Description

This algorithm is to examine peak profile values for powder diffractometry by LeBailFit.

It is a workflow algorithm including loading files (including data file, profile parameter file and reflections list file), processing background and calculating peaks by Le Bail algorithm.

Usage

Example - Calculate peaks from input table workspaces

# Generate inputs
LoadAscii(Filename='PG3_15035-3.dat', OutputWorkspace='PG3_15035-3', Unit='TOF')

ProcessBackground(InputWorkspace='PG3_15035-3',
      OutputWorkspace='PG3_15035-3_BkgdPts',
      Options='SelectBackgroundPoints',
      LowerBound=9726,
      UpperBound=79000,
      SelectionMode='FitGivenDataPoints',
      BackgroundPoints='10082,10591,11154,12615,13690,13715,15073,16893,17764,19628,21318,24192,35350, 44212,50900,60000,69900,79000',
      UserBackgroundWorkspace='Bank3Background',
      OutputBackgroundParameterWorkspace='Bank3BackgroundParamsTable')

CreateLeBailFitInput(FullprofParameterFile='2013A_HR60b3.irf',
      ReflectionsFile='LB4854b3.hkl',
      Bank=3, LatticeConstant=4.156890,
      InstrumentParameterWorkspace='PG3_Bank3_ParTable',
      BraggPeakParameterWorkspace='LaB6_HKL_Table')

# Examine profile quality
ExaminePowderDiffProfile(InputWorkspace='PG3_15035-3', StartX=20000, EndX=100000,
      ProfileWorkspace='PG3_Bank3_ParTable', BraggPeakWorkspace='LaB6_HKL_Table',
      BackgroundParameterWorkspace='Bank3BackgroundParamsTable', OutputWorkspace='PG3_15035B3_Cal')

# Output result
ws = mtd['PG3_15035B3_Cal']
print('Output workspace has %d spectra' % (ws.getNumberHistograms()))

Output:

GeneraateHKL? =  False
Output workspace has 9 spectra
