Description

If we are to create an empty instrument by loading the HYSPEC definition file, then query the position of the monitors, we get 0.0 rather than a sensible nominal distance. 

w1=LoadEmptyInstrument(Filename=r'/opt/Mantid/instrument/HYSPEC_Definition.xml')
inst=w1.getInstrument()
monitor1=inst.getComponentByName('monitor1')
source = inst.getSource()
print monitor1.getDistance(source)
0.0
monitor2=inst.getComponentByName('monitor2')
print monitor2.getDistance(source)
0.0
