+ <!-- BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF Inter INSTRUMENT:
+
+ Here Z=0 is defined by the neutron beam which slopes down at 2.3 deg.
+ from the horizon. This description is based on data provided by Tim
+ Charlton and Rob Dalgliesh.
+
+ Note from Tim spreedsheet
+ theta is a rotation about the y axis
+ phi is a rotation about the x axis
+ chi is a rotation about the z axis
+
+ Noticed the face of the monitors/detector shapes that faces the
+ beam/sample path is in this IDF defined to be the y-z plane.
+
+ Note the status of the instrument during a run is stored in the
+ logfile RunNo_status.txt
