Description

This algorithm performs powder diffraction data reduction for WAND² with calibration, monitor normalization and background subtraction. The CalibrationWorkspace will most likely be a vanadium and will correct for the detector sensitivity. The data can be normalized by monitor count or time. The output workspace can be saved to various formats with SaveFocusedXYE.

It is recommenced to load WAND data with LoadWAND. This algorithm will work on data loaded with LoadEventNexus or the grouped output from FilterEvents.

MaskAngle

The MaskAngle option will mask any out-of-plane (phi angle) detector larger than this value using MaskAngle. This can help with peak sharpness by removing regions where there is large peak broadening due to the divergent beam. The example below using MaskAngle of 10.
