The TOF neutron diffractometer installed at the Budapest Research Reactor in collaboration with the Hahn-Meitner Institute is ready for preliminary measurements, but became usable to its full capabilities only with the large-surface detector. The instrument with variable in wide range values of diffraction parameters and with the intense, thermal neutron beam is capable to get full diffraction spectra as well as study the Bragg peaks in high resolution mode, i.e. to identify materials and investigate the preparation mode of objects.
