Loads a 5-column ASCII .cal file into up to 3 workspaces: a GroupingWorkspace, OffsetsWorkspace and/or MaskWorkspace.
| Name | Direction | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| InputWorkspace | Input | MatrixWorkspace | Optional: An input workspace with the instrument we want to use. | |
| InstrumentName | Input | string | Optional: Name of the instrument to base the GroupingWorkspace on which to base the GroupingWorkspace. | |
| InstrumentFilename | Input | string | Optional: Path to the instrument definition file on which to base the GroupingWorkspace. Allowed extensions: [‘.xml’] | |
| CalFilename | Input | string | Mandatory | Path to the old-style .cal grouping/calibration file (multi-column ASCII). You must also specify the instrument. Allowed extensions: [‘.cal’] |
| MakeGroupingWorkspace | Input | boolean | True | Set to true to create a GroupingWorkspace with called WorkspaceName_group. |
| MakeOffsetsWorkspace | Input | boolean | True | Set to true to create a OffsetsWorkspace with called WorkspaceName_offsets. |
| MakeMaskWorkspace | Input | boolean | True | Set to true to create a MaskWorkspace with called WorkspaceName_mask. |
| WorkspaceName | Input | string | The base of the output workspace names. Names will have ‘_group’, ‘_cal’, ‘_offsets’, ‘_mask’ appended to them. |
This algorithm loads an ARIEL-style 5-column ASCII .cal file into up to 3 workspaces: a GroupingWorkspace, OffsetsWorkspace and/or MaskWorkspace.
The format is described here.
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.
The following provides a simple example that uses just the instrument geometry to create the necessary workspaces.
# Grouping, offsets and masking workspaces are all made by default.
# WorkspaceName parameter is required in spite of docs not saying so.
ws = LoadCalFile(InstrumentName="GEM", CalFilename="offsets_2006_cycle064.cal",
WorkspaceName="ws")
print("Total number of workspaces = {}".format(len(ws)))
print("Workspace 1 type = {}".format(ws[0].id()))
print("Workspace 2 type = {}".format(ws[1].id()))
print("Workspace 3 type = {}".format(ws[2].id()))
print("Workspace 4 type = {}".format(ws[3].id()))
Output:
Total number of workspaces = 4
Workspace 1 type = GroupingWorkspace
Workspace 2 type = OffsetsWorkspace
Workspace 3 type = MaskWorkspace
Workspace 4 type = TableWorkspace
