Instrumental parameters file

2009-12-17 Thread Deka, U. (Upakul Deka)
Hi All,

I am an absolute beginner to this community and Rietveld. I have been trying to 
get a grip on TOPAS-Academic (v4). I was wondering if anyone could let me know 
where to get hold of an instrumental parameter file for a Bruker D8 advance (Co 
source). We use this in our laboratory. I have been trying to search for this 
without much success. Of course I could create one myself, but if one is 
already available, it saves us some time.

Thanks in advance.
Best regards

Dear Upakul,

I would recommend downloading and installing the modified Jedit software
from John Evans site:

http://www.dur.ac.uk/john.evans/topas_academic/topas_main.htm

I have never needed an instrument parameter file with TA because it is
possible to set all of your instrument parameters within the inp file. The
plugins that come with John Evans Jedit install make setting up the input
files extremely clear and considerably easier than going through the
manuals for all of the keywords.

There are also several instrument-set ups already programmed into the
plugin for Johns diffractometers, including a D8. You will need to change
the emmission profile wavelength and parameters to a Co source though as
(if I am remembering correctly) it is set up with a Cu source.

I hope this was helpful.
Best regards
