User Guide¶
Int3D is a software package developed at the Institut Laue Langevin for performing the data reduction for single crystal diffraction in neutron diffractometers with area detectors. It also contains a small module for performing the data reduction for neutron powder diffraction.
Int3D can be easily adapted to any instrument with an area detector. The data collected by the detector is generally read from hdf5 or nexus files, the structure of which varies from instrument to instrument. Creating a routine to correctly read the hdf5 file is all that is needed to incorporate a new instrument. Int3D is currently able to work with data from different instruments of several neutron sources:
