Properties

Name	Direction	Type	Default	Description
Workspace1	Input	Workspace	Mandatory	The name of the first input workspace.
Workspace2	Input	Workspace	Mandatory	The name of the second input workspace.
Tolerance	Input	number	0	The maximum amount by which values may differ between the workspaces.
CheckType	Input	boolean	True	Whether to check that the data types (Workspace2D vs EventWorkspace) match.
CheckAxes	Input	boolean	True	Whether to check that the axes match.
CheckSpectraMap	Input	boolean	True	Whether to check that the spectra-detector maps match.
CheckInstrument	Input	boolean	True	Whether to check that the instruments match.
CheckMasking	Input	boolean	True	Whether to check that the bin masking matches.
CheckSample	Input	boolean	False	Whether to check that the sample (e.g. logs).
Result	Output	string
ToleranceRelErr	Input	boolean	False	Treat tolerance as relative error rather then the absolute error. This is only applicable to Matrix workspaces.
CheckAllData	Input	boolean	False	Usually checking data ends when first mismatch occurs. This forces algorithm to check all data and print mismatch to the debug log. Very often such logs are huge so making it true should be the last option.
NumberMismatchedSpectraToPrint	Input	number	1	Number of mismatched spectra from lowest to be listed.
DetailedPrintIndex	Input	number	Optional	Mismatched spectra that will be printed out in details.

Description

This algorithm is deprecated. Please use CompareWorkspaces instead.

Compares two workspaces for equality. This algorithm is mainly intended for use by Mantid developers as part of the testing process.

The data values (X,Y and error) are always checked. The algorithm can also optionally check the axes (this includes the units), the spectra-detector map, the instrument (the name and parameter map) and any bin masking.

In the case of EventWorkspaces, they are checked to hold identical event lists. Comparisons between an EventList and a Workspace2D always fail.

Usage

Example - check that two workspaces are equal to one another:

dataX = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
dataY = [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1]
ws1 = CreateWorkspace(dataX, dataY)

#create a copy of the workspace
ws2 = CloneWorkspace(ws1)

print(CheckWorkspacesMatch(ws1, ws2))

Output:

Success!

Example - check that two workspaces match within a certain tolerance:

import numpy as np

#create a workspace with some simple data
dataX = range(0,20)
dataY1 = np.sin(dataX)
ws1 = CreateWorkspace(dataX, dataY1)

#create a similar workspace, but with added noise
dataY2 = np.sin(dataX) + 0.1*np.random.random_sample(len(dataX))
ws2 = CreateWorkspace(dataX, dataY2)

print(CheckWorkspacesMatch(ws1, ws2)) #fails, they're not the same
print(CheckWorkspacesMatch(ws1, ws2, Tolerance=0.1)) #passes, they're close enough

Output:

Data mismatch
Success!
