Table of Contents
Name | Direction | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
Filename | Input | string | Mandatory | The name of the CanSAS1D file to load. Allowed extensions: [‘.xml’] |
OutputWorkspace | Output | Workspace | Mandatory | The name to use for the output workspace |
LoadTransmission | Input | boolean | False | Load the transmission related data from the file if it is present (optional, default False). |
Loads the given file, which should be in the CanSAS1d format specified by canSAS 1D Data Formats Working Group schema http://svn.smallangles.net/svn/canSAS/1dwg/trunk/cansas1d.xsd and creates output workspace. CANSAS has a Wiki page at http://www.smallangles.net/wgwiki/index.php/canSAS_Working_Groups
If the file contains mulitple SASentry elements a workspace group will be created and each SASentry will be one workspace in the group. Loading multiple SASdata elements is not supported.
Example - Save/Load “Roundtrip”
import os
# Create dummy workspace.
dataX = [0,1,2,3]
dataY = [9,5,7]
out_ws = CreateWorkspace(dataX, dataY, UnitX="MomentumTransfer")
file_path = os.path.join(config["defaultsave.directory"], "canSASData.xml")
# Do a "roundtrip" of the data.
SaveCanSAS1D(out_ws, file_path)
in_ws = LoadCanSAS1D(file_path)
print "Contents of the file = " + str(in_ws.readY(0)) + "."
Output:
Contents of the file = [ 9. 5. 7.].
