- Flip the "ON" switch (Figure 4C) to the HASKRIS and the water in the tank will begin to cool. The water temperature needs to reach 69°F (Figure 4A). The Haskris temperature can range between 65°F to 69°F (18-21ºC). Ensure all water valves to/from Haskris are open. The flow rate should be greater than 4L/min.

- Flip the "ON" switch (Figure 5A) on the side of the Bruker D4 XRD.
- The solid green "Low Voltage Ready" light (Figure 5F) turns on.
- You will hear several beeps and the "System ActivityReady" light (Figure 5D) will start flashing green.
- Press the "High Voltage Enable" button (Figure 5B).
- The "System Activity" light turns green.An orange "High Voltage Ready" (Figure 5E) light will turn on.

5. Turn the “Generator Power” key to the right and hold it for a few seconds and look at the lights on top of the D4 (Figure 7). When the “Alarm” "Alarm" light turns off and the “Ready” light turns on, as well as the lights at the sides of the top of the D4, release the key back into its middle position.
...
1. Turn the X-Ray generator off by turning the key counterclockwise (Figure 6).
2. Push the Red mains button (Figure 6).
3. Turn off the High Voltage button B as shown in Figure 5.

Converting a .RAW File to an .UXD File
The .RAW file is only readable by the Diffrac.Eva not readable for most other software, whereas the .UXD file is a text file that can be read by other programs, particularly by . Therefore, we upload both of files types to LIMS. DIFFRAC.Eva can open/import .raw and .xy files, whereas HighScore Plus (available to the scientists via a virtual computer, see HighScore Software Quick Start Guide) can open .raw, uxd, .xrdml, and .xy XRD file types. See the Aeris Advanced user Guide for instructions on converting .xrdml (Aeris) files to .xy.
To convert a .RAW file to an .UXD file, click the Diffrac.File Exchange software icon on the desktop (Figure 16).

If you are running clay samples you will end up with multiple runs that have the same sample info. To make sure we can differentiate this in the database you must add extra text before the TextID so that it looks like these examples. Do this step when entering the sample name in the Bruker software so that it gets included in the metadata of the file. MUT will recognize the files written this way as long as there is matching file names. However, only one .jpg png file is allowed per TextID, so a .jpg png of the combined pre- and post- heated scans was uploaded.
