Old fashioned and basic, but why not just use the dot product cos (Diff) = l1 l2 +m1 m2 +n1 n2 where l m n are the direction cosines of the two rotation axes. The output of GESANT or LSQKAB give you the direction cosines. Any calculator will do the sum! Eleanor On 30 June 2017 at 03:06, Ge

We had the Tritek CrystalPro and now have two Formulatrix RI-1000s. We're very happy with what we have now, and though I don't know what improvements Tritek has made since the version we owned, at the time we found their software clunky, imaging not the best or most consistent, and automation ch
