This section contains calibration information that is
not looped
This category details the equations used to convert a channel number
supplied in _pd_meas.channel for a position-sensitive or
energy-dispersive detector or the distance supplied in _pd_meas.position
to Q, energy, angle etc.

This information is not designed to be machine-readable, but should be
written in an explicit manner to enable reimplementation.

For a machine-readable implementation, please see PD_CALIB_XCOORD.

Gain settings slight affected the detector linearity.
The gain was fixed at 4.2 as this produced the most
linear response. This value was fixed for all data
collection, including the standards.

The calibration equation is a human-readable method of determining the
conversion of, in this case, channel to energy. The channel number is
calibrated from the diffractogram EDD_STANDARD to give the energy of the
detected X-rays in electron volts. The quadratic formula given allows
the calibration to be applied to other diffractograms collected
on the same instrument.

The calibration function for converting a channel number
The calibration equation for converting a channel number
supplied in _pd_meas.detector_id for a position-sensitive
or energy-dispersive detector or the distance supplied in
_pd_meas.position to Q, energy, angle etc.

the data block containing the data used to determine the
parameter values in this function.
