Summary

Define the goniometer motors used in an experiment by giving the axes and directions of rotations.

Properties

Name Direction Type Default Description
Workspace InOut MatrixWorkspace Mandatory An workspace that will be modified with the new goniometer created.
Goniometers Input string None, Specify Individually Set the axes and motor names according to goniometers that we define in the code (Universal defined for SNS). Allowed values: [‘None, Specify Individually’, ‘Universal’]
Axis0 Input string   Axis0: name, x,y,z, 1/-1 (1 for ccw, -1 for cw rotation). A number of degrees can be used instead of name. Leave blank for no axis
Axis1 Input string   Axis1: name, x,y,z, 1/-1 (1 for ccw, -1 for cw rotation). A number of degrees can be used instead of name. Leave blank for no axis
Axis2 Input string   Axis2: name, x,y,z, 1/-1 (1 for ccw, -1 for cw rotation). A number of degrees can be used instead of name. Leave blank for no axis
Axis3 Input string   Axis3: name, x,y,z, 1/-1 (1 for ccw, -1 for cw rotation). A number of degrees can be used instead of name. Leave blank for no axis
Axis4 Input string   Axis4: name, x,y,z, 1/-1 (1 for ccw, -1 for cw rotation). A number of degrees can be used instead of name. Leave blank for no axis
Axis5 Input string   Axis5: name, x,y,z, 1/-1 (1 for ccw, -1 for cw rotation). A number of degrees can be used instead of name. Leave blank for no axis

Description

Use this algorithm to define your goniometer. Enter each axis in the order of rotation, starting with the one farthest from the sample.

You may enter up to 6 axes, for which you must define (separated by commas):

  • The name of the axis, which MUST match the name in your sample logs. You can specify a number, and a log value will be created (GoniometerAxis?_FixedValue, where ? is the axis number)
  • The X, Y, Z components of the vector of the axis of rotation. Right-handed coordinates with +Z=beam direction; +Y=Vertically up (against gravity); +X to the left.
  • The sense of rotation as 1 or -1: 1 for counter-clockwise, -1 for clockwise rotation.

The run’s sample logs will be used in order to determine the actual angles of rotation: for example, if you have an axis called ‘phi’, then the first value of the log called ‘phi’ will be used as the rotation angle. Units are assumed to be degrees.

The “Universal” goniometer at SNS is equivalent to Axis0 tied to the “omega” log pointing vertically upward, Axis1 tied to “chi” log, pointing along the beam, and Axis2 tied to “phi”, pointing vertically upward.

SetGoniometer(w,”Universal”) is the same as SetGoniometer(w,Axis0=”omega,0,1,0,1”,Axis1=”chi,0,0,1,1”,Axis2=”phi,0,1,0,1”)

Usage

wg=CreateSingleValuedWorkspace()
AddSampleLog(wg,"Motor1","45.","Number")
SetGoniometer(wg,Axis0="Motor1,0,1,0,1",Axis1="5,0,1,0,1")

print "Log values:",wg.getRun().keys()
print "Goniometer angles: ",wg.getRun().getGoniometer().getEulerAngles('YZY')
print "Clearing goniometer up"
SetGoniometer(wg)
print "Goniometer angles: ",wg.getRun().getGoniometer().getEulerAngles('YZY')

Output:

Log values: ['Motor1', 'GoniometerAxis1_FixedValue']
Goniometer angles:  [50,0,0]
Clearing goniometer up
Goniometer angles:  [0,0,0]
