Summary

Load WAND single crystal data into a detector space vs rotation MDHisto

Properties

Name Direction Type Default Description
Filename Input list of str lists   Files to load. Allowed extensions: [‘.nxs.h5’]
IPTS Input number Optional IPTS number to load from
RunNumbers Input int list   Run numbers to load
Grouping Input string None Group pixels. Allowed values: [‘None’, ‘2x2’, ‘4x4’]
OutputWorkspace Output Workspace Mandatory Output Workspace

Description

This algorithm will load a series of run into a MDHistoWorkspace that has dimensions x and y detector pixels vs scanIndex. The scanIndex is the omega rotation of the sample. The instrument from the first run only will be copied to the OutputWorkspace. In addition the s1 (omega rotation), duration, run_number and monitor count is read from every file and included in the logs of the OutputWorkspace.

If the “HB2C:CS:CrystalAlign:UBMatrix” property exist it will be converted into the OrientedLattice on the OutputWorkspace. The goniometer tilts (sgu and sgl) are combined into the UB Matrix so that only omega (s1) needs to be taken into account during rotation.

This algorithm doesn’t use Mantid loaders but instead h5py and numpy to load and integrate the events.

There is a grouping option to group pixels by either 2x2 or 4x4 which will help in reducing memory usage and speed up the later reduction steps. In most cases you will not see a difference in reduced data with 4x4 pixel grouping.

The loaded workspace is designed to be the input to ConvertWANDSCDtoQ v1.

Usage

Load one file, Vanadium for normalisation

norm = LoadWANDSCD(IPTS=7776, RunNumbers=26509)
print(repr(norm))

Output:

Load multiple data file

data = LoadWANDSCD(IPTS=7776, RunNumbers='26640-27944')
print("Memory used: {}GiB".format(data.getMemorySize()/2**30))
print(repr(data))

Load with different grouping comparing memory usage

data = LoadWANDSCD(IPTS=7776, RunNumbers='26640-27944')
data_2x2 = LoadWANDSCD(IPTS=7776, RunNumbers='26640-27944', Grouping='2x2')

print("Memory used by {}: {}GiB".format(data,data.getMemorySize()/2**30))
print("Memory used by {}: {}GiB".format(data_2x2,data_2x2.getMemorySize()/2**30))
print("Memory used by {}: {}GiB".format(data_4x4,data_4x4.getMemorySize()/2**30))
print(repr(data_4x4))

# Integrate y and plot
data_integrated = IntegrateMDHistoWorkspace('data_4x4', P1Bin='0,129')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mantid import plots
fig, ax = plt.subplots(subplot_kw={'projection':'mantid'})
c = ax.pcolormesh(data_integrated, vmax=100)
cbar=fig.colorbar(c)
cbar.set_label('Intensity (arb. units)')
