| Name | Direction | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| InputWorkspace | Input | MatrixWorkspace | Mandatory | Name of the workspace to have DIFC calculated from |
| OutputWorkspace | Output | MatrixWorkspace | Mandatory | Workspace containing DIFC for each pixel |
| CalibrationWorkspace | Input | TableWorkspace | Optional: A TableWorkspace containing the DIFC values, which will be copied. This property cannot be set in conjunction with property OffsetsWorkspace. | |
| OffsetsWorkspace | Input | OffsetsWorkspace | Optional: A OffsetsWorkspace containing the calibration offsets. This property cannot be set in conjunction with property CalibrationWorkspace. |
CalculateDIFC calculates the value of \(DIFC\) for every pixel in an instrument.
This is used in the equation
This algorithm uses the same underlying calculation as ConvertUnits v1 and AlignDetectors v1.
When specifying the CalibrationWorkspace, this algorithm copies the
values in the detid and difc columns of the calibration workspace.
It ignores any other calibration constants, such as difa and
tzero (for more information, see the Diffraction Calibration Workspace concept page).
Assumptions: There are no assumptions and this algorithm works on the results of LoadEmptyInstrument v1.
Example - CalculateDIFC
ws = LoadEmptyInstrument(Filename="NOMAD_Definition.xml", OutputWorkspace="ws")
ws = CalculateDIFC(ws, OutputWorkspace="ws")
# Print the result
print("The output workspace has {} spectra".format(ws.getNumberHistograms()))
print("DIFC of pixel {} is {:.0f}".format(100, ws.readY(100)[0]))
Output:
The output workspace has 101376 spectra
DIFC of pixel 100 is 1228
Determining traditional offsets
ws = LoadEmptyInstrument(Filename="NOMAD_Definition.xml", OutputWorkspace="ws")
LoadDiffCal(InputWorkspace=ws, Filename='NOM_cal.h5', WorkspaceName='NOM')
uncalibrated = CalculateDIFC(ws, OutputWorkspace="uncalibrated")
calibrated = CalculateDIFC(ws, CalibrationWorkspace="NOM_cal", OutputWorkspace="calibrated")
offsets = calibrated/uncalibrated - 1.
