Description (last modified by Peter Parker) (diff)

Timmy would like to see various "sub-units" available within Mantid, specifically regarding energy.

"Necessary":

  • meV
  • eV
  • cm-1
  • THz

Also the following:

  • kjoule/mol
  • kcal/mol
  • Hartree
  • GHz
  • MHz

(Attached is a table with some of the conversion factors.)

Conversion Factor Tables

Proposed initial changes to Mantid:

  1. Change "Unit" class to support a list of sub units, each having a conversion factor. Unit objects can then be queried with a sub unit request, and then return the appropriate factor.
  2. Edit user preferences to include a preferred sub unit.
  3. Insert a boolean property into SaveAscii, along the lines of "Save in chosen sub unit?". Default is false.

Alternative, temporary implementation, to get at least some of this functionality in before the upcoming release:

  • Add a property to the Tosca parameters file, along the lines of "present user with convert to cm-1 units choice, within the Convert to Energy interface?".
  • Refer to this property when the interface starts up, and show a checkbox in load options.
  • When checked, the contents of the loaded workspace will have been converted to cm-1. (Essentially just multiply the x axis by 8.065.)
