ISIS direct reduction script description.

Overview

All ISIS inelastic instruments have similar interface and layout, with only parameters different for different instruments. Some parameters changing from one cycle and sometimes one experiment to another. Instrument scientists prepare sample Mantid python reduction scripts, which are then automatically distributed to users according to the rules described here.

From the links below one can retrieve resent versions of these scripts and their default parameters stored in XML files, namely:

Instrument	Simple reduction script	Full reduction script	Default reduction parameters
MARI:	[1]	[2]	[3]
MAPS:	[]	[4]	[5]
MERLIN:	[]	[6]	[7]
LET:	[]	[8]	[9]

Simple reduction script highlights only the parameters user need to change during an experiment. These parameters are usually run number or list of run numbers to process, run number for a vanadium run, energies user is interested in and energy binning. There are couple of other parameters, directly related to the experiment in progress and better described in the script itself.

Simple reduction script is then imports To use these scripts, user have to modify
