Description

This algorithm gathers the information needed to launch the LR reduction. It is called by the post-processing system after a new data file is created.

If a reduction template file is provided, the reduction will use the options in that file. If no reduction template is provided, reduction parameters will be read from the Nexus file.

For sample data runs, the LiquidsReflectometryReduction algorithm is called to perform the reduction, followed by the LRReflectivityOutput algorithm to put the different pieces of the reduced data into a single reflectivity file.

For direct beams, the LRDirectBeamSort workflow algorithm is called to generate a scaling factor file.
