Import DBWS/LHPM Rietveld file [File menu]

See the Import File dialog for general aspects of importing atomic-structure data files.

The DBWS or LHPM formats are very similar.

In the Atom type numbers from: box, the Type label option will select the NTYP field which usually contains the elemental symbol for recovery of the scattering factor.

ATOMS can read three revisions of the DBWS format - 1990, 1994, and 1998 - but there is no version number or other direct indication of the revision in the file itself, so some trial and error may be involved. 1990 files will probably fail on the first attempt at reading, and you are then given a chance to try again.
