Autoreduction server and automatic data reduction
Autoreduction process listens to the events, produced by a machine, running the experiment and automatically reduces data, obtained from this experiment when the run is finished.
Autoreduction Server provides web-interface for changing and running reduction scripts.
The reduction scripts themselves can be found in ISIS network mounted on ISIS Unix machines in:
/archive/NDX[INSTRUMENT_NAME]/user/scripts/autoreduction/
or on Windows machines in:
\\isis\inst$\NDX[INSTRUMENT_NAME]\user\scripts\autoreduction
folders. Three files can be found(placed) there, namely reduce.py, reduce_vars.py and [INSTRUMENT_NAME]Reduction.py. Autoreduction automatically runs reduce.py script and processes reduce_vars.py as input variables. For ISIS inelastic instruments reduce.py script currently deploys [INSTRUMENT_NAME]Reduction.py script, which is the same script as the one, described in the Sample Scripts section of this WIKI, but renamed accordingly.
reduce_vars.py can be automatically generated from [INSTRUMENT_NAME]Reduction.py if [INSTRUMENT_NAME]Reduction.py is run from Mantid, but autoreduction (or rather reduce.py) runs [INSTRUMENT_NAME]Reduction.py overriding all variables from [INSTRUMENT_NAME]Reduction.py by variables from reduce_vars.py.
Autoreduction server builds web interface on the basis of the variables found in reduce_vars.py file, and user can use Web-interface to change the values of these variables to run script with new values from autoreduction.
