[neutron-mc] mcresplot

[Jörg Voigt]

I have some more question to the resolution components: 
1. If I use TOFRes_sample I have to set the time_width. I used now a value of 
5 µs, which  is the channel width of the sv29 spectrometer. Apparently this 
gives a very good energy resolution, when I modell a time focused instrument. 
Changing the value to 15 µs gives broadened energy distribution, that comes 
closer to reality. However, I don't understand, how I choose a correct value 
for this parameter.  In an instrument without time focusing, e.g. a tof-tof 
instrument, this parameter has only a weak influence.
2. If I use traget_index=+1, kf as determined by a subsequent Res_monitor with 
box shape is allways ~(0 0 kz) in my detector-file, no matter, how much I 
rotate the instrument. Do I have to rotate kf 'by hand'?
3. I still can't get mcresplot.pl working. However, I figured out a 
work-around in matlab, based on what I understand from the perl-script. As 
long as my data-array is not to big, I use the matlab text output and 
everything is fine. When it became bigger, I tried the binary output for 
matlab, but I can't import that output. 

Thank you all for any help
