Summary

Multiplies a SANS workspace by an absolute scale and divides it by the sample volume.

Properties

Name Direction Type Default Description
SANSState Input Dictionary   A property manager which fulfills the SANSState contract.
InputWorkspace Input MatrixWorkspace Mandatory The input workspace
OutputWorkspace Output MatrixWorkspace Mandatory The scaled output workspace

Description

This algorithm scales a SANS workspace according to the settings in the state object. The scaling includes division by the volume of the sample and multiplication by an absolute scale. Currently the mask mechanism is implemented for SANS2D, LOQ and LARMOR.

Relevant SANSState entries for SANSScale

The required information for the scale operation is retrieved from a state object.

The elements of the scale state are:

Entry Type Description Mandatory Default value
shape SampleShape enum The shape of the sample No None
thickness Float The sample thickness in m No None
width Float The sample width in m None  
height Float The sample height in m None  
scale Float The absolute scale No None
shape_from_file SampleShape enum The shape of the sample as stored on the data file auto setup Cylinder
thickness_from_file Float The thickness of the sample as stored on the data file auto setup
width_from_file Float The width of the sample as stored on the data file auto setup
height_from_file Float The height of the sample as stored on the data file auto setup

Note that these settings should be only populated via the GUI or the Python Interface of ISIS SANS.
