Properties

Name	Direction	Type	Default	Description
Workspace	InOut	MatrixWorkspace	Mandatory	In/out workspace that will store the new log information
Name	Input	string	Mandatory	A string name for either a new time series log to be created or an existing name to update
Time	Input	string	Mandatory	An ISO formatted date/time string specifying the timestamp for the given log value, e.g 2010-09-14T04:20:12
Value	Input	number	Mandatory	The value for the log at the given time
Type	Input	string	double	An optional type for the given value. A double value with a Type=int will have the fractional part chopped off. Allowed values: [‘double’, ‘int’]
DeleteExisting	Input	boolean	False	If true and the named log exists then the whole log is removed first.

Description

Creates/updates a time-series log entry on a chosen workspace. The given timestamp & value are appended to the named log entry. If the named entry does not exist then a new log is created. A time stamp must be given in ISO8601 format, e.g. 2010-09-14T04:20:12.

By default, the given value is interpreted as a double and a double series is either created or expected. However, if the “Type” is set to “int” then the value is interpreted as an integer and an integer is either created or expected.

Usage

Example

import numpy as np
ws = CreateSampleWorkspace("Event",BankPixelWidth=1)

AddTimeSeriesLog(ws, Name="my_log", Time="2010-01-01T00:00:00", Value=100)
AddTimeSeriesLog(ws, Name="my_log", Time="2010-01-01T00:30:00", Value=15)
AddTimeSeriesLog(ws, Name="my_log", Time="2010-01-01T00:50:00", Value=100.2)

log = ws.getRun().getLogData("my_log")
print("my_log has {} entries".format(log.size()))
for time, value in zip(log.times, log.value):
  ts = np.datetime_as_string(time.astype(np.dtype('M8[s]')), timezone='UTC')
  print("\t{}\t{:.6f}".format(ts, value))

AddTimeSeriesLog(ws, Name="my_log", Time="2010-01-01T00:00:00", Value=12, Type="int", DeleteExisting=True)
AddTimeSeriesLog(ws, Name="my_log", Time="2010-01-01T00:50:00", Value=34, Type="int")

log = ws.getRun().getLogData("my_log")
print("my_log now has {} entries".format(log.size()))
for time, value in zip(log.times, log.value):
  ts = np.datetime_as_string(time.astype(np.dtype('M8[s]')), timezone='UTC')
  print("\t{}\t{:.6f}".format(ts, value))

Output:

my_log has 3 entries
    2010-01-01T00:00:00Z     100.000000
    2010-01-01T00:30:00Z     15.000000
    2010-01-01T00:50:00Z     100.200000
my_log now has 2 entries
    2010-01-01T00:00:00Z     12.000000
    2010-01-01T00:50:00Z     34.000000
