The `Histogrammer` Instrument

Takes eventfile input (Virtual_input/Vitess/MCNP/Tripoli4 formats) and applies Monitor_nD to generate histograms. Histograms can be chosen freely using the options string, see mcdoc Monitor_nD.comp

Description

Takes any possible  McStas eventfile inputs (Virtual_input/Vitess/MCNP/Tripoli4 formats) and applies
Monitor_nD to generate user-selectable neutron histograms.

Example: mcrun Histogrammer.instr MODE=0
- Gives information on the input parameters

Example: mcrun Histogrammer.instr filename="events.dat" MODE=1 options="sphere theta phi outgoing previous" type="text"
- Reads a Virtual_output generated event file and applies a spherical PSD

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.

Name	Unit	Description	Default
filename	string	Specifies input event file	0
MODE	int	Input file mode/format - 0 for help on usage 1=McStas,2=Vitess,3=MCNP,4=Tripoli4	0
options	string	Specifies the histogramming rules used by Monitor_nD. It MUST contain the 'previous' word - see mcdoc page	"sphere theta phi outgoing previous"
type	string	Virtual_input event files, 'type' parameter(text/float/double) - see mcdoc page	"text"
bufsize	int	Vitess_input 'buffersize' parameter - see mcdoc page	10000
xwidth	m	Horizontal width of detector, or diameter for banana,cylinder and shpere geometry	0.1
yheight	m	Vertical height of detector, for plate, cylinder, banana shape	0.1
