More Data Mining!

Our data mining software is now integrated into PDF-2. PDF-2 now provides display, search and data mining choices with 40 display fields that work interactively with 51 searches. PDF-2 allows displayed data to be graphed and plotted. Several searches can be combined using the "History" feature 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 FEATURES:

• Data mining software integrated into PDF-2
• Searches: Structural Formula, Periodic Table Yes/No/Maybe, Greek character input
• Subfiles: Thermoelectric Material, Modulated Structure, Organic Subfiles
• PDF Entry Display: All References Table
• New wizard for processing experimental data
