collimation:

The collimation command is used to set the instrumental collimation.

The syntax for the collimation command is:

     collimation Source-Monochromator Monochromator-Sample Sample-Analyzer Analyzer-Detector

Example:

     collimation 40 40 60 120

Where the collimation values are in minutes.



The collimation command can also be accessed from the GUI by selecting the Experiment tab from the Setup top-level tab.  To change the collimation values, the green button at the bottom of the tab must be changed from "Monitoring ... Click to allow changes" to "Changing ... click to monitor".  Type in the collimations in the collimation numerical controls (preMONO=source-monochromator; M-S=monochromator-sample; S-A=sample-analyzer; A-D=analyzer-detector) and commit the changes by clicking on the blue Update Parameters button.
