8.2 Evaluation and Data
Interpretation
Alignment is complete when FWHM matches
the specifications in Table 8.2. The FWHM (res-
olution) is determined using the AREA feature of
the program DIFFRAC
plus
EVA, which is part of
the DIFFRAC
plus
Basic package supplied with
the diffraction system. To learn how to use EVA
and its AREA function, refer to the DIFFRAC
plus
EVA User Manual (M85-Exx002). Check the
alignment if the detector is removed or moved to
another measuring circle. If specifications are
not met, repeat Section 8.1.
