ICDD SUITE 2007 - DDView with SIeve- Purchase

ICDD Suite

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ICDD Suite 2007 - DDView with SIeve 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 2007 and SIeve 2007 are designed to work with PDF-2 Release 2007. Customers updating their PDF-2 must update their software to match the release year update.

DDView/SIeve is licensed for 60 months.  At the end of the licensing period, the product license can be extended for an additional 60 months, free of charge, providing that the licensed user has the same organization name and address (i.e. the registered user). License extensions will be processed using ICDD’s license extension procedure. (www.icdd.com/licenses)

Multiyear pricing is available for DDView and SIeve when purchasing multiyear licenses for the PDF-2.

SIeve 2007
SIeve 2007, ICDD's search indexing software, provides rapid searching and identification using highly automated Hanawalt, Fink and Long-8 searches. SIeve takes advantage of the dynamic computing power of modern PCs to rapidly perform permuted searches on hundreds of thousands of data entries. This enables permutations with Fink and Long-8 algorithms, that are impractical with print due to their enormous size. SIeve features an automatic rotation of the 3 strongest lines (Hanawalt) or the 8 longest of the strongest lines (Fink) or the 8 long lines (Long 8) to look for matches that exhibit the best Goodness of Match (GOM). We have implemented a "Pattern GOM" that provides a comparison, much like the paper manuals, whereby all the lines in the unknown pattern must be matched against all the lines in the reference pattern(s). The SIeve display allows a further comparison between the standard GOM and the Pattern GOM.

SIeve works with either input d/I pairs or electronic files that contain d or two-theta/I data. A flexible text importer can read a wide variety of input files; any number of d/I pairs can be imported. SIeve is linked with Global searches and Search Preferences from DDView. This means that a user can custom define a SIeve input filter based on any of the 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.
