LoadParameterFile dialog.
Table of Contents
Loads instrument parameters into a workspace. where these parameters are associated component names as defined in Instrument Definition File (IDF) or a string consisting of the contents of such.
| Name | Direction | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Workspace | InOut | MatrixWorkspace | Mandatory | The name of the workspace to load the instrument parameters into. |
| Filename | Input | string | The filename (including its full or relative path) of a parameter definition file. The file extension must either be .xml or .XML. Allowed extensions: [‘.xml’] | |
| ParameterXML | Input | string | The parameter definition XML as a string. |
This algorithm allows instrument parameters to be specified in a separate file from the IDF. The required format for this file is identical to that used for defining parameters through <component-link> tags in an IDF. Below is an example of how to define a parameter named ‘test’ to be associated with a component named ‘bank_90degnew’ defined in the IDF of the HRPD instrument:
Components may also be identified by the id of a detector. The example below also demonstrates how to define a parameter named ‘test2’ for a component whose detector has an id of ‘14’.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<parameter-file instrument="HRPD" valid-from="YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS">
<component-link name="bank_90degnew" >
<parameter name="test"> <value val="50.0" /> </parameter>
</component-link>
<component-link id="14" >
<parameter name="test2"> <value val="50.0" /> </parameter>
</component-link>
</parameter-file>
