Script Generator: Estimate Measurement Duration

[kjwoodsISIS]

As a user, I would like the Script Generator to provide an estimate of the duration of a measurement, based on a rate that I provide.

Acceptance Criteria

1. I can provide a rate for each measurement in my script.
2. The Script Generator calculates an estimated duration for each measurement

Notes

1. This feature is particularly requested by the muons group. The old script generator had this facility.

How is this different from the estimated time facility?

[kjwoodsISIS]

It probably isn't. When I looked for a ticket with a "estimated time facility", I couldn't find one - most likely I just missed it.

[John-Holt-Tessella]

I believe it is already implemented #4172

[kjwoodsISIS]

Well, that's interesting! The muons don't seem to know about it.

[John-Holt-Tessella]

In which case maybe we should change this ticket to let the muons know they can use time estimates in their scripts.

I think the issue is actually #5616. The time estimation does not work for them because they need to set a global rate for the whole script. I believe we can close this ticket in favour of proposing #5616

[JamesKingWork]

When it says "I can provide a rate" does it mean the user can provide a rate or it is provided by the script definition?

[DominicOram]

The user. They want a box at the top of the view that they put a constant in and this constant will then be used by every line of the script to do the time estimation

[John-Holt-Tessella]

Is it ok to close this for the more general #5616?

[kjwoodsISIS]

Closed as a duplicate of #5616.
