Endeavour: Frequently Asked Questions

The "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQ) page for Endeavour is still in an early state. If you encounter a problem with your installation, please check first, if your Endeavour version is up-to-date. You find an update opportunity on our Endeavour Update Page.

Since many functions of Endeavour, mainly the crystal structure visualization, are related with functions in Diamond, please also read the Frequently Asked Questions page for Diamond.

Q(uestion): I want to calculate the indexing and to find the unit cell parameters, but Endeavour can't do it.
A(nswer): I suggest to use the "Crysfire" powder indexing system that can be downloaded free-of-charge (for academic usage) from
http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/tutorial/crys/
I feel that this is an excellent and elaborate package for indexing, being able to use a large variety of different indexing programs/methods (ITO, TREOR, DICVOL, KOHL etc.). Having a variety of different indexing approaches available is generally adventageous, since not all methods are equally successful in solving different indexing problems.
