What is a XRDML file?
XRDML is a filename extension associated with a program for analyzing diffraction in crystals, developed by PANalyticial.
XRDML files are used for storing analytical data collected by external measuring devices. XRDML files store data in XML format. Originally XRDML were binary files, but due to various difficulties with parsing binary data for information the specification was changed to text format. X-ray diffraction is a process of determining chemical composition and crystalline structure of materials.

How to open XRDML files
If you cannot open the XRDML file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports XRDML among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the XRDML file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the XRDML format files
The inability to open and operate the XRDML file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the PANalytical XRD Measurement Data XML file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a XRDML file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the XRDML file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the XRDML from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the XRDML format
- The XRDML file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the XRDML file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a XRDML file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the XRDML file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the XRDML file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the XRDML file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.
How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.XRDML) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected XRDML file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the XRDML file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. XRDML) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
