RunInfo - Create Algorithm to Produce Run Info Table

[Peter Parker]

Timmy would like to see a "wrapper" algorithm which uses CreateLogPropertyTable to do the following:

• Accept a range of runs and an OutputWorkspace name as the only input.
• Load the files with corresponding run numbers, but in batches.
• With each batch, compile a TableWorkspace of information from each run.
• Combine each table into a single output result.

I have seen files from different facilities with different log properties available, but I need to better understand these differences - i.e. does it depend on file type or instrument as well as facility?

Refs #5293 - Slight adjustment to MantidFramework.py

Allow for declareWorkspaceProperty([...] Type=ITableWorkspace) in PythonAlgorithms - currently using it would raise an exception.

Refs #5293 - First attempt at a "RetrieveRunInfo" PythonAlgorithm.

Currently, only accepts .raw files, and only when the facility is set to ISIS.

This algorithm is now fully implemented, with unit tests.

To test, make sure that your favourite ISIS instrument (who's run files contain the log properties "inst_abrv", "run_number", "user_name", "run_title" and "hd_dur") can be used with this algorithm, and that the output is as you expect.

At the very least, all TOSCA and IRIS runs should probably be supported by this algorithm.

The algorithm should also validate the input and report reasonable errors.

Ran the test on IRIS and TOSCA. The only inputs were indeed the range of runs and an output workspace.

The abbreviation for the instrument, run number, username and run title were displayed displayed and when I tried re-using the same name for the destination workspace, a warning message appeared, just as it should do from the code.

Ran test on POLARIS as well and that worked fine.
