Change the StartLiveData GUI to accept a 'Last N minutes' entry

Reported by: Russell Taylor Owned by: Russell Taylor
Priority: minor Milestone: Release 3.0
Component: MantidPlot Keywords: LiveData

Description (last modified by Russell Taylor) (diff)

Instead of an absolute start time, which the user would have to type in in full in the correct format.

I think it would be very rare than anyone will use this, but this seems like a good simplification anyway.

Re #6806. Update start time option to "N minutes ago".

This replaces having to give an absolute time in UTC (though that's still the format used by the underlying algorithm). This is more user-friendly and compact, though I'd expect this to be an extremely rarely-used option in any case.

Capitalization correction to avoid accidental new category.

NOT Re #6806 - I just happened to spot it when I was working on that ticket.

Tester: Branch is feature/6806_startlivedata_last_n_minutes

This is a fairly small change to the StartLiveData custom dialog (lauched via Load -> Live Data). It's to the 'Starting Time' box at the top left. For starting from a particular time, instead of the user having to fill in an ISO8601 time in UTC they can now say they want to start from N minutes ago. This is then translated into an absolute time underneath before it's passed to the algorithm.

You can test this using the FakeEventDataListener. Enter some number of minutes ago, hit Run and then check that the correct time got through to the algorithm by hitting the 'Details' button in MantidPlot, expanding the MonitorLiveData entry and checking the StartTime property. In fact, the FakeEventDataListener pays no attention to the StartTime it's given, but that's immaterial to the scope of this ticket.
