+If the box is checked, a positive angle corresponds to a counter-clockwise sense, i.e. corresponding
to the usual mathematical definition, and alternatively to a clockwise sense when unchecked.
From the standpoint of the physics to be studied in the sample, these signs have no influence
in practice. They do, however, strongly affect the resolution of the instrument \cite{Eckold2014} \cite[p. 260]{Shirane2002}
