AverageLogData v1

AverageLogData dialog.

Summary

Computes the proton charge averaged value of a given log.

Properties

Name	Direction	Type	Default	Description
InputWorkspace	Input	MatrixWorkspace	Mandatory	An input workspace that contains a Sample log property, and a proton charge property.
LogName	Input	string		Name of the log to be averaged
FixZero	Input	boolean	True	If true, the proton charge and the log value time series are assumed to start at the same moment.
Average	Output	number
Error	Output	number

Description

The algorithm will calculate a proton_charge weighted average and standard deviation of any log value of numeric series type. All proton charges earlier than the first data are ignored. Any proton pulse is counted for the log value on the right. This means that if all proton pulses happen before the first value, and FixZero is false, the average and standard deviations are NANs. If all the proton pulses occur after the last value, and FixZero is false, the average is equal to the last value, and the standard deviation is zero.

Usage

Note

To run these usage examples please first download the usage data, and add these to your path. In Mantid this is done using Manage User Directories.

#load a workspace with logs
ws=Load("CNCS_7860")

#apply algorithm
value,error=AverageLogData(ws,LogName="ChopperStatus5")

#print the values
print("ChopperStatus5 : %1.3f +/- %1.3f"%(value,error))

Output:

ChopperStatus5 : 3.942 +/- 0.309
