A procedure is presented for computing the resolution function for a time‐of‐flight diffractometer with curved slits chopper using the matrix computation technique. Some focusing conditions are deduced by compensating the major contributions to the variance of the scan variables; these conditions refer to the optimum sample and detector inclination angle and to the optimum chopper angular speed.
