Experimental Software Design of Neutron Texture Diffractometer at China Advanced Research Reactor

The experimental software of the neutron texture diffractometer at China Advanced Research Reactor (CARR) was designed. Based on the principle of texture measurement by neutron diffraction and the motion control and data acquisition system of the diffractometer, the functions needed for texture measurement were proposed. Then the flow charts of these functions were described in detail and realized by Python language in Linux system. The experimental software for CARR neutron texture diffractometer has been successfully accomplished.
