Default

Description

Run

Input

list of str lists

Mandatory

Run number(s) of sample run(s). Allowed values: [‘nxs’]

BackgroundRun

Input

list of str lists

Run number(s) of background (empty can) run(s). Allowed values: [‘nxs’]

CalibrationRun

Input

list of str lists

Run number(s) of vanadium calibration run(s). Allowed values: [‘nxs’]

CalibrationBackgroundRun

Input

list of str lists

Run number(s) of background (empty can) run(s) for vanadium run. Allowed values: [‘nxs’]

Observable

Input

string

sample.temperature

Scanning observable, a Sample Log entry

SortXAxis

Input

boolean

False

Whether or not to sort the x-axis

BackgroundScalingFactor

Input

number

1

Scaling factor for background subtraction

CalibrationBackgroundScalingFactor

Input

number

1

Scaling factor for background subtraction for vanadium calibration

BackgroundOption

Input

string

Sum

Whether to sum or interpolate the background runs. Allowed values: [‘Sum’, ‘Interpolate’]

CalibrationOption

Input

string

Sum

Whether to sum or interpolate the calibration runs. Allowed values: [‘Sum’, ‘Interpolate’]

CalibrationBackgroundOption

Input

string

Sum

Whether to sum or interpolate the background run for calibration runs. Allowed values: [‘Sum’, ‘Interpolate’]

MapFile

Input

string

Filename of the detector grouping map file to use. By default all the pixels will be summed per each tube. Use .map or .xml file (see GroupDetectors documentation) only if different range is needed for each tube. Allowed values: [‘map’, ‘xml’]

ManualPSDIntegrationRange

Input

long list

1,128

Integration range of vertical pixels in each PSD tube. By default all the pixels will be summed per each tube. Use this option if the same range (other than default) is needed for all the tubes.

Analyser

Input

string

silicon

Analyser crystal. Allowed values: [‘silicon’]

Reflection

Input

string

111

Analyser reflection. Allowed values: [‘111’, ‘311’]

OutputWorkspace

Output

WorkspaceGroup

Mandatory

Output workspace group

SpectrumAxis

Input

string

SpectrumNumber

The spectrum axis conversion target. Allowed values: [‘SpectrumNumber’, ‘2Theta’, ‘Q’, ‘Q2’]

DiscardSingleDetectors

Input

boolean

False

Whether to discard the spectra of single detectors.

ManualInelasticPeakChannels

Input

long list

-1,-1

The channel indices for the inelastic peak positions in the beginning and in the end of the spectra; by default the maxima of the monitor spectrum will be used for this. The intensities will be integrated symmetrically around each peak.

GroupDetectors

Input

boolean

True

Group the pixels using the range, tube-by-tube (default) or in a custom way; it is not recommended to group the detectors at this stage, in order to get absorption corrections right, however the default value is True for backwards compatibility.

Description

This algorithm performs Fixed Window Scan (FWS) data reduction (both Elastic and Inelastic) for IN16B indirect geometry instrument at ILL. It uses internally the IndirectILLEnergyTransfer algorithm.

Input

Multiple files following the syntax given in MultipleFileProperty.

Output

A WorkspaceGroup that contains as many workspaces as many distinct Doppler’s energy values were present in input files list (including E=0 for EFWS). Each Workspace in the group will have the given observable as the x-axis and as many bins, as many files were given corresponding to the same energy. Y-axis will be detector angle, and the values would be the intensities integrated over the whole spectra (for EFWS) or over the two peaks (symmetric around each peak) at the beginning and the end of the spectra (for IFWS). Scanning observable can be any numeric or time-stamp-like string parameter. See sample.* or e.g. start_time in Sample Logs. BackgroundRun s, CalibrationBackgroundRun s and CalibrationRun s will be averaged (default) or interpolated over all the observable points according to the option. Interpolation is provided by SplineInterpolation, which does cubic spline (or linear for 2 points only) interpolation inside the range and flat extrapolation beyond the range. For the moment it does not give errors on interpolated results. Interpolated subtraction or calibration is recommended only if there is a strong dependence on the observable and many measured points in the data to be interpolated.

Usage

Example: EFWS+IFWS

ws = IndirectILLReductionFWS(Run='ILL/IN16B/083072:083077.nxs')
print("Result is now a WorkspaceGroup, which has {:d} workspaces, one per each energy value".format( ws.getNumberOfEntries()))
print("first item, called {} corresponds to energy value of {}".format(
ws.getItem(0).name(),ws.getItem(0).name().split('_')[1]))
print("it has {:d} histograms and {:d} bins, one per each temperature".format(
ws.getItem(0).getNumberHistograms(),ws.getItem(0).blocksize()))

Output:

Result is now a WorkspaceGroup, which has 3 workspaces, one per each energy value
first item, called ws_0.0_red corresponds to energy value of 0.0
it has 18 histograms and 2 bins, one per each temperature
