Extract

Conventional pole figure instruments consist of a scintillation detector mounted on a 4-circle goniometer operating under computer control. A few instruments make use of a linear PSD detector, which allows collecting data for multiple pole figures sinmltaneously. A PSD does not reduce the required data collection time for the primary pole figure; however, it does save time by eliminating the need to recollect multiple pole figure data. By using a 2D “area” detector, one can simultaneously collect multiple pole figures and reduce the data collection time for the primary pole figure, such an area detector pole figure processing package, GADDS v2, was developed at Siemens and will be discussed.
