Description
When a detector is masked using the MarkDeadDetectors algorithm this sets a 'dead' flag within the Instrument object itself. This is potentially shared among workspaces and would even be loaded in as the instrument for a newly loaded raw file. This behaviour is probably OK in the majority of cases where the same detectors are always masked out, but there could be situations (e.g. debugging) where it isn't what's wanted.
Change History
comment:3 Changed 12 years ago by Russell Taylor
(In [2083]) Terminology change: We no longer mark detectors as dead, rather we mask them. This masking is lifted into the parameterised instrument from the base instrument: previously, masking a detector was a one way street until Mantid is restarted for all workspaces using that instrument (even freshly loaded ones). Re #405.
