At the beginning, the program shows a short logo and prompts you for the batch file name:
batch file :
give the name of your job file (e.g. strain.job from the ./demo folder) or press <enter> to work interactively.
In the interactive mode, the program asks you to select energy units,
Energy In m[eV] Or T[Hz]? (meV)m
Units Are [meV]
absolute path, where the data files will be searched for,
Path to the spectra files - ../data/
and the name of the file with the RESCAL input parameters or experimantal data compatible with the ILL format,
Name of a parameter or data file - strain.res
and waits for your commands,
ResTrax> _
You can type the help command to view a brief list of commands accepted by the program and their meaning. If a file simres.hlp is present in the current directory, program lists this file instead of the built-in list. You can edit "simres.hlp" to your convenience.
Example: List of the parameters, which can be modified from the command line:

Configuration file format:
Each component in the file is described by 2 rows, the first one (actually not read by the program) contains head with the parameter names, the second one contains parameter values in free format. All dimensions are given in [cm].

This items describe in-pile collimation, typically neutron guide, but possibly also windows in the shutter etc.. Together with the "collimator 1" it permits to define neutron guide or more complicated in pile collimation. The first parameter in section B specifies whether these 2 segments are present (>0 yes, 0 no). The other parameters have the meaning common for all "collimator components".

These
items describe the collimators between the source (after n-guide), monochromator,
sample , analyzer and detector. The meaning of parameters is described
in the section on "collimator
components". The collimator between monochromator and sample has
2 sections. The 1st number of the A-section is the gap (not distance)
between the both sections.
