Welcome to PYXIS!
PYXIS, built on the MATLAB platform, is a software package designed for analyzing the experimental data taken from synchrotron-based micro/nano diffraction (μXRD). This tool comprises functionalities for assessing both Laue diffraction and energy scan patterns, which encompasses visualization of diffraction patterns, study and indexation of diffraction peaks, refinement of orientation and stress/strain, peak profile reconstruction and analysis based on energy scan data, and dislocation characterization.
Prior to operating this PYXIS version, it is required to have MATLAB Runtime 9.3 or higher version installed on Windows 7, 10 or 11 operating system (Refer to MATLAB Runtime - MATLAB Compiler - MATLAB (mathworks.com)).
This specific PYXIS version is tethered to your computer hardware specifications. The unique registration code is derived by encrypting the serial numbers of both your CPU and the hard drive where your operating system resides. Consequently, should there be any alterations to either the CPU or the OS hard drive, the registration will be rendered void. Taking into consideration that some of PYXIS’s data analysis tasks are computationally intensive, it is advised to be judicious in selecting an appropriate machine for its installation.
How to Download and use PYXIS
PYXIS can be downloaded by the link below. Follow the procedure:
1. Download PYXIS (
PYXIS.zip).
2. Extract the contents of PYXIS.zip into a directory.
3. Launch PYXIS by double-clicking the executable file PYXIS.exe. During the initial run, you will get a machine code and a serial number. Kindly forward these details to kjw9602@163.com or kchenLBL@gmail.com to secure your registration code.
4. Further instructions and guidance can be found in the user manual located within the installed directory. Additionally, we provide some demo data and preset parameters (
example_demo.zip).
