Technical development at the Materials Research end-station

The report summarizes the most important technical developments realized in 2003/2004 at the Materials Research end-station. There are described new programs which simplify the visualisation and analysis of a large amount of data. These data are collected by a linear position sensitive detector (PSD) and a multi-channel analyzer. Additionally, an electronic stepperrmotor controller switch had been developed. It allows to use two different types of stepper motor controllers to control four of the axes of a 6-circle HUBER-diffractometrer by two different instrumentation systems.
