Calculating Calibration

Notes

• This approach has been imported from ISAW (SCD Calibration)
• Only works for :ref:`RectangularDetector`

Data Required

You will need :ref:`PeaksWorkspace` with indexed peaks from multiple orientations.

Steps for rectangular detector based instruments

:ref:`SCDCalibratePanels <algm-SCDCalibratePanels>` is the prime algorithm that performs this calibration. Take a look the description and workflow sections of the :ref:`algorithm documentation <algm-SCDCalibratePanels>` for more details. If you set a value for DetCalFilename then it will output a DetCal file for :ref:`LoadIsawDetCal <algm-LoadIsawDetCal>`.

Applying your calibration

After calibration, you can save the workspace to Nexus (or Nexus processed) and get it back by loading in a later Mantid session. You can copy the calibration to another workspace using the same instrument by means of the :ref:`CopyInstrumentParameters <algm-CopyInstrumentParameters>` algorithm. To do so select the workspace, which you have calibrated as the InputWorkspace and the workspace you want to copy the calibration to, the OutputWorkspace.
