A new general analytical method is suggested for identifying a crystal system from a powder X-ray pattern with a computer. The formulae relating interferential indices and interplanar spacing of a line with the definite ratio of parameters of the Bravais cell for each crystal system are given. The identification of the system is carried out by selection of three definite lines, indices and interface distances, all of which satisfy the corresponding formulae.
