RE: [sdpd] Optimal instrument configuration

Hi again,

About the Philips X'celerator. A gain in speed of up to 99 is claimed.
http://www.analytical.philips.com/products/xrd/xpertpro/x_celerator/
It is also claimed that the large reduction in data collection
time can of course also be used to increase the resolution
of the diffractogram. In order to prove that, the NIST corundum
plate SRM1976 was measured overnight :

I should state that we obtain that resolution and statistics quality
by using a proportional counter in 10 nights, not in 99 nights (but
not stripping alpha-2 with an incident beam monochromator...).

So, is there not some exaggeration with the X'celerator ?-). Do
users can confirm ?

I suppose that this new type of detector (Real Time Multiple Strip)
will be proposed soon by the other manufacturers, or is there
an exclusive Philips licence ?
