Part of #36147. See the design and requirements documents that are linked on that issue for more context.
It is technically possible to save via the SANS command interface as a final step in the reduction workflow, but this is not functionality that the SANS Group were previously aware of and so is not currently being used. They are keen to start making use of this to streamline their scripted reductions, and it will be particularly important for supporting the Polarized SANS reduction. We should test to ensure that the save functionality is working correctly.
The save is integrated into two workflows in the command interface:
BatchReduce
method.WavRangeReduction
method (which is more commonly used). This one in particular looks to me like it may not work/work very easily at the moment. It offers a parameter where you can specify to save to file, however for this to work I think you may also need to set some save parameters first using theset_save
method. While this method is technically accessible via the command interface, it looks like it has been set up with the purpose of being used internally in theBatchReduce
method. We will need to test this and decide if any changes are required to get this working in a user-friendly way.I've given a rough time estimate if we assume that some changes will be needed to
WavRangeReduction
