ess.sans.i_of_q.preprocess_monitor_data(monitor, wavelength_bins, non_background_range, uncertainties)

Prepare monitor data for computing the transmission fraction. The input data are first converted to wavelength (if needed). If a non_background_range is provided, it defines the region where data is considered not to be background, and regions outside are background. A mean background level will be computed from the background and will be subtracted from the non-background counts. Finally, if wavelength bins are provided, the data is rebinned to match the requested binning.

Parameters:

• monitor (WavelengthMonitor[TypeVar(RunType, types.BackgroundRun (int), types.EmptyBeamRun (int), types.SampleRun (int), TransmissionRun[types.SampleRun (int)], TransmissionRun[types.BackgroundRun (int)]), TypeVar(MonitorType, types.Incident (int), types.Transmission (int))]) – The monitor to be pre-processed.

• wavelength_bins (types.WavelengthBins (scipp.Variable)) – The binning in wavelength to use for the rebinning.

• non_background_range (types.NonBackgroundWavelengthRange (types.scipp._scipp.core.Variable | None)) – The range of wavelengths that defines the data which does not constitute background. Everything outside this range is treated as background counts.

• uncertainties (UncertaintyBroadcastMode) – The mode for broadcasting uncertainties. See ess.reduce.uncertainty.UncertaintyBroadcastMode for details.

Returns:

CleanMonitor[TypeVar(RunType, types.BackgroundRun (int), types.EmptyBeamRun (int), types.SampleRun (int), TransmissionRun[types.SampleRun (int)], TransmissionRun[types.BackgroundRun (int)]), TypeVar(MonitorType, types.Incident (int), types.Transmission (int))] – The input monitors converted to wavelength, cleaned of background counts, and rebinned to the requested wavelength binning.
