CreateChunkingFromInstrument v1

CreateChunkingFromInstrument dialog.

Summary

Creates chunking at a level of the instrument or instrument components.

Properties

Name	Direction	Type	Default	Description
Filename	Input	string		The name of the event nexus file to read, including its full or relative path. Allowed extensions: [‘_event.nxs’, ‘.nxs.h5’, ‘.nxs’]
InputWorkspace	Input	MatrixWorkspace		Optional: An input workspace with the instrument we want to use.
InstrumentName	Input	string		Optional: Name of the instrument to base the ChunkingWorkpace on which to base the GroupingWorkspace.
InstrumentFilename	Input	string		Optional: Path to the instrument definition file on which to base the ChunkingWorkpace. Allowed extensions: [‘.xml’]
ChunkNames	Input	string		Optional: A string of the instrument component names to use as separate groups. Use / or , to separate multiple groups. If empty, then an empty GroupingWorkspace will be created.
ChunkBy	Input	string		Only used if GroupNames is empty: All detectors as one group, Groups (East,West for SNAP), Columns for SNAP, detector banks. Allowed values: [‘’, ‘All’, ‘Group’, ‘Column’, ‘bank’]
MaxRecursionDepth	Input	number	5	Number of levels to search into the instrument (default=5)
MaxBankNumber	Input	number	300	Maximum bank number to search for in the instrument
OutputWorkspace	Output	TableWorkspace	Mandatory	An output workspace describing the cunking.

Description

Workflow algorithm to determine chunking strategy for event nexus file. This will break up the instrument into logical components according to the instrument hierarchy.

This algorithm does assume that there are components in the geometry named “bank#” and returns a table workspace of those names. Trying this on an instrument without components named that will generate an exception. Also, requesting “ChunkBy=All” will return an empty table workspace.

Usage

Example: Powgen

pg3 = LoadEmptyInstrument(Filename="POWGEN_Definition_2015-08-01.xml")
ws = CreateChunkingFromInstrument(InputWorkspace=pg3, ChunkBy="Group")
print("Created {} Chunks".format(ws.rowCount()))

Output:

Created 4 Chunks

Example: Snap

ws = CreateChunkingFromInstrument(InstrumentName="snap", ChunkNames="East,West", MaxBankNumber=64)
print("Created {} Chunks".format(ws.rowCount()))

Output:

Created 2 Chunks
