Abstract
A computer program for controlling diffractometers is described. At present it is capable of controlling a four-circle diffractometer in a variety of calculation modes, a two-circle diffractometer, and also a z-axis diffractometer. The program includes on-screen plotting of both the current scan and previous scans. There is a separate program which consists of the plotting subset of the commands so that while one user is collecting data other users can be analyzing old data simultaneously. Extensive on-line help is provided. The program is written in fortran, runs on the VMS operating system, and is primarily dependent on CAMAC for data collection.Keywords
