Xelerate Software Package

Xelerate is a software package to visualise, explore and calibrate element intensity data obtained by XRF cores scanning. The Xelerate software provides statistical analyses of after log-ratio transformation, as described in Weltje & Tjallingii (2008) and Weltje et al. (2015).

Key features

  • Calibration sample selection
  • Log-ratio calibration (Uni- & Multivariate)
  • Sediment characterisation by unsupervised statistical clustering
  • Visualising element correlations and data distributions using PCA
  • Down-core plotting of elements, element ratios, and calibrated results next to core images
  • Data scaling and visualisation of confidence limits using replicate measurements

Requirements

  • Fixed XRF core scanning data formatting (Avaatech, COX Itrax, or plain text)
  • Xelerate runs as a MATLAB stand-alone that can only be used after installation of the Matlab Component Runtime (MCRinstaller). Installing MATLAB itself is not required
  • Xelerate is a PC based application (*.exe) and runs best on PC’s with an Intel processor
  • Read the manual for more detailed information on data formatting and installation

Downloads

New complication that is also compatible for PC’s (64-bit) with AMD processors as well (previously only compatible with Intel)

Compilation compatible for PC’s (64-bit) with Intel processors. One application for all input formata of the data (Avaatech, COX Itrax, plain) that can be selected in the settings menu.

Compilation compatible for PC’s (64-bit) with Intel processors and several bug fixes cumulated into version v2.5.

Version 1 of the Xelerate software is available on demand for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
