This allows the kidney to be controlled in a higher level manner with the goal of putting an analyzer at the desired two-theta angle relative to the sample.

Whenever A4 is moved the kidney is moved to a postion which will put one of the 20
analyzer at the specified 2-theta angle relative to the sample. The analyzer chosen
to sit at the 2-theta angle is chosen based on the current PTAI mode described below:
Manual PTAI Mode:
In this mode (which can be accessed with the ManualPTAI command) whenever A4 is
moved the kidney is moved so that the analyzer with the index corresponding
to PTAI's value is at the two theta position.
Example:
A4 is moved to 30 while in manual mode with the PTAI device at position 8.
The kidney will be rotated so that analyzer 8 is sitting at a two-theta
position of 30 degrees.
Auto PTAI Mode:
In this mode (which can be accessed with the AutoPTAI command) whenever A4 is
moved, PTAI's value is recalculated. PTAI's value is choosen such that when
the corresponding analyzer is moved to the two-theta angle, the kidney's angle
will be as perpendicular to the wall as possible. This position takes into
account any simultaneous movement of the MBTSlide.
BaseSampleTheta is simultaneously moved so that the sample's rotation (A3) ends
at its last commanded destination. This is typically a counter-rotation of same
magnitude as the kidney's rotation. When the kidney finishes moving
and is within tolerance of the specified destination, BaseSampleTheta makes one last
corrective move to account for a descrepency between the kidney's desired destination
and its actual final angle.
If in UB Matrix mode HKL is recalculated, other wise HKL is assigned the value N/A.
