Instrument Scientist View
The instrument scientist (local contact) can send individual runs back for cataloging, or reduction, by clicking on the links at the bottom of the page.
In addition, several beamlines can open a setup page for auto-reduction (click on setup
).
The exact view is instrument specific.
Modifying the configuration page will generate a new auto-reduction script.
There is a reduction_INSTRUMENT.py
template file.
In several places in the file the variables on this page are inserted, and the file is saved as /SNS/INSTRUMENT/shared/autoreduce/reduce_INSTRUMENT.py
.
For example, in the case of ARCS, RawVanadium="${raw_vanadium}"
is changed to RawVanadium="/SNS/ARCS/IPTS-27800/nexus/ARCS_201562.nxs.h5"
.
A special case is for mask, where ${mask}
is changed to
MaskBTPParameters.append({'Pixel': '1-7,122-128'})
MaskBTPParameters.append({'Pixel': '1-12,117-128', 'Bank': '70'})
MaskBTPParameters.append({'Pixel': '1-14,115-128', 'Bank': '71'})
The current settings on the configuration page are stored in a database. Changing them and clicking submit should yield a message at the bottom of the page that contains the change time.
Admin View
Certain people can run a batch postprocessing.
On top, next to the username, click on admin
.
It will open a page like below
One can then submit several runs for re-reduction. This is useful if there is a mistake in the reduction script. The messages for postprocessing are not necessarily handled in the order of run numbers.
Note
Most instrument scientists do not have this option.
