Properties

Name	Direction	Type	Default	Description
InputWorkspace	Input	MatrixWorkspace	Mandatory	The name of the workspace to save
Filename	Input	string	Mandatory	The name to use when saving the file. Allowed extensions: [‘.txt’, ‘.q’, ‘.dat’]
Append	Input	boolean	True	If true and Filename already exists, append, else overwrite

Description

Saves the the given workspace to a file which will be formatted in one of the LOQ data formats. 1D or 2D workspaces may be saved. If a 1D workspace is ‘horizontal’ (a single spectrum) then the first column in the three column output will contain the X values of the spectrum (giving the bin centre if histogram data). For a ‘vertical’ (single column) 1D workspace, the first column of the file will contain the spectrum number.

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  = " + str(in_ws.readY(0)))

Output:

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