HKLF5Tools

What is HKLF5Tools?

HKLF5Tools is a software which provides a crystallographer with instruments for processing HKLF5 datasets before refinement in SHELXL or in a similar software.

Download

HKLF5Tools is free for academic users and can be obtained per request from Dr. Sergei Ivlev ().

For commercial use please contact Dr. Ivlev for terms of use and further details.

Installation

No special installation is reqiured. A copy of the software can be saved in the folder containing the HKLF5 file and be executed directly from the folder.

Usage

The software can be started using the command line interface by typing the following instruction: 
HKLF5Tools.exe <filename>

Available functions

  • Statistics on the whole dataset as well as on each individual twin component: numbers of overlapping and non-overlapping reflections, average intensities, I/sigma ratios, R-factors for symmetry equivalent reflections.
  • Deleting reflections of a certain twin component. The user can choose which reflections are to be deleted: overlapping, non-overlapping or all.
  • Changing labels of twin components in the HKLF5 file.
  • Adding inversion twin components to existing twin components.
  • Conversion of an FCF file (from SHELXL) to an HKL file for the final refinement on detwinned data.
