We have previously reported in these proceedings on the automation of Wavelength-Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence arid X-ray Diffraction Spectrometers using stepping motors, either installed in place of existing synchronous drive motors, or attached to existing gear or belt drive mechanisms that control the theta/two-theta positioning of the spectrometer. This technique is applicable to most types of instruments (successful adaptations to Philips, Siemens, GE/Diano, and Rigaku systems are working routinely at this writing).
