ray generators through JXG and to support the ACTOR™ automatic sample changer through JDirector™. The user interface follows the control panel paradigm and is highly configurable, so for most tasks it is possible to layout a single panel with all the views necessary to perform the necessary functions and monitor the progress. This eliminates the need to constantly switch back and forth between windows.
StructureStudio has a built in Sample mechanism to help organize the crystallographic data associated with a specific physical sample. It also provides a very flexible recipe mechanism which allows the user to execute standard recipes or create custom recipes for their particular problem domain. These recipes can either be executed a step at a time or automatically.
StructureStudio has a simple yet flexible scheme for specifying and monitoring data collection. It also has a simple interface for manual and maintenance operations.
Beginning with StructureStudio 2.0, an interface is also provided to d*TREK® to provide fully integrated processing for:
- Screen image collection
- Indexing
- Refinement
- Strategy (including multiple settings for various goniometer angles)
- Ranking or scoring of diffraction quality
- Data collection
- Simultaneous integration
- Scale and Average
These steps can be arranged with suitable defaults in a recipe so that once the crystal has been mounted and centered, data collection and processing can be done with a single click of the mouse.
Important software patch for JDirector 2.2
We have identified an issue in JDirector 2.2 when using the Move Pins follow-up job, that in some instances may cause a collision between the robot and the detector. The patch provided below fixes this issue. We strongly suggest that all JDirector 2.2 users download and install this patch.
Linux version | Windows version
If you are using a Saturn A200 CCD system, please contact Rigaku so that we can provide you with an updated version of
JDirector for your system.
