MonitorWorkspace InOut Workspace Mandatory Monitor workspace
IncidentEnergyGuess Input number -1 Incident energy guess
Ei Output number    
T0 Output number    

Description

Get Ei and T0 on ARCS and SEQUOIA instruments. It accounts for the following:

  • in the ADARA framework, the monitors are in the first frame.
  • SEQUOIA has event based monitors.
  • some data aquisition errors will create unphysical monitor IDs. This will be ignored
  • when vChTrans is 2, on ARCS and SEQUOIA there is no chopper in the beam (white beam). Will return not a number for both Ei and T0

The algorithm is doing the following:

  • Check which spectra corresponds to a physical monitor (as per instrument definition file)
  • Change the time of flight in the monitor spectra to the correct frame
  • Rebins the monitor workspace with a step of 1 microsecond
  • Uses GetEi to calculate incident energy and T0

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.

w=Load('ADARAMonitors.nxs')
LoadInstrument(Workspace=w,InstrumentName='SEQUOIA',RewriteSpectraMap=False)
AddSampleLog(Workspace=w,LogName='vChTrans',LogText='1',LogType='Number Series')
AddSampleLog(Workspace=w,LogName='EnergyRequest',LogText='20',LogType='Number Series')
res=GetEiT0atSNS(w)

print "Incident energy: %2.2f meV"%res[0]
print "T0: %2.2f microseconds"%res[1]

Output:

Incident energy: 20.09 meV
T0: 30.42 microseconds
