Enhancements around Transmission Runs

[Owen Arnold]

The following are important to get fixed for the next release.

Messages from user:

1) The transmission column in the table doesn't seem to accept a workspace, rather than one or more run numbers

2) A transmission workspace is created for every single line in the table. Originally there was a check whether the requested transmission run already existed, i.e. from the one or two run numbers given, a name is formed and that workspace remains in the list of workspaces for future use. Then, if the same run number(s) are encountered in the table, the already present trans workspace is used (rather than re-loading and generating the same one again).

refs #9168 Fixed pascal case noted in other ticket

In #9038 it was noted that there was some pascal case named varables and parameters knocking about, i've renamed those i could find

Refs #9168 transmission runs are now reused if possible

When processing in the gui, the gui will check the last transmission runs used and use the workspace from last time if it can.

The gui will accept workspace and file names for transmission runs.

Some instances of print have been changed to logger.debug

To Tester

Set the Log to debug.

Load INTER_NR_test2.tbl into the interface and process it. Note that the 'trans' columns all contain the same run numbers.

In the log you should notice that "Creating new transmission correction workspace." appears once and "Using existing transmission workspace." appears three times. This shows that it is now creating the transmission correction workspace once, reusing it for the other runs that use the same transmission runs, then deleting it; rather than creating and deleting it four times.

Also try putting workspace and file names into the transmission runs column. Files don't need an extension and must be in your managed user directories.

Hi Keith, could you attach a copy of INTER_NR_test2.tbl please?

[Keith Brown]

It's in the ISIS sample data. ​http://download.mantidproject.org/download.psp?f=/SampleData/SampleData-ISIS.zip

I forgot to attach a link to http://www.mantidproject.org/ISIS_Reflectometry_Examples which would have mentioned that
