# SCDPanelErrors¶

## Description¶

This fit function is used for calibrating RectangularDetectors by adjusting L0, time offset, panel width, panel height, panel center, panel orientation, and allow for the sample being offset from the instrument center.

### Workspace¶

A Workspace2D with 1 spectra. The xvalues of the spectra are for each peak, the peak index repeated 3 times. The y values are all zero and the errors are all 1.0

This spectra may have to be copied 3 times because of requirements from the fitting system.

### Output¶

The argument out from function1D ,for each peak, gives the error in qx, qy, and qz. The theoretical values for the qx, qy and qz are found as follows:

• Calculating the best fitting UB for the given indexing and parameter values

• Find U

• The theoretical UB is then U*B0 where B0 is formed from the supplied lattice parameters

• The theoretical qx,qy,and qz can be obtained by multiplying the hkl for the peak by this matrix(/2π)

## Attributes (non-fitting parameters)¶

Name

Type

Default

Description

a

The lattice parameter a in Angstroms

b

The lattice parameter b in Angstroms

c

The lattice parameter c in Angstroms

alpha

The lattice parameter alpha in degrees

beta

The lattice parameter beta in degrees

gamma

The lattice parameter gamma in degrees

PeakWorkspaceName

The name of the PeaksWorkspace

NGroups

The number of grouping of banks to be considered

BankNames

List of banknames to group.

startX

-1 or starting position in the workspace to start calculating the outputs

endX

-1 or 1+ ending position in the workspace to start calculating the outputs

RotateCenters

Boolean

If false Rotations are only about the center of the banks.

SampleOffsets

Boolean

A sample being off from the center of the goniometer can result in larger errors.

• PeakWorkspaceName - This peak must be indexed by a UB matrix whose lattice parametersare CLOSE to the above lattice parameters

• BankNames - Names separated by “/” or a “!” if the next bank is in a different group. Bank names from the same group belong together(“Requirement” for use with the Fit algorithm)
