• X-ray diffractometer
• Proxy software
• Automatic attenuator

A proxy software was developed which allows the Siemens D500 x-ray diffractometer to be upgraded with addons that have never been officially available for it. For demonstration, we designed and integrated an automatic attenuator option and demonstrated the feasibility of our upgrade path by typical comparative x-ray measurements, which would usually saturate the x-ray detector, if no attenuator is used.
