Description

Very simple test instrument for the SasView_model component.

Modified to show a proof of concept method for storing a 'Mantid friendly' type of NeXus file.

Needed steps (McStas):
1) Compile your instrument with NeXus library and ISO c99 support
2) Generate an IDF using mcdisplay templateSANS_Mantid --format=Mantid -n0
3) mcrun templateSasView_Mantid -n1e6 --format=NeXus

Needed steps (Mantid):
a) Load McStas NeXus file
b) Run Mantid algorithm: 'ConvertUnits' using the 'wavelenth' and 'elastic' options
c) Run Mantid algorithm: 'Qxy' using the options 'MaxQxy=0.6', 'DeltaQ=0.003', 'SolidAngleWeighting=False'

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.

Name	Unit	Description	Default
lambda	AA	Mean wavelength of neutrons	6
dlambda	AA	Wavelength spread of neutrons	0.05
