Documentation:
This macros are now OBSOLETE DESCRIPTION This macro implements access to F.Sever's device servers controlling the delay line detector complex. The aim of this implementation is to provide easy access to the detector from SPEC, a full access to the functionalities of the Dld is available with F.Sever's SPEC-independent client. The frame information has to be prepared in a file. Each line of this file will represent a framepair. Each framepair is made up of seven values. EXAMPLE ATTENTION
Changes in this macro are foreseen:
- To use the scalers as pseudo-counters inside spec.
- Two modes of operation, two version of device servers may coexist
for a while
DEPENDENCIES The macro plot2.mac has to be read before this one. The macro Xdld.mac has to be read with this one. | ||||||
Macros:
Usage: dldsetup [dld_dev xfr_dev host remdir headdir energy_dc sample-distance_dc detector-position_dc] : The following parameters have to be given with this command or it will ask for them interactively: - dld_dev: device server name for main dld control - xfr_dev: device server name for data transfer - host: where to store remote data - remdir: name of directory where to store data in remote host - headdir: name of local directory where temporarily store header data - energy_dc: name for energy device in data collector it must follow device nomenclature. i.e domain/family/member and be the same as that in monochromator spec application - sample_distance_dc name for sample distance in data collector - detector_position_dc name for detector position in data collector dldacq Usage: dldacq acqtime Do an acquisition on Dld for acqtime seconds on live Single frame, single cycle dldsettime Usage: dldsettime Set time for dldacq dldconfig Usage: dldconfig Ask for values to prepare a new configuration for an acquistion. and make them effective. The values asked are: Resolution in X (possible values: 1,256,512,1024,2048,4096) Resolution in Y (possible values: 1,256,512,1024,2048,4096) Data Length (bits: 16,32) Frame information file name Number of cycles Prefix for output filenames dldstart Usage: dldstart [0/1 [part-no [title-string [rel. position]]]] Triggers an acquisition. When a parameter ( 0 or 1 ) is given the acquisition is started in internal mode (0) or in external mode (1). When no parameter is given the default is internal mode, without needing of external trigger. The second parameter, if present, is the number of the partition to be used. If not present the macro will ask for used partition and will prompt the user for the next partition to be used. Special macro for dealing with 24bit scalers... Saturated after 15seconds with 1 MHz input rate. The macro uses all data in dldconfig but takes as parameter the number of iterations for the acquisition to be performed. Each iteration will save the scaler values in SPEC memory The title-string is stored by dldhmread in the header file. If not specified the default given in dldinfo is used. The relative position is the offset (in mm) of the sample relative to the detector position. It is used to calculate the sampledistance from the detector position (sample distance = detector position + relative position). The sample distance is stored by dldhmread in the header file. If not specified, the sample position is used that is stored in the data base. The following additional parameters are read (mainly from the database): machine info, station info, optics info (currently not), detector position, sample distance, start time Dldconfig has to be issued first. dldsum Usage: dldsum [frame-no [part-no]] Displays the detector counts, anode counts, the number of incident and transmitted photons and the counting time. The number of detector counts are calculated only for 32 bits/pixel. From these numbers the rejection and the effective count rate are calculated. If an other than the current partition number is used only the detector counts are displayed. dldscalerassign must be used first. dldconfigstart Usage: dldconfigstart Change the internal state of the Dld server to "Init" dldconfigend Usage: dldconfigend Change the internal state of the Dld server to "Idle" dldconfigall Usage: dldconfigall Reads frame information from DLD_FRAME_FILE and makes it effective. Then uses DLD_DATA_LENGT and DLD_RESOL values and give them to device server Gives frame info to Tfg dldnocycles Usage: dldnocycles number Sets the value for the number of cycles. dldchangepart Usage: dldchangepart [partition-number] Gives information about the partition status and then prompts the user for a new partition to use. If the partition chosen already has data gives the user the option of clear it or reuse it keeping the old values. When the macros is invoked with no parameter it will prompt the user for a partition number. When one parameter is given, this correspond to the partition number to be used and by default the partition is cleared if it already had data dldstatus Usage: dldstatus Gives full status information. dldstop Usage: dldstop Stops the acquisition that is currently running. dldpause Usage: dldpause [0/1] Suspends the execution of an acquisition until a new dldstart command is issued. Like 'dldstart' this macro accepts a mode parameter 0=internal, 1=external. dldhmread Usage: dldhmread [part-no] Dumps the 32 scalers and a partition into a file. If the partition number is not given the current partition is dumped. The name of the file is formed with the prefix given in the configuration plus a three number suffix starting with 001. This number is automatically incremented. The full name of the file is echoed to the user. The user should avoid starting a new acquisition on a partition that is being dumped. This risks to make losing the data. To know the status of the reading process use the macro dldreadpoll. dldxfrstop Usage: dldxfrstop Allows to return Xfr to a well known state. Current transfer is stoped. And connections to file and remote hosts are closed. dldreadsc Usage: dldreadsc [scaler-no] Reads into SPEC memory the contents of a selected scaler. If the scaler number is not given the user is prompted for one. dldplot Usage: dldplot Shows in a plot the values read by the previous 'dldreadsc'. Usage : dldplot firstfr lastfr ymin ymax dldplot firstfr lastfr dldplot dldscaler Usage: dldscaler [scaler-no] dldscalersetup Usage: dldscalersetup Macro that allows the user to give information about each individual scaler. dldsave Usage: dldsave [filename] Save scaler setup values. Takes filename as input. But only considered the string until the first dot. Completes the name with suffix dld. dldrestore Usage: dldrestore [filename] Restore scaler setup values from a previous dldsave. Takes filename as input. But only considered the string until the first dot. Completes the name with suffix dld. ws Usage: ws [frame-no] Macro to show scaler values. wss Usage: wss Displays the zero values and calibration values of all scalers. This information is introduced with dldscalersetup dldscalerassign Usage: dldscalerassign i0-scaler i1-scaler time-scaler anode-scaler + 4 alt. scalers + HS32depth Assignment of a scaler and an alternative scaler as monitor for incident photons (i0), transmitted photons (i1), time (time) and anode counts (anode). An alternative scaler is used, if its value shows, that the basic scaler has an overflow. dlddump Usage: dlddump [startno [endno]] Dump scaler setup on the screen dldscalerzero Usage: dldscalerzero count-time [iterations [startno [endno]]] Measurement of the zero values for scaler startno to endno, default is 1 to 16. dldscalercalib Usage: dldscalercalib dldscalersave Usage: dldscalersave Save the data from 'dldreadsc' into a file. Can be restored with 'dldload' dldload Usage: dldload Restores scaler data previously saved with dldsave. dldprint Usage: dldprint [xmin xmax [ymin ymax]] Sends to the plot the values from 'dldreadsc'. It allows to select a region of the data by specifying min and max values for both axes. | ||||||
