DMC and HRPT Reference Manual

This is the user documentation for the powder diffractometers DMC and HRPT at the spallation source SINQ situated at the Paul Scherrer Institut, Switzerland. Both powder diffractometers have a monochromator which directs a monochromatic beam on the sample. The diffracted intensity is collected in a multidetector.
