MiniFlex 600: Benchtop X-ray Diffractometer
12
In general, correction value is not registered in MiniFlex 600. The
angle error can be minimized by setting the “
”, which will be described later.
・
MiniFlex 600 performs measurement by reflection method (measurement of
diffraction beam from the sample surface) in general. With this system, about
one-third of the direct beam angle error is the angle error (shift) associated
with the reflection method measurement. The angle error is about 0.003° for
0.01°, and correction is unnecessary.
・
Initialization procedure: Function to move the goniometer to DATUM angle
(10°) and set that position as 10° in software.
13
Select Control - Initialize Individual Axis - Theta/2-Theta, and click the
Execute button.
This procedure is to prevent the direct beam from entering the detector by
moving the current angle.
14
Remove the absorber.
15
Perform the HV/PHA adjustment of SC.
For details, refer to “
HV/PHA Adjustment of Scintillation Counter (SC)
.”
①
Enter the HV value written on the label attached on SC (see Fig. 5.10)
as the initial HV value.
②
After executing HV/PHA Adjustment (BB), a message confirming
whether to register or not will appear . Click the
Yes
button to register.
