A step scan is made over the peak and the results are displayed as a ‘bar graph. In the calibration procedure, the zero offset must be calibrated first using one goniometer channel as aroter- ence, then the angle is calibrated for each of the other goniometer channels.

All these input fields can be changed using the Edit mode. {", after measurement, the new peak angleis different from the previous angle, the commandline willbe replaced by the question: “Save new peak angle [YIN]" ‘The results of the calibration are stored in the lower right-hand side of the action form. This shows the peak count, the ‘ld peak angle, the new peak angle and the difference between them.
