MatrixWorkspace

Mandatory

The name of the workspace to load the instrument parameters into.

Filename

Input

string

The filename (including its full or relative path) of a parameter definition file. The file extension must either be .xml or .XML. Allowed extensions: [‘.xml’]

ParameterXML

Input

string

The parameter definition XML as a string.

Description

This algorithm allows instrument parameters to be specified in a separate file from the IDF. The required format for this file is identical to that used for defining parameters through <component-link> tags in an IDF. Below is an example of how to define a parameter named ‘test’ to be associated with a component named ‘bank_90degnew’ defined in the IDF of the HRPD instrument:

Components may also be identified by the id of a detector. The example below also demonstrates how to define a parameter named ‘test2’ for a component whose detector has an id of ‘14’.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<parameter-file instrument="HRPD" valid-from="YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS">

<component-link name="bank_90degnew" >
  <parameter name="test"> <value val="50.0" /> </parameter>
</component-link>

<component-link id="14" >
  <parameter name="test2"> <value val="50.0" /> </parameter>
</component-link>

</parameter-file>
