# The `templateNMX_TOF` Instrument

*McStas: A simple Laue NMX TOF diffractometer for macromolecules, adapted from templateNMX
and templateLaue instruments.

Demonstrates use of PSD_monitor_TOF.

Example: templateNMX_TOF.instr REPS=53 reflections=Rubredoxin.lau theta=-40.85 phi=15.188 xw=0.012 yh=0.012 tmin=13000 tmax=15000 Detector: det_I=78816.1
Example: templateNMX_TOF.instr REPS=5 reflections=YBaCuO.lau theta=-91.1 phi=0 xw=0.012 yh=0.012 tmax=7000 tmin=5000 Detector: det_I=6277.74*
