"""
Conversion class defined for conversion to deltaE for
'direct' inelastic geometry instruments
   
The class defines various methods to allow users to convert their 
files to DeltaE.

Example:

Assuming we have the follwing data files for MARI. 
NOTE: This assumes that the data path for these runs is in the 
Mantid preferences.

mono-sample: 11015
white: 11060
mono-van: 11001
with sample mass 10g and RMM 435.96

reducer.normalise_method = 'monitor-2'
reducer.background = False
reducer.fix_ei = True
reducer.save_formats = ['.spe']
# 
Set parameters for these runs
reducer.map_file = 'mari_res.map'
reducer.energy_bins = '-10,0.1,80'

Run the conversion
