OFFSPEC
Background & Timeline
OFFSPEC is an advanced reflectometer instrument at ISIS, on TS2. The OFFSPEC web page describes the background to the instrument.
This page collects information that will be useful for the implementation of the IBEX control system on OFFSPEC.
Information about OFFSPEC (and reflectometers in general)
Bench moves so that angle is correct this requires motors at front and back to change positions and the bench to slide in and out. This maintains the distance from the detector to the sample in an arc.
Control System
OFFSPEC will migrate from the SECI control system to the IBEX control system in MMMMMMMM YYYY.
OFFSPEC Equipment
The equipment listed below is used on OFFSPEC. Please add new information (e.g. new items of equipment, new notes, information about drivers, etc. to this table).
