PyChop is a program to calculate the energy resolution of a time-of-flight (ToF) neutron spectrometer from the burst time of the instrument's moderator and the opening times of its choppers.
The code is based on CHOP, a fortran program written by T. G. Perring,
and multirep, a Matlab program by R. I. Bewley.
This is a port of the Mantid PyChop code to work without Mantid.
Further documentation is available on the Mantid webpage
