ess.reduce.nexus.workflow.load_nexus_sample(location)[source]#

Load a NeXus sample group from a file.

If there is no sample group in the file, an empty group is returned. This should not happen, but handling it gracefully makes testing and working with pre-production files easier. There should be little harm in returning an empty group. Subsequent extract of the sample position will then default to the origin.
