14.31  The StatisticalChopper_Monitor McStas Component

Monitor designed to compute the autocorrelation signal for the Statistical Chopper

Identification

Description

This component is a time sensitive monitor which calculates the cross correlation between the pseudo random sequence of a statistical chopper and the signal received. It mainly uses fonctions of component Monitor_nD. It is possible to use the various options of the Monitor_nD but the user MUST NOT specify "time" in the options. Auto detection of the time limits is possible if the user chooses tmin=>tmax.
