SINGLE: a program to control single‐crystal diffractometers

SINGLE, a program that runs under Windows operating systems, can be used to control a variety of four-circle Eulerian-cradle single-crystal diffractometers including Huber instruments equipped with Huber motor controllers, the Stoe Stadi-4 and the Siemens P4. The software can be configured, via variables set by the user, to operate any of these diffractometers with a variety of environmental devices including furnaces and diamond-anvil pressure cells. It is specifically designed to determine unit-cell parameters to a precision of 1 part in 30 000.
