Summary

Generate grouping files for ARCS, CNCS, HYSPEC, and SEQUOIA.

Properties

Name Direction Type Default Description
AlongTubes Input string 1 Number of pixels across tubes to be grouped. Allowed values: [‘1’, ‘2’, ‘4’, ‘8’, ‘16’, ‘32’, ‘64’, ‘128’]
AcrossTubes Input string 1 Number of pixels across tubes to be grouped. Allowed values: [‘1’, ‘2’, ‘4’, ‘8’]
Instrument Input string ARCS The instrument for wich to create grouping. Allowed values: [‘ARCS’, ‘CNCS’, ‘HYSPEC’, ‘SEQUOIA’]
Filename Input string Mandatory Output filename. Allowed extensions: [‘.xml’]

Description

Generate grouping files for ARCS, CNCS, HYSPEC, and SEQUOIA, by grouping py pixels along a tube and px tubes. py is 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128. px is 1, 2, 4, or 8.

Note

All parameters are strings. Using integers for AlongTubes or AcrossTubes will cause errors

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.

# create some grouping file
import mantid
outputFilename=mantid.config.getString("defaultsave.directory")+"cncs.xml"
GenerateGroupingSNSInelastic(outputFilename,AlongTubes="16",AcrossTubes="4",Instrument="CNCS")

#check that it works
import os.path
if(os.path.isfile(outputFilename)):
    print "Found file cncs.xml"

ws=Load("CNCS_7860")
wsg=GroupDetectors(ws,outputFilename)
print "The grouped workspace has ",wsg.getNumberHistograms(), " histograms"

Output:

Found file cncs.xml
The grouped workspace has  800  histograms

If one would use LoadDetectorsGroupingFile on cncs.xml one would get a workspace that looks like
