Abstract

A conventional Bragg-Brentano type diffractometer was equipped with a stepping motor, a timer, and a scaler, and an MC68000 Motorola microprocessor which controls the diffractometer functions. The microprocessor was programmed to operate the diffractometer in a step-scanning mode, to check a datum and to communicate with a process control computer, e.g. a PDP 11/44 or a Micro VaxII computer.
