Summary

Merge runs and the sample logs.

Properties

Name Direction Type Default Description
InputWorkspaces Input str list Mandatory Comma separated list of workspaces or groups of workspaces.
OutputWorkspace Output Workspace Mandatory Name of the workspace that will contain the merged workspaces.

Description

Merges workspaces from a given list using MergeRuns v1 algorithm. Sample logs are merged in the following way.

Type of merging   Parameter
Average   temperature
Minimum   run_start
Maximum   run_end
Summed   duration, monitor_counts
Listed   run_number

Other sample logs are copied from the first workspace.

Valid input workspaces

Algorithm accepts both, matrix workspaces and groups of matrix workspaces. Valid input workspaces

  • must have following sample logs: channel_width, chopper_ratio, chopper_speed, Ei, wavelength, full_channels, EPP, monitor_counts, duration, run_number, run_start, run_end
  • must have identical following sample logs: channel_width, chopper_ratio, chopper_speed, Ei, wavelength, full_channels, EPP. Tolerance for double comparison is 0.01.
  • must have common binning for all its spectra for each input workspace.

If these conditions are not fulfilled, algorithm terminates with an error message.

Sample log temperature is optional. If it is present in some of input workspaces, mean value will be calculated. Otherwise, no temperature sample log will be created in the output workspace.

Algorithm will produce warning if - temperature and run_title sample logs are not present or different, - some of input workspaces have zero monitor counts.

Usage

Example - Merge list of workspaces

ws1 = LoadMLZ(Filename='TOFTOFTestdata.nxs')
ws2 = LoadMLZ(Filename='TOFTOFTestdata.nxs')

# change sample logs for a second workspace, not needed for real workspaces
AddSampleLog(ws1, 'temperature', str(294.14), 'Number')
lognames = 'temperature,run_start,run_end,monitor_counts,run_number'
logvalues = '296.16,2013-07-28T11:32:19+0053,2013-07-28T12:32:19+0053,145145,TOFTOFTestdata2'
AddSampleLogMultiple(ws2, lognames, logvalues)

# Input = list of workspaces
ws3 = TOFTOFMergeRuns('ws1,ws2')

# Temperature
print "Temperature of experiment for 1st workspace (in K): ", ws1.getRun().getLogData('temperature').value
print "Temperature of experiment for 2nd workspace (in K): ", ws2.getRun().getLogData('temperature').value
print "Temperature of experiment for merged workspaces = average over workspaces (in K): ",  ws3.getRun().getLogData('temperature').value

# Duration
print "Duration of experiment for 1st workspace (in s): ",  ws1.getRun().getLogData('duration').value
print "Duration of experiment for 2nd workspace (in s): ",  ws2.getRun().getLogData('duration').value
print "Duration of experiment for merged workspaces = sum of all durations (in s): ",  ws3.getRun().getLogData('duration').value

# Run start
print "Start of experiment for 1st workspace: ",  ws1.getRun().getLogData('run_start').value
print "Start of experiment for 2nd workspace: ",  ws2.getRun().getLogData('run_start').value
print "Start of experiment for merged workspaces = miminum of all workspaces: ",  ws3.getRun().getLogData('run_start').value

# Run end
print "End of experiment for 1st workspace: ",  ws1.getRun().getLogData('run_end').value
print "End of experiment for 2nd workspace: ",  ws2.getRun().getLogData('run_end').value
print "End of experiment for merged workspaces = maximum of all workspaces: ",  ws3.getRun().getLogData('run_end').value

# Run number
print "Run number for 1st workspace: ",  ws1.getRun().getLogData('run_number').value
print "Run number for 2nd workspace: ",  ws2.getRun().getLogData('run_number').value
print "Run number for merged workspaces = list of all workspaces: ",  ws3.getRun().getLogData('run_number').value

# Monitor counts
print "Monitor counts for 1st workspace: ",  ws1.getRun().getLogData('monitor_counts').value
print "Monitor counts for 2nd workspace: ",  ws2.getRun().getLogData('monitor_counts').value
print "Monitor counts for merged workspaces = sum over all workspaces: ",  ws3.getRun().getLogData('monitor_counts').value

Output:

Temperature of experiment for 1st workspace (in K):  294.14

Example - Merge group of workspaces

ws1 = LoadMLZ(Filename='TOFTOFTestdata.nxs')
ws2 = LoadMLZ(Filename='TOFTOFTestdata.nxs')

# change sample logs for a second workspace, not needed for real workspaces
AddSampleLog(ws1, 'temperature', str(294.14), 'Number')
lognames = 'temperature,run_start,run_end,monitor_counts,run_number'

AddSampleLogMultiple(ws2, lognames, logvalues)

group=GroupWorkspaces('ws1,ws2')
groupmerged=TOFTOFMergeRuns(group)
print "Monitor counts for 1st workspace: ",  ws1.getRun().getLogData('monitor_counts').value
print "Monitor counts for 2nd workspace: ",  ws2.getRun().getLogData('monitor_counts').value
print "Monitor counts for merged workspaces = sum over all workspaces: ",  groupmerged.getRun().getLogData('monitor_counts').value
