Description:

Documentation:
The MAR345 scanner provides a X-ray detection area from 180 to 345 mm with two possible pixel sizes 100 and 150 micro-meter. This scanner is using a unique image-plate that is erased after each exposure-read-out cycle. This is why the mar is used as detector and not as a offline scanner. Read-out cycles range from 108 to 34 (!!!) seconds, depending on pixel size and scanned plate diameter. This is about 3 times faster than other scanners and actually comes close to the performance of CCD-detectors. a TACO device server named MarScan345ds is running on the MAR computer and controls the scanner. OVERVIEW These user macros allow full control of the scanner for doing single scan, enabling spec scan with the mar like pseudo-counter or starting a data collection with spindle/shutter synchronisation. DEPENDENCIES The file(s) mar345.mac, ccd.mac have to be read in | ||||||
Macros:
Usage: marsetup Setup parameters for MAR345 scanner maron Usage: maron Activate marscan during scan acquisitions maroff Usage: maroff Deactivate marscan during scan acquisitions marscan Usage: marscan ["frame number"] ["image directory"] ["filename prefix"] Starts a scan command on MAR 345 scanner marread Usage: marread [binning factor] read the last image by applying binning reduction and display it. marstop Usage: marstop Stop once the current command is completed marwait Usage: marwait to get synchronized with the scanner marmode Usage: marmode ["mode"] change the mode marformat Usage: marformat ["format"] Change the format marerase Usage: marerase Start erasure of the image plate, take a while ... marnewfile Usage: marnewfile Set new file parameters. marimagepar Usage: marimagepar Set image parameters, detector distance and wavelength marcollect Usage: marcollect ["filename prefix"] ["frames number"] ["passes number"] ["oscillation range"] ["oscillation overlap"] ["exposure time"] ["starting position"] ["image directory"] ["erase first"] Performs the data collection. will acquire [frames number] images into the ["image directory"] directory with the file names ["filename prefix"]_$$ (where $$ is from [starting frame number] to [starting frame number]+[frames number]. The first position will be [starting position], the angle oscillation for each frame is [oscillation range] and there will be [passes number] passes for each frame in [exposure time] seconds. | ||||||
