Dear Upakul, I would recommend downloading and installing the modified Jedit software from John Evans site:
http://www.dur.ac.uk/john.evans/topas_academic/topas_main.htm I have never needed an instrument parameter file with TA because it is possible to set all of your instrument parameters within the inp file. The plugins that come with John Evans Jedit install make setting up the input files extremely clear and considerably easier than going through the manuals for all of the keywords. There are also several instrument-set ups already programmed into the plugin for Johns diffractometers, including a D8. You will need to change the emmission profile wavelength and parameters to a Co source though as (if I am remembering correctly) it is set up with a Cu source. I hope this was helpful.
