Description

Instrument taking MCPL input giving Mantid-compatible NeXus output.

1) The instrument coordintate system coincides with the MCPL-file coordinates.
2) The sourceMantid position is freely positionable in that space
3) The sampleMantid position is freely positionable in that space
4) The detector is a single, flat pixellated panel freely positionable in that space

An example mcpl input file corresponding to the default geometry can be generated using
templateSANS_MCPL

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
