Identifies histograms and their detectors that have total numbers of counts over a user defined maximum or less than the user define minimum.
Name | Direction | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
InputWorkspace | Input | MatrixWorkspace | Mandatory | Name of the input workspace2D |
OutputWorkspace | Output | MatrixWorkspace | Mandatory | Each histogram from the input workspace maps to a histogram in this workspace with one value that indicates if there was a dead detector |
HighThreshold | Input | number | Optional | Spectra whose total number of counts are equal to or above this value will be marked bad (default off) |
LowThreshold | Input | number | 0 | Spectra whose total number of counts are equal to or below this value will be marked bad (default 0) |
StartWorkspaceIndex | Input | number | 0 | The index number of the first spectrum to include in the calculation (default 0) |
EndWorkspaceIndex | Input | number | Optional | The index number of the last spectrum to include in the calculation (default the last histogram) |
RangeLower | Input | number | Optional | No bin with a boundary at an x value less than this will be used in the summation that decides if a detector is ‘bad’ (default: the start of each histogram) |
RangeUpper | Input | number | Optional | No bin with a boundary at an x value higher than this value will be used in the summation that decides if a detector is ‘bad’ (default: the end of each histogram) |
NumberOfFailures | Output | number |
This is intended to identify detectors that are grossly over or under counting. It reads the input workspace and identifies all histograms with numbers of counts outside the user defined upper and lower limits. Each spectra that fails has its spectra masked on the output workspace. Spectra that pass the test have their data set to a positive value, 1.0. The output workspace can be fed to MaskDetectors v1 to mask the same spectra on another workspace.
Uses the Integration v1 algorithm to sum the spectra.
Example:
import numpy as np
ws = CreateSampleWorkspace(BankPixelWidth=10,NumBanks=1)
#create dome dead and noisy detectors
deadDetArray=[0.0] * ws.blocksize()
noisyDetArray= [100.0] * ws.blocksize()
for i in range(0,ws.getNumberHistograms(),5):
ws.setY(i,np.array(deadDetArray))
ws.setY(i+1,np.array(noisyDetArray))
print "With just the default LowThreshold of 0"
(wsOut,NumberOfFailures)=FindDetectorsOutsideLimits(ws)
print "%i spectra were outside the limits." % NumberOfFailures
print
print "With a High and LowThreshold, as well as restricting the XRange to consider"
(wsOut2,NumberOfFailures)=FindDetectorsOutsideLimits(ws, HighThreshold=1000,
LowThreshold=0, RangeLower=200, RangeUpper=10000)
print "%i spectra were outside the limits." % NumberOfFailures
mtd.clear()
Output:
With just the default LowThreshold of 0
20 spectra were outside the limits.
With a High and LowThreshold, as well as restricting the XRange to consider
40 spectra were outside the limits.
Example:
ws = CreateSimulationWorkspace('MARI','0,1,10')
nh = ws.getNumberHistograms()
for ind in xrange(nh):
y = ws.dataY(ind)
if ind>=100 and ind < 300:
y.fill(100)
else:
y.fill(1)
mws1,nMasked1 = FindDetectorsOutsideLimits(ws,100)
mws2,nMasked2 = FindDetectorsOutsideLimits(ws,100,startWorkspaceIndex = 200)
print "****************************************"
print "full mask ws has {0} masked detectors".format(nMasked1)
print "part mask ws has {0} masked detectors".format(nMasked2)
print "****************************************"
selected_spec = [99,100,199,200,299,300]
for spec in selected_spec:
print "full mask ws Spec N{0} is masked: {1}".format(spec,mws1.readY(spec)[0]>0.5)
print "part mask ws Spec N{0} is masked: {1}".format(spec,mws2.readY(spec)[0]>0.5)
print "****************************************"
Output:
