-Pulls numeric parameters out of the instrument parameters where possible. You can override any of these automatically applied defaultsby providing your own value for the input.

+If ProcessingInstructions is not set its value is inferred from other properties:
+
+* If AnalysisMode = PointDetectorAnalaysis and PointDetectorStart = PointDetectorStop then the spectrum specified by PointDetectorStart is used.
+* If AnalysisMode = PointDetectorAnalaysis and PointDetectorStart ≠ PointDetectorStop then the sum of the spectra from PointDetectorStart to PointDetectorStop is used.
+* If AnalysisMode = MultiDetectorAnalaysis then all of the spectra from MultiDetectorStart onwards are used.
 
 See :ref:`algm-ReflectometryReductionOne` for more information on the wrapped algorithm.
