Startup Window (see Types of Windows).

This window appears when CRYSCON is first started, or when a data set (Control Window) is closed.

It has its own menu bar, and the following buttons for getting a data file into CRYSCON.

New - Step-by-step input of a new CRYSCON data set.

Open - Open an old CRYSCON data file.

Import File - Shows a pop-up menu with the file types currently supported. This includes:

---- CCDC FDAT files from the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre.
---- SHELX .INS files from the program system of Prof. G. Sheldrick.
---- CIF - Crystallographic Information Files.
---- DBWS/LHPM Rietveld input files.
---- ICSD Inorganic Crystal Structure Database files.
---- ORTEP Original or ORTEP II atom information.
---- XTLVIEW Drawing program.
---- VIBRAT (.MOT) Graphic output files from VIBRATZ.
---- PDB Protein Data Bank files.
---- RIETAN Rietveld program files.
---- GSAS Data files (.EXP) files from the Los Alamos Lab system - may include magnetic vectors.
---- AM MINERAL. Data files from the American Mineralogist structure data base.
---- FULLPROF. All-purpose refinement program - may include magnetic vectors.
---- Free-form (.inp). This allows input of atomic coordinates and other information from almost any source.
---- Ravel ATOMS. This program is not the same as ATOMS by Shape Software, but is for EXAFS Analysis.
---- WIEN2K. This package performs electronic structure calculations of solids using density functional theory (DFT).

Exit/Quit - Quit the CRYSCON program.
