Eliminate the use of LoadIsawPeaks and SaveIsawPeaks in SCDCalibratePanels

[Ruth Mikkelson]

In Topaz, the saveIsawPeaks algorithm saves All the panels to the DetCal file, even the ones( about half) that do not exist yet.

The LoadIsawPeaks algorithm takes too long because of all the unused panels. The SCDAlgorithm has access to the base instrument so there is no need to use the LoadInstrument Algorithm.

Test Peaks File

Crystal Orientation file( ISAW Format)

The changes have already been merged into master. Technical difficulties caused problems in closing this ticket last week.

Also, last week loading an ISAW DetCal file for TOPAZ runs above 6300 took 20 sec. That is no longer the case this week. The SaveISAWDetCal algorithm also, this week, does not include a lot of non-existent detectors.

Attached are two files to use for testing. You will have to use LoadIsawPeaks to load the peaks file, then LoadIsawUB to load the mat file. Then IndexPeaks to index the peaks.

Run SCDCalibratePanels with inputs of Peaks,OnePanelPerGroup,abc_alpha..=4.785,4.785,12.991,90,90,120. Check all boxes and set tolerance=.12. The Filenames are where the results go. The rest of the options can be defaults, though it should be run a second time with preprocessInstrument=B)Apply a ISAW DetCal file. The name of this DetCal file is the result from the first run.

If you are working in MantidPlot, debug mode can be enabled. You will get a lot of output.

Followed the testing instructions. There is indeed no need to use the LoadInstrument algorithm.
