Geometry conventions used in xrdPlanner. Translations without any tilt/rotation are the horizontal and vertical distances between the centre of the detector and the PONI (top). The SDD is the distance from the sample to the PONI. A rotation moves the detector along the goniometer circle (constant SDD), keeping the PONI at the same position relative to the detector surface, here the detector centre (lower left). A tilt rolls the detector surface on the goniometer circle, hence the SDD is fixed, but the PONI shifts along the detector face (lower right).
