EXEQ and InEXEQ software tools for experiment planning at the Extreme Environment Diffractometer

The Extreme Environment Diffractometer was a neutron time of flight instrument equipped with a constant field hybrid magnet providing magnetic fields up to 26 amp; 8197;T. The magnet infrastructure and sample environment imposed limitations on the geometry of the experiment, making it necessary to plan the experiment with care. EXEQ is the software tool developed to allow users of the instrument to find the optimal sample orientation for their diffraction experiment. InEXEQ fulfilled the same role for the inelastic neutron scattering experiments.
