Description

This instrument is a test instrument for the S(q,w) sample.
It produces a tof-angle and q-energy detectors and also exports the
S(q,w) and S(q) data.
The sample environment is a single cylinder.
The sample container has the same shape as the sample itself, but is not
active when using a spherical sample shape (height=0).
detector is 2.5 m diameter, with 40 cm heigh, 1 inch diameter detector tubes.

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
