Reflectometry Changes#

New Features#

  • Filtering has been added to the Plotting tab of the ISIS Reflectometry interface to aid comprehension of the workspace tree.

  • ReflectometryISISLoadAndProcess now accepts ActualSpecularPixelSpectrumNo for POLREF calibration to replace specular-peak fitting. A different nominal pixel enables angle correction from the calibration map; an equal or omitted nominal pixel disables angle correction.

  • The ISIS Reflectometry Runs table now has a read-only Adjusted Angle column for POLREF. It displays the input workspace’s reflectometry_adjusted_theta sample log and refreshes after reduction. The column remains blank if the adjusted angle is not available.

  • The ISIS Reflectometry Interface is now able to slice input workspaces that are Workspace Groups.

  • The option to share either x or y axis when tiling plots has been added to the ISIS Reflectometry plotting tab.

  • The Runs table of the ISIS Reflectometry Interface now has two additional columns for POLREF reductions: Actual Specular Pixel No. and Nominal Specular Pixel No.. These can be used to override the fitting of the specular peak that occurs during angle correction.

  • ReflectometrySliceEventWorkspace v2 now preserves the reflectometry_adjusted_theta sample log in TOF slices created after angle correction.

Bugfixes#

  • Editing a cell in the search results table on the Runs tab of the ISIS Reflectometry interface no longer clears the text that was already in the cell.

  • In ReflectometryReductionOne v3 and ReflectometrySumInQ v1 bugs have been fixed that reduced the impact of background subtraction whilst summing in Q and incorrectly accumulated errors when projecting to virtual Q bins.

  • The plotting tab of the ISIS Reflectometry Interface now uses signed two-theta values for detector-angle alignment plots, preserving which side of the beam centre a detector occupies. Plot axes also display clearer labels and units for reflectivity curves, detector maps, spin-asymmetry plots, and alignment plots.
