Software Installation Instructions

Some of the experiments require software that can take some time to download. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or issues.

For Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) experiments, please download or check the following software:

• SasView 
• Igor Pro 
• Reductus (does not need to be downloaded, just check that the browser-based application loads)

More information about the installations can be found here: SANS Software

For Neutron Reflectometry (NR) experiments, please download or check the following software:

• Refl1D
• Reductus (does not need to be downloaded, just check that the browser-based application loads)

More information about the installations can be found here: Reflectometry Software

Additional downloads may be required for your experiment: please also download the experiment-specific files below based on your group assignment.
