The ECHIDNA high‐resolution neutron powder diffractometer at the 20 MW OPAL research reactor in Australia produces high‐quality data for a broad spectrum of crystal and magnetic structural studies. The paper presents an overview of the current status of the hardware, latest developments in data‐reduction software, statistics on instrument usage and the user programme, and instrument limitations.
