     13This tool enables X-ray users to calculate the slit size (FWHM/2) for resolution  
     14smearing purposes based on their half beam profile data (as Q vs Intensity; any  
     15other data fields are ignored).

     18------

     20The tool works by sequentially summing 10 or more intensity values until a  
     21maximum value is attained. It then locates the Q values for the points just before,  
     22and just after, **half** of this maximum value and interpolates between them to get  
     23an accurate value for the Q value for the half maximum.

     27The beam profile file does not carry any information about the units of the  
     28Q data. It is probably |nm^-1| but the resolution calculations assume the slit  
     29height/width has units of |Ang^-1|. If the beam profile data is not in these  
     30units then it, or the result, must be manually converted.
