How do I get sequential refinements to work in TOPAS 6?
A tutorial for performing sequential refinements can be found at the following link:

Make sure you have commented out the line the defines the "old version" variable.
There is an error in the example file. To fix this, change the line that reads:
macro filename {Filename (Run_Number)}
to
macro filename {File_Name (Run_Number)}
This is getting the value from the File_Name list at index=Run_Number.
A template TOPAS .inp file with additional comments can be downloaded from the link below:

What do the values mean for the PDF peak shape function?
This macro uses multiple cutoffs and a sphere radius for a transition from correlated (low-r) to uncorrelated (high-r) motion.
beqcut is the beq value to be used in the region between 0 and rcut.
beqlo is the beq value to use in the region between rcut and rlo.
beqhi is the beq value for the region r ≥ 2*radius + rlo
Where do I get the values for the instrument resolution functions from?
The values for dQ, lor and alpha should be refined against a standard with no sample broadening (e.g. Si) and then fixed.
