Description

The algorithm rebins data with new bin boundaries. The 'params' property defines new boundaries in intervals . Positive make constant width bins, whilst negative ones create logarithmic binning using the formula

This algorithms is useful both in data reduction, but also in remapping ragged workspaces to a regular set of bin boundaries.

The bin immediately before the specified boundaries x₂, x₃, ... x_i is likely to have a different width from its neighbours because there can be no gaps between bins. Rebin ensures that any of these space filling bins cannot be less than 25% or more than 125% of the width that was specified.

Example Rebin param strings

0,100,20000

From 0 rebin in constant size bins of 100 up to 20,000

2,-0.035,10

From 10 rebin in Logarithmic bins of 0.035 up to 10

0,100,10000,200,20000

From 0 rebin in steps of 100 to 10,000 then steps of 200 to 20,000

Usage

Python

Rebin("InWS2","OutWS","x1,dx1,x2")
