Description

This is the top-level workflow algorithm for direct geometry spectrometer data reduction. This algorithm is responsible for gathering the necessary parameters and generating calls to other workflow or standard algorithms.

Workflow

Parameters for the child algorithms are not shown due to the sheer number. They will be detailed in the child algorithm diagrams. Items in parallelograms are output workspaces from their respective algorithms. Not all output workspaces are subsequently used by other algorithms.

Usage

Example - Simplest SNS Script

config['default.facility'] = "SNS"
# SNS reduction does not require IncidentEnergyGuess since the NeXus
# files contain an EnergyRequest log.
ws = DgsReduction(SampleInputFile="CNCS_7860_event.nxs")
# More than one output from DgsReduction
# (E vs Phi Workspace, Name of Property Manager)
w = ws[0]
# Check the conversion
xaxis = w.getAxis(0).getUnit()
print("X axis = {} / {}".format(xaxis.caption(), xaxis.symbol()))
print("Energy mode = {}".format(w.getEMode()))
print("Workspace type = {}".format(w.id()))

Output:

X axis = Energy transfer / meV
Energy mode = Direct
Workspace type = Workspace2D

Example - Simplest ISIS Script

config['default.facility'] = "ISIS"
# ISIS reduction required IncidentEnergyGuess since RAW files don't
# have a corresponding log.
ws = DgsReduction(SampleInputFile="MAR11001.raw",
                  IncidentEnergyGuess=12)
# More than one output from DgsRedution
# (E vs Phi Workspace, Name of Property Manager)
w = ws[0]
# Check the conversion
xaxis = w.getAxis(0).getUnit()
print("X axis = {} / {}".format(xaxis.caption(), xaxis.symbol()))
print("Energy mode = {}".format(w.getEMode()))
print("Workspace type = {}".format(w.id()))

Output:

X axis = Energy transfer / meV
Energy mode = Direct
Workspace type = Workspace2D

Example - Get as Eventworkspace for SNS

The following shows that event data can be the result of the redcuction instead of histogram data.

config['default.facility'] = "SNS"
ws = DgsReduction(SampleInputFile="CNCS_7860_event.nxs",
                  IncidentBeamNormalisation="ByCurrent",
                  SofPhiEIsDistribution=False)
w = ws[0]
print("Workspace type = {}".format(w.id()))
print("Number of events = {}".format(w.getNumberEvents()))

Output:

Workspace type = EventWorkspace
Number of events = 78037

Example - Correct Data Before Reduction for SNS

The following is a contrived example to show that the data can be loaded and corrected and/or filtered before passing it to the algorithm. The key here is that the *InputWorkspace properties must be used. It also shows a couple of more properties being used.

config['default.facility'] = "SNS"
ws = Load("CNCS_7860_event.nxs", LoadMonitors=True)
monitor = ws[1]
valC3 = ws[0].getRun()['Phase3'].getStatistics().median
ws = FilterByLogValue(ws[0], LogName="Phase3", MinimumValue=valC3-0.3,
                      MaximumValue=valC3+0.3)
# Although CNCS doesn't use its monitors, this is how instruments that do need
# to call the algorithm.
ws = DgsReduction(SampleInputWorkspace=ws, SampleInputMonitorWorkspace=monitor,
                  IncidentBeamNormalisation="ByCurrent", SofPhiEIsDistribution=False)
w = ws[0]
print("Workspace type = {}".format(w.id()))
print("Number of events = {}".format(w.getNumberEvents()))

Output:

Workspace type = EventWorkspace
Number of events = 2178
