Monochromator_bent ComponentThis monochromator is an array of crystals, that can be bent. The crystals are placed by the user in the x,y,z pos and rot parameters. The crystal is bent, so that it follows a curve on a cylinder of radius_x. The monochromator lies along the z plane, so when a diffraction angle of theta is desired, it should just be inserted in the ROTATED parameter around the y-axis. Instruments that showcase the use of this component is the "Test_monochromator_bent.instr", and the "ILL_SALSA.instr" under the examples folder. SALSA showcases its complex use in a real instrument, while Test_monochromator_bent makes a simple show of its capabilities.
