Procedures for ALL X-Ray Diffraction Experiments using the HI-STAR area detector:
4. Launch the operating software:
a. Open the GADDS program for use with the HI-STAR area detector (It will prompt “set
generator to user setting: 40 KV and 40 mA” →Click Yes)
b. Create a new project folder (→ Project, →new, input information accordingly. Use the working
directory C:\Frames\”year”\”month”\”Sample Name” (This automatically saves subsequent data
collections to the above file path))
5. Check the x-ray beam intensity (Make sure there is no sample or sample holder that
will interfere with the path of the x-rays)
a. Make sure the following slits are in place:
i. 1.5mm slit in the Goebel mirror exit slit (furthest left)
ii. 6.0mm slit with the TWO copper absorbers in the next slit
iii. 1.0mm aperture in the ACC2 exit slit
iv. 1.0mm Universal Beam Collimator is attached
b. Set up a 10 second scan of the beam directly into the detector
i. (→ Collect, →Scan, →SingleRun)
