MaskAngle dialog.

Summary

Algorithm to mask detectors with scattering angles in a given interval (in degrees).

Properties

Name Direction Type Default Description
Workspace Input Workspace Mandatory Input workspace
MinAngle Input number 0 Angles above StartAngle are going to be masked
MaxAngle Input number 0 Angles above StartAngle are going to be masked
MaskedDetectors Output int list   List of detector masked, with scatterin angles between MinAngle and MaxAngle

Description

Algorithm to mask detectors with scattering angles in a given interval (in degrees) By default MinAngle=0, MaxAngle=180, so if no keywords are set, all detectors are going to be masked Returns a list of detectors that were masked

Usage

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.

#Load a workspace
ws=Load("CNCS_7860")

#Do the masking for direct beam
mask=MaskAngle(ws,MinAngle=0,MaxAngle=10)
print "The algorithm has masked ",mask.size," detectors"

#to test check a couple of detectors
inst=ws.getInstrument()
print "Is the minimum element in the mask list (detector ",mask.min(),") masked? ",inst.getDetector(int(mask.min())).isMasked()
print "Is the maximum element in the mask list (detector ",mask.max(),") masked? ",inst.getDetector(int(mask.max())).isMasked()
print "Is a detector outside the list masked (for example detector 100)? ", inst.getDetector(100).isMasked()

Output:

The algorithm has masked  1516  detectors
Is the minimum element in the mask list (detector  35126 ) masked?  True
Is the maximum element in the mask list (detector  38601 ) masked?  True
Is a detector outside the list masked (for example detector 100)?  False
