Koala (quasi-Laue diffractometer)
Commissioning of Koala has commenced, but is now delayed due to difficulties in the instrument control system. Koala is to be returned to the manufacturer in France for repair and at the same time, an upgrade to the instrument interface is being planned which will facilitate reliable running of the instrument. In the meantime, data extraction, reduction and analysis software packages are being installed and reviewed in preparation for the large data flows which can be anticipated from the instrument.
