Data Reduction¶
Before running a Search & Match, the raw diffraction pattern usually needs to be processed. QualX provides the following data reduction tools:
| Tool | Menu | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Background | Pattern → Background | Estimate and subtract background |
| Peak Search | Pattern → Peaks | Detect peak positions and intensities |
| Smoothing | Pattern → Smoothing | Reduce noise |
| K-α2 Stripping | Pattern → K-α2 Stripping | Remove the Kα2 contribution |
All tools are accessible from the Pattern menu.
