NormaliseToUnity v1

Summary

NormaliseToUnity takes a 2D workspace or an EventWorkspace as input and normalises it to 1. Optionally, the range summed can be restricted in either dimension.

Properties

Name	Direction	Type	Default	Description
InputWorkspace	Input	MatrixWorkspace	Mandatory	The name of the input workspace.
OutputWorkspace	Output	MatrixWorkspace	Mandatory	The name with which to store the output workspace in the [[Analysis Data Service]]
RangeLower	Input	number	Optional	The X (frame) value to integrate from
RangeUpper	Input	number	Optional	The X (frame) value to integrate to
StartWorkspaceIndex	Input	number	0	The lowest workspace index of the specta that will be integrated
EndWorkspaceIndex	Input	number	Optional	The highest workspace index of the spectra that will be integrated
IncludePartialBins	Input	boolean	False	If true then partial bins from the beginning and end of the input range are also included in the integration.
IncludeMonitors	Input	boolean	True	Whether to include monitor spectra in the sum (default: yes)

Description

NormaliseToUnity uses Integration v1 to sum up all the X bins, then sums up the resulting spectra using SumSpectra v1. Each bin of the input workspace is then divided by the total sum, regardless of whether a bin was included in the sum or not. It is thus possible to normalize a workspace so that a range of X bins and spectra sums to 1. In that case the sum of the whole workspace will likely not be equal to 1.

Usage

Example - Normalise for 4 spectra each with 5 values

# Create a workspace with 4 spectra each with 5 values
ws = CreateSampleWorkspace("Histogram",  NumBanks=1, BankPixelWidth=2, BinWidth=10, Xmax=50)

# Run algorithm
wsNorm = NormaliseToUnity (ws)

print("Normalised Workspace")
for i in range(4):
   print("[ {:.4f}, {:.4f}, {:.4f}, {:.4f}, {:.4f} ]".format(
         wsNorm.readY(i)[0], wsNorm.readY(i)[1], wsNorm.readY(i)[2],
         wsNorm.readY(i)[3], wsNorm.readY(i)[4]))

Output:

Normalised Workspace
[ 0.2239, 0.0065, 0.0065, 0.0065, 0.0065 ]
[ 0.2239, 0.0065, 0.0065, 0.0065, 0.0065 ]
[ 0.2239, 0.0065, 0.0065, 0.0065, 0.0065 ]
[ 0.2239, 0.0065, 0.0065, 0.0065, 0.0065 ]
