McXtrace:

[ Identification | Description | Examples | Input parameters | Links ]

The Instrument

Regression test of the NeXus writer of the McCode runtime.

Identification

  • Site: Tests_other
  • Author: Peter Willendrup
  • Origin: DTU
  • Date: October 2026

Description

Monitors of the NeXus output kinds (0D, 1D, 2D, Monitor_nD histogram and an
event list) for test_nexus_output.py, which runs this instrument with
--format=NeXus, serial and with MPI, and checks mccode.h5 with h5py:

- string values containing '%' are stored as given (instrument parameter
'tag', component parameter literal 'filename="f%%1"')
- all string attributes and data sets are printable text
- no debug output on stdout
- a monitor with a very long file name ('longname', about 1000
characters) does not crash the simulation or lose other monitors
- a second run with --append adds entry2 to mccode.h5

The instrument also runs in the default (McCode) format.
