## Description

    This instrument is the conventional cold-source triple-axis spectrometer TAS1
    at Risoe National Laboratory. It does not exist anymore, but was used as the
    first detailed work performed with the McStas package.
    Here it is used as a diffractometer for an alignment study. The
    sample is a powder and there is no analyzer.

    Example: mcrun linup-5.instr C1=30

## Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
