A design is presented of apparatus suitable for energy-dispersive diffuse X-ray scattering in which the sample is oriented on a three-circle cradle within a vacuum chamber. The apparatus alignment procedures are discussed and a method given for finding the relevant orientation matrix under the conditions of Laue scattering to a fixed detector. The method also finds the zero positions of the orienter and is not confined to diffuse-scattering applications.
