Create alogrithm to read in SNS event preNeXus files

[Peter Peterson]

The algorithm should take event filename, pulseid filename (optional), mapping filename (optional means don't map), list of pixels to load (optional, empty means all), list of states to load (optional, empty means all), and output workspace name.

[Peter Peterson]

(In [4783]) Just ran the createAlg script to get this and fixed the compilation errors. Refs #1296.

[Peter Peterson]

(In [4785]) Filled in the init function. Refs #1296.

[Peter Peterson]

(In [4829]) Checkpointing work. It compiles but there is a runtime error that makes it not work as advertised. Refs #1296.

[Peter Peterson]

(In [4835]) Finally got the return workspace worked out. Now to add actual functionality. Refs #1296.

[Peter Peterson]

(In [4842]) Moved the event processing into its own function. Also added functionality to deal with the pixel mapping and generating states. Refs #1296.

[Peter Peterson]

(In [4849]) Added pixel map reading to the algorithm. Refs #1296.

[Janik Zikovsky]

(In [4961]) Refs #1296, made a test routine skeleton for testing LoadEventPreNeXus; needs test data files.

[Janik Zikovsky]

(In [4967]) Refs #1296 - test data for LoadEventPreNexus

[Janik Zikovsky]

(In [4968]) Refs #1296 - test data for LoadEventPreNexus

[Janik Zikovsky]

(In [4969]) Refs #1296, test of LoadEventPreNeXus with real data; some fixes to make it run.

[Janik Zikovsky]

(In [4970]) Refs #1296; temporarily disabled tests to make sure build process completes.

[Janik Zikovsky]

(In [4973]) Refs #1296; more tests for LoadEventPreNexus.

[Peter Peterson]

(In [4980]) Adding test data for LoadEventPreNeXus. Refs #1296.

[Janik Zikovsky]

(In [4981]) Refs #1296; moved test data to same folder.

[Janik Zikovsky]

(In [4982]) Refs #1296, test added that loads REF_L event data; had to make the pixelmap member public in order to test that functionality.

[Janik Zikovsky]

(In [4984]) Refs #1296, removed a superfluous include.

[Janik Zikovsky]

(In [4985]) Refs #1296, removed include that caused Windows build failure

[Janik Zikovsky]

(In [4987]) Refs #1296; disabled preventnexus tests because they inexplicably fail to build on Windows.

[Janik Zikovsky]

(In [5000]) Refs #1296; Added DLLExport to hopefully allow build under windows. Also added progress report to SimpleRebin

[Peter Peterson]

(In [5002]) Added the pulseid file to the REF_L test. Refs #1296.

[Janik Zikovsky]

(In [5012]) Refs #1296, fix runtests to compile LoadEventPreNexusTest

[Janik Zikovsky]

(In [5013]) Refs #1296: slight improvement in load event speed. Refs #1267: cleaned up comments of EventList, added AddEventQuickly method.

[Janik Zikovsky]

(In [5015]) Refs #1296: renamed methods to match coding standards; fixed up comments.

[Janik Zikovsky]

(In [5020]) Refs #1267 and #1296: more comment clean up, to fix doxygen errors.

[Janik Zikovsky]

(In [5025]) Refs #1296: more changes to comments to satisfy doxygen.

[Peter Peterson]

(In [5036]) Set the units on the workspace generated. Refs #1296.

[Janik Zikovsky]

(In [5049]) Refs #1296: set the default X histogram axis; fixed tof unit conversion. Also Refs #1313: simpleRebin Y unit is copied

[Peter Peterson]

(In [5056]) Defined a constant for the maximum tof as a uint32. Refs #1296.

[Peter Peterson]

(In [5288]) Do not convert the units on the proton charge log, also log the total proton charge after loading. Refs #1296.

[Peter Peterson]

(In [5302]) Made the instrument geometry file filter a bit more specifc to reduce the number of files to see in the browser. Refs #1296.

[Peter Peterson]

(In [5688]) Fixed bug that generated an exception if the instrument geometry file was not found. Refs #1296.

[Nick Draper]

fill in missing resolution

[Martyn Gigg]

Version [5939]

Tested in conjunction with #1267. All options work as expected.
