Description

This instrument is the conventional cold-source triple-axis spectrometer TAS1
at Risoe National Laboratory. It does not exist anymore, but was used as the
first detailed work performed with the McStas package.
Here it is used as a diffractometer for a collimator tilt alignment. The
detector is at the sample position and there is no analyzer.
