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.
