| Name | Direction | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| InputWorkspace | Input | MatrixWorkspace | Mandatory | An input workspace to correct. |
| TwoTheta | Input | number | Mandatory | Angle used to correct the detector component. |
| DetectorComponentName | Input | string | Mandatory | Name of the detector component to correct, i.e. point-detector |
| SampleComponentName | Input | string | some-surface-holder | Name of the sample component, i.e. some-surface-holder |
| OutputWorkspace | Output | MatrixWorkspace | Mandatory | An output workspace. |
Moves the specified detector component vertically so that the angle between the beam and the sample-to-detector vector is TwoTheta. The detector component is moved as a block. The rest of the instrument components remain in the original position.
For version 1 of the algorithm, please see SpecularReflectionPositionCorrect-v1.
Note
To run these usage examples please first download the usage data, and add these to your path. In MantidPlot this is done using Manage User Directories.
Example - Correct ‘point-detector’
polref = Load(Filename=r'POLREF00004699.raw', PeriodList=1)
polref = polref[0]
instr = polref.getInstrument()
print instr.getComponentByName('point-detector').getPos()
polref = SpecularReflectionPositionCorrect(polref, TwoTheta = 2*0.49, DetectorComponentName='point-detector')
instr = polref.getInstrument()
print instr.getComponentByName('point-detector').getPos()
Output:
[25.6,0,0.0444961]
[25.6,0,0.0444753]
Example - Correct ‘lineardetector’
polref = Load(Filename=r'POLREF00004699.raw', PeriodList=1)
polref = polref[0]
instr = polref.getInstrument()
print instr.getComponentByName('lineardetector').getPos()
polref = SpecularReflectionPositionCorrect(polref, TwoTheta = 2*0.49, DetectorComponentName='lineardetector')
instr = polref.getInstrument()
print instr.getComponentByName('lineardetector').getPos()
Output:
[26,0,0]
[26,0,0.0513177]
Example - Correct ‘OSMOND’
polref = Load(Filename=r'POLREF00004699.raw', PeriodList=1)
polref = polref[0]
instr = polref.getInstrument()
print instr.getComponentByName('OSMOND').getPos()
polref = SpecularReflectionPositionCorrect(polref, TwoTheta = 2*0.49, DetectorComponentName='OSMOND')
instr = polref.getInstrument()
print instr.getComponentByName('OSMOND').getPos()
Output:
[26,0,0]
[26,0,0.0513177]
