This is the top-level workflow algorithm for direct geometry spectrometer data reduction. This algorithm is responsible for gathering the necessary parameters and generating calls to other workflow or standard algorithms.
Example - Simplest SNS Script
config['default.facility'] = "SNS"
# SNS reduction does not require IncidentEnergyGuess since the NeXus
# files contain an EnergyRequest log.
ws = DgsReduction(SampleInputFile="CNCS_7860_event.nxs")
# More than one output from DgsReduction
# (E vs Phi Workspace, Name of Property Manager)
w = ws[0]
# Check the conversion
xaxis = w.getAxis(0).getUnit()
print "X axis =", xaxis.caption(), "/", xaxis.symbol()
print "Energy mode =", w.getEMode()
print "Workspace type =", w.id()
Output:
X axis = Energy transfer / meV
Energy mode = Direct
Workspace type = Workspace2D
Example - Simplest ISIS Script
config['default.facility'] = "ISIS"
# ISIS reduction required IncidentEnergyGuess since RAW files don't
# have a corresponding log.
ws = DgsReduction(SampleInputFile="MAR11001.raw",
IncidentEnergyGuess=12)
# More than one output from DgsRedution
# (E vs Phi Workspace, Name of Property Manager)
w = ws[0]
# Check the conversion
xaxis = w.getAxis(0).getUnit()
print "X axis =", xaxis.caption(), "/", xaxis.symbol()
print "Energy mode =", w.getEMode()
print "Workspace type =", w.id()
Output:
X axis = Energy transfer / meV
Energy mode = Direct
Workspace type = Workspace2D
Example - Get as Eventworkspace for SNS
The following shows that event data can be the result of the redcuction instead of histogram data.
config['default.facility'] = "SNS"
ws = DgsReduction(SampleInputFile="CNCS_7860_event.nxs",
IncidentBeamNormalisation="ByCurrent",
SofPhiEIsDistribution=False)
w = ws[0]
print "Workspace type =", w.id()
print "Number of events =", w.getNumberEvents()
Output:
Workspace type = EventWorkspace
Number of events = 78037
Example - Correct Data Before Reduction for SNS
The following is a contrived example to show that the data can be loaded and corrected and/or filtered before passing it to the algorithm. The key here is that the *InputWorkspace properties must be used. It also shows a couple of more properties being used.
config['default.facility'] = "SNS"
ws = Load("CNCS_7860_event.nxs", LoadMonitors=True)
monitor = ws[1]
valC3 = ws[0].getRun()['Phase3'].getStatistics().median
ws = FilterByLogValue(ws[0], LogName="Phase3", MinimumValue=valC3-0.3,
MaximumValue=valC3+0.3)
# Although CNCS doesn't use its monitors, this is how instruments that do need
# to call the algorithm.
ws = DgsReduction(SampleInputWorkspace=ws, SampleInputMonitorWorkspace=monitor,
IncidentBeamNormalisation="ByCurrent", SofPhiEIsDistribution=False)
w = ws[0]
print "Workspace type =", w.id()
print "Number of events =", w.getNumberEvents()
Output:
Workspace type = EventWorkspace
Number of events = 2178
