Definition:
Describes collimation in the axial direction
(perpendicular to the plane containing the incident
and diffracted beams) for the instrument as a slit width
(as opposed to a divergence angle).
Values are the width of the slit (in millimetres) defining:
*_src/mono, collimation between the radiation source
and the monochromator;
*_mono/spec, collimation between the monochromator and
the specimen;
*_src/spec, collimation between the radiation source
and the specimen;
*_spec/anal, collimation between the specimen and the
analyser;
*_anal/detc, collimation between the analyser and the
detector;
*_spec/detc, collimation between the specimen and the
detector.
Note that *_src/spec is used in place of *_src/mono and
*_mono/spec if there is no monochromator in use, and
*_spec/detc is used in place of *_spec/anal and *_anal/detc
if there is no analyser in use.
