+ !!Lambda/2 mode |
+ |
+ To use Lambda /2 neutrons without changing A2 just divide the monochromator d-spacing by a factor of 2, i.e. go from 3.354 A to 1.677 A |
+ |
+ > tasub mono dd 1.677 |
+ |
+ > tasub update |
+ |
+ |
+ Next drive Ei and Ef to 4 times the initial energy. |
+ For example for 5 meV = 4.04 A drive Ei and Ef to 20 meV =2.02 A |
+ |
+ Note, that the primary instrument, i.e. the monochromator will not move. The analyzer however will move, so make sure that any field from a magnet is set to zero. |

+ !! Disabling and enabling motors |
+ |
+ For all the motors from the DeltaTau controllers, to enable them in SIX you just type, for example |
+ |
+ sgu enable 1 |
+ |
+ and to inhibit them, type e.g. |
+ |
+ sgu enable 0 |
+ |
+ To list which (of the DeltaTau) motors are enabled or inhibited, just type |
+ |
+ enable |
+ |
+ |
+ To disable or enable the sample table, i.e. the morors tu,tl,sgu and sgl you can use the commands disabletable and enabletable |
+ |
+ To disbale or enable the slits use disbaleslits or enableslits. |
+ You have to disable the motors, before you physically disconnect them, i,e. when removing the sample table or the slits in case of cryomagnet operation. |
+ |
+ |
+ If you enable or inhibit the motor manually using the hardware switch, it may take up to 30 seconds for SIX to update this parameter and to realise what you've done. |
+ |
+ ML has also stopped SIX from automatically enabling all the motors when SIX is started. |

+ !!Filters |

+ |
+ bef in |
+ |
+ bef out |
+ |
+ The rotation of the filters is controlled by the command brot. |
