This algorithm loads all monitors found in a NeXus file into a single Workspace2D <Workspace2D> (if there is no event data) or into an EventWorkspace <EventWorkspace> (if event monitor data is found). The algorithm assumes that all of the monitors are histograms and have the same bin boundaries. NOTE: The entry is assumed to be in SNS or ISIS format, so the loader is currently not generically applicable. It is also written for single entry files and will need tweaking to handle period data where the monitors are different.
Ex
ws = LoadNexusMonitors("CNCS_7860_event.nxs") # CNCS has 3 monitors print "Number of monitors =", ws.getNumberHistograms()
Output:
Ex
Number of monitors = 3
