Material Set-Up
5.1 Introduction
Cygnus 2 can store definition parameters for up to 6 Materials. Any Material that is
to be used must be defined. Materials can be defined by referencing the internal
Material Library containing more than two hundred cataloged materials and by
completing a series of parameter entries at the front panel.
Material Set-Up is initiated by moving the cursor to the Material heading on the
Main Menu and pressing MENU. To return to the Main Menu screen, press MENU
again.
5.1.1 Material Overview Page
The Material Overview display, see Figure 5-1, shows all 6 available Materials.
Materials are initially shown as Material 1 to Material 6. Use the right arrow cursor
to move into the Material table.

the chemical formulas with its correct density and Z-Ratio values to this Material #,
move the cursor to the appropriate library display: Lib A-Hf, Lib Hf-Sc or Lib Sc-Z.
