DDView 2009 - Purchase

DDView 2009, ICDD’s retrieval and viewing software, is designed to make PDF-2 accessible as a stand-alone database operating in a Windows® environment. DDView provides display, search and data filtering capabilities for the PDF-2 database. Many customers using vendor search/match software choose to purchase DDView as well, in order to perform further analyses. Each year, DDView is updated to reflect annual changes in the database. Licensing DDView is the best way to stay current with database changes and it strongly complements other viewing and data analysis software. The expanded list of features and capabilities for Release 2009 are listed here (.pdf).

More Data Mining!

In 2009, we expanded the data mining capability of DDView by tripling the number of display fields from 8 to 24. The DDView display fields work interactively with the 49 searches to provide a wide range of data mining choices.

Displayed data can be graphed and plotted as shown in Figure 12. Several searches can be combined using the “History” feature in DDView and the data can be tabulated, sorted and graphed by user selection. For those doing quantitative analysis, tabulations of I/Ic are now available and can be compared to the entry’s quality mark and status so that the best reference can be selected for the analysis.

New search classifications

• References search – added Volume and Page searches
• Author’s Cell Molecular/Formula Unit Volume search
• Increased search flexibility for Compound Name, Common Name, All Names, and Database Comments

New capabilities

• Manual background removal
• Experimental data operation settings are now remembered

New PDF entry display

• Tripled the number of display fields from 8 to 24

ICDD Suite 2009 - DDView with SIeve - Purchase

ICDD SUITE offers the viewing software that you need, along with search indexing software that you want. Although available on one CD, DDView and SIeve are licensed separately. SIeve is available only in the ICDD SUITE, which offers licensing for both DDView and SIeve. Both DDView 2009 and SIeve 2009 are designed to work with PDF-2 Release 2009. Customers updating their PDF-2 must update their software to match the release year update.

Multiyear pricing is available for the ICDD SUITE when purchasing multiyear licenses for PDF-2.

SIeve 2009

SIeve, ICDD’s search indexing software for the PDF-2 product line, provides rapid searching and identification of materials using highly automated Hanawalt, Fink and Long 8 searches. SIeve takes advantage of the remarkable computing power of modern PCs to rapidly perform searches on hundreds of thousands of data entries. SIeve features automatic rotation of the 3 strongest lines (Hanawalt) or the 8 longest of the strongest lines (Fink) or the 8 longest lines (Long 8) to look for matches that exhibit the best Goodness of Match (GOM). The automatic rotations can be switched on/off in Preferences. For 2009, the GOM is now weighted to better equilibrate scoring of matches with entries having larger and smaller numbers of peaks. The “Pattern GOM” compares all lines in the unknown pattern against all lines in the reference pattern(s). The SIeve display allows a comparison between the standard GOM and the pattern GOM. SIeve works with files containing a list of peaks (d-spacing/2-theta and intensity pairs) or files containing full experimental data (2-theta and intensity). A flexible text importer can read a wide variety of input files. SIeve is linked with global searches and Search Preferences from DDView allowing users to custom define a SIeve input filter based on any of the 49 search method classes or combinations thereof. The results of SIeve can also be integrated into search criteria in DDView. SIeve is available only in the ICDD SUITE. SIeve, a plug-in to DDView, is licensed for an additional cost. It activates for a free 30-day trial period or until the product is registered.
