This algorithm allows instrument parameters to be saved into an instrument parameter file. The parameter file can then be inspected and or modified. It can also be loaded back into Mantid using the LoadParameterFile algorithm.
The LocationParameters property specifies whether or not to save any calibration parameters used to adjust the location of any components. Specifically, it will skip "x", "y", "z", "r-position", "t-position", "p-position", "rotx", "roty", and "rotz" parameters.
import os
#Create a path in the user's home directory filename = os.path.expanduser("~/params.xml")
#Load a workspace ws = Load(Filename = "MAR11001.raw")
#Save the workspace's instrument's parameters to the given file. SaveParameterFile(Workspace = ws, Filename = filename, LocationParameters = False)
os.remove(filename)
