Load data from the Pelican beamline at ANSTO using the AESS framework. The workspace generated is a TOF EventWorkspace.

Note

To run these usage examples please first download the usage data, and add these to your path. In Mantid this is done using Manage User Directories.

Example - Load a Pelican AESS dataset:

ws =  LoadPLNnxs('PLN0136193.nxs')

print("Number of spectra: {}".format(ws.getNumberHistograms()))

Output:

Number of spectra: 12808
