MonitorLiveData dialog.

Summary

Call LoadLiveData at a given update frequency. Do not call this algorithm directly; instead call StartLiveData.

Properties

Name Direction Type Default Description
UpdateEvery Input number 60 Frequency of updates, in seconds. Default 60.
Instrument Input string Mandatory Name of the instrument to monitor. Allowed values: [‘ALF’, ‘ARGUS’, ‘CHRONUS’, ‘CRISP’, ‘EMU’, ‘ENGIN-X’, ‘ENGIN-X_EVENT’, ‘GEM’, ‘HET’, ‘HIFI’, ‘HRPD’, ‘IMAT’, ‘INES’, ‘INTER’, ‘IRIS’, ‘LARMOR’, ‘LET’, ‘LET_EVENT’, ‘LOQ’, ‘MAPS’, ‘MARI’, ‘MERLIN’, ‘MERLIN_EVENT’, ‘MUSR’, ‘NGEM’, ‘NIMROD’, ‘OFFSPEC’, ‘OFFSPEC_EVENT’, ‘OSIRIS’, ‘PEARL’, ‘POLARIS’, ‘POLREF’, ‘SANDALS’, ‘SANS2D’, ‘SANS2D_EVENT’, ‘SURF’, ‘SXD’, ‘TOSCA’, ‘VESUVIO’, ‘WISH’, ‘ZOOM’]
Connection Input string   Selects the listener connection entry to use. Default connection will be used if not specified
Listener Input string   Name of the listener class to use. If specified, overrides class specified by Connection. Allowed values: [‘FakeEventDataListener’, ‘FileEventDataListener’, ‘ISISHistoDataListener’, ‘ISISLiveEventDataListener’, ‘KafkaEventListener’, ‘KafkaHistoListener’, ‘SINQHMListener’, ‘SNSLiveEventDataListener’, ‘’]
Address Input string   Address for the listener to connect to. If specified, overrides address specified by Connection.
StartTime Input string   Absolute start time, if you selected FromTime. Specify the date/time in UTC time, in ISO8601 format, e.g. 2010-09-14T04:20:12.95
ProcessingAlgorithm Input string   Name of the algorithm that will be run to process each chunk of data. Optional. If blank, no processing will occur.
ProcessingProperties Input string   The properties to pass to the ProcessingAlgorithm, as a single string. The format is propName=value;propName=value
ProcessingScript Input string   A Python script that will be run to process each chunk of data. Only for command line usage, does not appear on the user interface.
ProcessingScriptFilename Input string   A Python script that will be run to process each chunk of data. Only for command line usage, does not appear on the user interface. Allowed values: [‘py’]
AccumulationMethod Input string Add Method to use for accumulating each chunk of live data. - Add: the processed chunk will be summed to the previous outpu (default). - Replace: the processed chunk will replace the previous output. - Append: the spectra of the chunk will be appended to the output workspace, increasing its size. Allowed values: [‘Add’, ‘Replace’, ‘Append’]
PreserveEvents Input boolean False Preserve events after performing the Processing step. Default False. This only applies if the ProcessingAlgorithm produces an EventWorkspace. It is strongly recommended to keep this unchecked, because preserving events may cause significant slowdowns when the run becomes large!
PostProcessingAlgorithm Input string   Name of the algorithm that will be run to process the accumulated data. Optional. If blank, no post-processing will occur.
PostProcessingProperties Input string   The properties to pass to the PostProcessingAlgorithm, as a single string. The format is propName=value;propName=value
PostProcessingScript Input string   A Python script that will be run to process the accumulated data.
PostProcessingScriptFilename Input string   Python script that will be run to process the accumulated data. Allowed values: [‘py’]
RunTransitionBehavior Input string Restart What to do at run start/end boundaries? - Restart: the previously accumulated data is discarded. - Stop: live data monitoring ends. - Rename: the previous workspaces are renamed, and monitoring continues with cleared ones. Allowed values: [‘Restart’, ‘Stop’, ‘Rename’]
AccumulationWorkspace Output Workspace   Optional, unless performing PostProcessing: Give the name of the intermediate, accumulation workspace. This is the workspace after accumulation but before post-processing steps.
OutputWorkspace Output Workspace Mandatory Name of the processed output workspace.
LastTimeStamp Output string   The time stamp of the last event, frame or pulse recorded. Date/time is in UTC time, in ISO8601 format, e.g. 2010-09-14T04:20:12.95

Description

The MonitorLiveData algorithm is started in the background by StartLiveData v1 and repeatedly calls LoadLiveData v1. It should not be necessary to call MonitorLiveData directly.

This algorithm simply calls LoadLiveData v1 at the given UpdateFrequency. For more details, see StartLiveData v1.

For details on the way to specify the data processing steps, see: LoadLiveData.

Usage

LoadLiveData is not intended for usage directly, it is part of he process that is started using StartLiveData v1.
