SANS Changes#

New Features#

  • The legacy ISIS SANS reduction no longer supports the UNWRAP user file command, following the removal of UnwrapMonitorsInTOF. UNWRAP ON is now ignored with a warning.

  • SaveSESANS now writes the facility, instrument, run number, Mantid version and date of saving to the file header, to help identify the measurement. The facility, instrument and run number are taken from the input workspace where possible and can be set using the new Facility, Instrument and RunNumber properties.

  • Added SetSampleThickness to the ISIS SANS command interface, which allows the sample thickness (in mm) stored in a data file to be overridden from a Python reduction script.

  • Deprecated ISIS SANS Command Interface and its supporting libraries are now removed from Mantid.

  • SANSAdd2, SANSUtility and isis_instrument libraries have change its relative path to sans/common/ to homogenize with current SANS libraries, SANSAdd2 and SANSUtility are renamed to run_adder and utils.

  • SaveSESANS now also writes the sample changer position(s) to the file header, taken from the SamplePos log within the selected time range or from the new SamplePosition property. The run numbers of the blank and of the sample and blank transmission measurements can be added with the new BlankRunNumber, SampleTransmissionRunNumber and BlankTransmissionRunNumber properties.

Bugfixes#

  • SaveSESANS now writes the value of the Orientation property to the file header. Previously Z was always written, whatever orientation was selected.

  • The ISIS SANS GUI no longer rounds lengths shown in millimetres to one decimal place (e.g. Z offset, radius cut, radius limits and Q resolution apertures and beam center shifts). The full value from the user file is now displayed and used in the reduction.
