Reflectometer D17

D17 is the first ILL dedicated reflectometer and it has been designed to be as flexible as possible in resolution and modes of operation. The instrument is suitable for the analysis of surface structures in solids and solid/liquid interfaces. Horizontal surface experiments, such as free liquids, will suffer from a severe restriction in Q-range and flux and are thus not recommended for this instrument.

D17 LAMP Book

After downloading and installing LAMP, you must choose D17 as the working instrument to access the D17 macros (including COSMOS).


On starting LAMP, the top of the LAMP window should look something like this:

Clicking on the button labelled Data: will cause the label on this button to change to Self:.


At the same time, a number of options will appear to the right of the Self: button.


D17 can be chosen as the working instrument by clicking on the button immediately to the right of Self:.  Clicking this button will create a drop menu.  D17 will be found in the LSS group of instruments, as can be seen below:


You can now run the D17 macros by typing them in the MANIPULATIONS window.


The next button to the right gives LAMP the path to the data files.  If you are working from home, you will probably have taken the data with you and put them in a local directory.

To access these files, make sure that the Working Path button is chosen, that correct directory is entered in the field immediately to the right of the button, and that Current Path is selected on the right-most button.

For example, if the D17 data is in C:\Users, the correct LAMP configuration for treating the data with the D17 macros will look like this:
