Properties

Name

Direction

Type

Default

Description

Filename

Input

string

Mandatory

Name of the RKH file to load. Allowed extensions: [‘.txt’, ‘.q’, ‘.dat’]

OutputWorkspace

Output

MatrixWorkspace

Mandatory

The name to use for the output workspace

FirstColumnValue

Input

string

Wavelength

Only used for 1D files, the units of the first column in the RKH file (default Wavelength). Allowed values: [‘AtomicDistance’, ‘Degrees’, ‘DeltaE’, ‘DeltaE_inFrequency’, ‘DeltaE_inWavenumber’, ‘dSpacing’, ‘dSpacingPerpendicular’, ‘Empty’, ‘Energy’, ‘Energy_inWavenumber’, ‘Label’, ‘Momentum’, ‘MomentumTransfer’, ‘Phi’, ‘QSquared’, ‘SpinEchoLength’, ‘SpinEchoTime’, ‘Temperature’, ‘Time’, ‘TOF’, ‘Wavelength’, ‘SpectrumNumber’]

Description

Loads the given file in the RKH text format, which can be a file with three columns of numbers. If the FirstColumnValue is a recognised Mantid unit the workspace is created with just one spectrum. Alteratively if FirstColumnValue is set to ‘SpectrumNumber’ then the workspace can have many spectra with the spectrum Numbers equal to the first column in the file.

Usage

Example - Save/Load “Roundtrip”

import os
import numpy

# Create dummy workspace.
dataX = [1,2,3,4,5]
dataY = [8,4,9,7]
dataE = [2,1,1,3]
out_ws = CreateWorkspace(dataX, dataY, dataE, UnitX="MomentumTransfer")

file_path = os.path.join(config["defaultsave.directory"], "example.out")

# Do a "roundtrip" of the data.
SaveRKH(out_ws, file_path)
in_ws = LoadRKH(file_path)

print("Contents of the file  = {}".format(in_ws.readY(0)))

Output:

Contents of the file  = [ 8.  4.  9.  7.]
