Highscore 5.3 release: new features

HighScore version 5.3 with/without the Plus option is a new minor version release. Here are the new and updated capabilities compared to HighScore 5.2:

  • A new sample displacement model/equation is added (Journal of Applied Crystallography: https://doi.org/10.1107/S1600576724006460) for simulation/fitting as well as for correction. It can correct much bigger displacements than the previous equation.
  • Each dataset includes a new property “Observed Specimen Displacement” under “General Scan Info” that is used by the Search/Match to move the scan and the peaks into the correct position. 
  • New option to create table-alike MS Word or PDF reports of all program settings.
  • Live PIP (Picture In Picture) Graphics in the Zoom Overview additional graphics pane.
  • More non-ambient data can be imported from XRDML (e.g., charge, voltage and current). Average values as well as min and max values can now be imported and displayed.
  • All non-ambient data is also available in XRDML reports as tables and graphics.
  • Phase Guard (false positive filtering) is a dynamic threshold based on the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of the data. It automatically adapts to different instruments and measurement settings and to different phase scattering powers. It can be applied alone or combined with a minimum weight percentage threshold.
  • The scripting feature is also enabled for HighScore, not just for the Plus option.
  • New scripting IDE options: code folding, search script content, font size slider.
  • Structure Factor Derivation (SFD) method replaces the direct derivation (DD) method.
  • Improved color management with a pre-defined and open list of colors, including import/export of HTML colors, the “reverse order” option, and switching colors on/off.
  • The color list can be applied to scans, phases and patterns, using an offset. The same color management can be used to create/edit custom color palettes for the isolines plot and 3D plots:
  • More multi-dataset display options including layer thickness in percentage or in micrometer in all scans graphics as well as in the scans vs phases matrix.
  • Increased authorization options via OmniAccess to allow turning HighScore (Plus) into an Operator UI / Viewer, where smart batches can be executed only.
