Properties

Name

Type

Default

Description

Workspace1

Input

Workspace

Mandatory

The name of the first input workspace.

Workspace2

Input

Workspace

Mandatory

The name of the second input workspace.

Tolerance

Input

number

0

The maximum amount by which values may differ between the workspaces.

CheckType

Input

boolean

True

Whether to check that the data types (Workspace2D vs EventWorkspace) match.

CheckAxes

Input

boolean

True

Whether to check that the axes match.

CheckSpectraMap

Input

boolean

True

Whether to check that the spectra-detector maps match.

CheckInstrument

Input

boolean

True

Whether to check that the instruments match.

CheckMasking

Input

boolean

True

Whether to check that the bin masking matches.

CheckSample

Input

boolean

False

Whether to check that the sample (e.g. logs).

Result

Output

string

ToleranceRelErr

Input

boolean

False

Treat tolerance as relative error rather then the absolute error. This is only applicable to Matrix workspaces.

CheckAllData

Input

boolean

False

Usually checking data ends when first mismatch occurs. This forces algorithm to check all data and print mismatch to the debug log. Very often such logs are huge so making it true should be the last option.

NumberMismatchedSpectraToPrint

Input

number

1

Number of mismatched spectra from lowest to be listed.

DetailedPrintIndex

Input

number

Optional

Mismatched spectra that will be printed out in details.

Description

This algorithm is deprecated. Please use CompareWorkspaces instead.

Compares two workspaces for equality. This algorithm is mainly intended for use by Mantid developers as part of the testing process.

The data values (X,Y and error) are always checked. The algorithm can also optionally check the axes (this includes the units), the spectra-detector map, the instrument (the name and parameter map) and any bin masking.

In the case of EventWorkspaces, they are checked to hold identical event lists. Comparisons between an EventList and a Workspace2D always fail.

Usage

Example - check that two workspaces are equal to one another:

dataX = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
dataY = [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1]
ws1 = CreateWorkspace(dataX, dataY)

#create a copy of the workspace
ws2 = CloneWorkspace(ws1)

print(CheckWorkspacesMatch(ws1, ws2))

Output:

Success!

Example - check that two workspaces match within a certain tolerance:

import numpy as np

#create a workspace with some simple data
dataX = range(0,20)
dataY1 = np.sin(dataX)
ws1 = CreateWorkspace(dataX, dataY1)

#create a similar workspace, but with added noise
dataY2 = np.sin(dataX) + 0.1*np.random.random_sample(len(dataX))
ws2 = CreateWorkspace(dataX, dataY2)

print(CheckWorkspacesMatch(ws1, ws2)) #fails, they're not the same
print(CheckWorkspacesMatch(ws1, ws2, Tolerance=0.1)) #passes, they're close enough

Output:

Data mismatch
Success!
