Summary

Loads data from a reflectometry table file and stores it in a table workspace (TableWorkspace class).

Properties

Name Direction Type Default Description
Filename Input string Mandatory The name of the table file to read, including its full or relative path. The file extension must be .tbl. Allowed extensions: [‘.tbl’]
OutputWorkspace Output TableWorkspace Mandatory The name of the workspace that will be created.

Description

LoadTBl is loads ascii files in TBL format into a tableworkspace. The Format for TBL files is as follows:

First line : Comma-separated Column headings Subsequent lines : The data you wish to be displayed in those columns.

Example

An example of a valid TBL format would be as follows:

Run,Angle,Qmin,Qmax,Energy,Group, Options
14455,1.5,0.333,1.44,1.4,1,
14456,1.5,1.4,3.522,1.6,1,ProcessingInstructions="1:2"
14457,1.5,0.83,2.44,1.2,2,

This file would produce the following TableWorkspace:

Run Angle QMin QMax Energy Group Options
14455 1.5 0.333 1.44 1.4 1  
14456 1.5 0.14 3.522 1.6 1 ProcessingInstructions=”1:2”
14457 1.5 0.83 2.44 1.2 2  

The first line of the TBL file will define your column headings. As you can see in the table above the number of commas on each subsequent line must be equal to the number of column headings minus one. If you wish for a cell in the table to be blank you must still provide the surrounding commas in place of data.
