OutputWorkspace

Output

MatrixWorkspace

Mandatory

Output workspace containing the reduced data.

Description

This algorithm performs the data reduction for D20 and D1B instruments at the ILL.

Input runs

Provide the list of the input runs (e.g. one .nxs file corresponding to a single temperature point) following the syntax in MultipleFileProperty.

Summing of individual runs is possible, and if requested it will be carried out by MergeRuns, taking into account the metadata.

The list of unsummed files will be eventually combined with ConjoinXRuns.

Scanning observable

The scanning observable can be any numeric sample log entry (scalar or time series). It is possible to request ordering and/or equidistant rebinning of the observable axis for the final result.

Calibration file

This has to be a processed .nxs file containing a single-column workspace of calibration constants generated by PowderILLEfficiency, and then saved with SaveNexusProcessed.

Normalisation options

Choose one of the 4 options suggested. If region-of-interest (ROI) normalisation is requested, provide ROI as a list of ranges in scattering angle in degrees, for example 10,20,50,100 will mean [10-20] and [50-100].

Output

The output of the algorithm is a single workspace, one spectrum (diffractogram) per each observable (e.g. temperature) point. This algorithm does not save the output to a file itself. Use SaveFocusedXYE to save in FullProf format #10, or SaveGSS for GSAS format.

Usage

Example - PowderILLParameterScan

red_ws = PowderILLParameterScan(Run='967087,967088')
print("Reduced workspace has {0} diffractograms having {1} bins each".format(red_ws.getNumberHistograms(),red_ws.blocksize()))
print("The first one corresponds to T={0:.2f} K".format(red_ws.getAxis(1).extractValues()[0]))
print("The first one corresponds to T={0:.2f} K".format(red_ws.getAxis(1).extractValues()[1]))

Output:

Reduced workspace has 2 diffractograms having 3008 bins each
The first one corresponds to T=253.92 K
The first one corresponds to T=242.82 K
