VIRTUAL DMC
This is the SICS-McStas virtual instrument DMC modelled after the real
powder diffcractometer DMC at SINQ:
http://sinq.web.psi.ch/sinq/instr/dmc/dmc.html
The McStas simulation used for this system has been verified against
the real instrument. The basic usage is to start the SICServer with:
./SICServer vdmc.tcl
in this directory. Then you can connect to SICS at localhost/2911
with any SICS client and start issuing commands.
In order to save simulation time, the simulation works with
neutron data files presimulated for four wavelength up to the sample.
This is why you get your wavelength coerced to the nearest
precalculated value.
If you desire to "measure" your own sample on virtual DMC, you first
have to create a LazyPulverix output file. You then can proceed to
load the sample into SICS with the SICS command:
sample load path-to-lazy-pulverix-outputfile
The command:
sample list
tells you which samples virtual DMC already knows about.
