Click here for an overview comparing dSNAP, PolySNAP and PolySNAP M.
SNAP software is developed
by the
Theoretical Crystallography group at the University of Glasgow, and is
exclusively distributed by Bruker AXS.
PolySNAP Demo
A fully functional,
but time-limited demonstration version of either PolySNAP 3 or PolySNAP M is
available on request.
Please visit The Bruker PolySnap website to request a demo.
System Requirements
PolySNAP requires a
modern, high-specification PC running Microsoft Windows XP
SP1 or later.
Additionally, a monitor with minimum 1024 x 768 resolution at 32 bit colour depth is needed.
Graphics cards with OpenGL optimisation are recommended. The graphics demands can be considerable when a large number of structures are being displayed.

Average Run-Times
On a 2.4 Ghz Intel Xeon
with 512 Mb
RAM, running Windows 2000 Professional SP4, some approximate program
run-times are shown below.
Times are assuming no delays waiting for data, and are measured from launching the program to the results display screen being displayed:
