_pd_instr
This section contains information relevant to the instrument used for the diffraction measurement, similar to this IUCr section.
_pd_instr.resolution
In general, the profile of a Bragg reflection centred at the peak position can be approximated by mathematical convolution of contributions from the instrument, called the instrumental resolution function, and from the microstructure of the sample. Because many contributions to powder diffraction peaks have a nearly Gaussian or Lorentzian shape, the pseudo-Voigt function, is widely used to describe peak profiles in powder diffraction.
Half-width parameters (normally characterising the instrumental resolution function) as implemented in CrysPy:
