A data acquisition system for a high intensity powder diffractometer at HANARO

A data acquisition (DAQ) and control system for the high intensity powder diffractometer (HIPD) at High-flux Advanced Neutron Application ReactOr (HANARO) is developed in this paper. The HIPD provides the advantage of wide-angle coverage of neutron diffraction operations, which can reduce the time that is required for experiments. The HIPD DAQ and control system was commissioned into operation and the diffraction data of Al2O3 was recorded successfully. The details of the detector, the data acquisition process and the instrument controls system used in the operation of the HIPD are presented.
