The raw file containing the sample geometry information. Allowed values: [‘raw’, ‘.s*’]

Description

The SPB struct within an ISIS raw file defines 4 fields that describe the basic geometry of the sample:

  • e_geom;

  • e_thick;

  • e_height;

  • e_width.

The meaning of the last three are dependent on the flag value e_geom, which defines the sample shape as one of 4 basic shapes:

  • 1 = cylinder: radius = e_thick = e_width, height = e_height;

  • 2 = flat plate: as named;

  • 3 = disc: radius = e_width, thickness = e_thick;

  • 4 = single crystal.

The values are stored on the sample object within the workspace.

Usage

Example:

filename = "HRP39180.RAW"
ws = Load(filename)
LoadSampleDetailsFromRaw(ws,filename)

s = ws.sample()
print("Geometry flag {:.0f}".format(s.getGeometryFlag()))
print("Dimensions H,W,D {:.0f},{:.0f},{:.0f}".format(s.getHeight(),s.getWidth(),s.getThickness()))

Output:

Geometry flag 2
Dimensions H,W,D 20,15,11
