Starting Mantid

Bring up a terminal and enter the following commands:

The Mantid session will start. Select SNS as "Default Facility" and BASIS as "Default Instrument":

• Click on the "Manage User Directories" button.
• Click "Browse To Directory" and navigate to the location of the data files (/SNS/users/yourusername/SHUG2015/mantid/me8t8).
• Do the same for the default save directory.

• Click "OK".
• Click "Set".

The initial Mantid session should look like the picture below, but don't worry if some of the panels are not showing up. Panels can be brought to view from the View menu.

Mantid can plot data with the intensity normalized by the bin width, and this is the default behaviour for all histogram and event data. As we are not going to use this normalization in this course we need to change the default settings. To do that, go to "View"->"Preferences..." and in the new window select "2D Plots" and untick "Normalize histograms to bin width".

Adding a directory to the list of "Data Search Directories"

We will add directory /SNS/users/shared/MantidTrainingCourseData to the list. This directory contains all data that is used in the Mantid courses.

First, click in the "Manage User Directories" icon. This will bring about the dialog window:

Write down the path of the directory and then click in "Add Directory":

Now the directory has been included in the list:

Finally, click the "OK" button.

Every time you load a file with the Load Algorithm, these directories will be searched.
