Configuration commands

Commands to configure the detector. these commands are often left to the configuration file.

• datastream enables/disables the 0MQ data stream (0MQ threads created) from receiver to client.

• free Free shared memory on the control PC

• add Adds a detector at the end of the multi-detector structure. put argument is the hostname or IP adress. Returns the chained list of detector hostnames.

• remove i Removes controller i from the multi-detector structure. Can be used for partial readout of the detector.

• type Sets/gets detector type (string).

• hostname put adds the hostname (ot IP adress) at the end of the multi-detector structure. If used for a single controlled (i:) replaces the current hostname. Returns the list of the hostnames of the multi-detector structure.

• id[:i] Returns the id of the detector structure. i is the detector position in a multi detector system. If used a put, configures the id of the detector structure. i is the detector position in a multi detector system and l is the id of the detector to be added.

• master i put sets the position of the master of the acquisition (-1 if none). Returns the position of the master of the detector structure (-1 if none).

• sync Sets/gets the synchronization mode of the detectors in the multi-detector structure. Can be: none, gating, trigger, complementary. Mainly used by MYTHEN/GOTTHARD.

• online [i] sets the detector in online (1) or offline (0) mode

• checkonline returns the hostnames of all detectors without connecting to them

• activate Activates/Deactivates the detector. Deactivated detector does not send data. Used for EIGER only.

• lock [i] Locks/Unlocks the detector to communicate with this client. 1 locks, 0 unlocks.

• nmod [i] sets/gets the number of modules of the detector. Used for MYTHEN only.

• maxmod Gets the maximum number of modules of the detector. Used for MYTHEN only. Cannot put!

• dr [i] sets/gets the dynamic range of detector. Mythen [4,8,16,24]. Eiger [4,8,16,32]. Others cannot put!

• roi [i] [xmin] [xmax] [ymin] [ymax] sets region of interest of the detector, where i is number of rois;i=0 to clear rois. Used for GOTTHARD only.

• detsizechan [xmax] [ymax] sets the maximum number of channels in each dimension for complete detector set; -1 is no limit. Use for multi-detector system as first command in config file.

• roimask [i] ??

• flippeddatax [i] enables/disables data being flipped across x axis. 1 enables, 0 disables. Used for EIGER only. 1 for bottom half-module, 0 for top-half module.

• flags [flag] sets/gets the readout flags to mode. Options: none, storeinram, tot, continous, parallel, nonparallel, safe, digital, analog_digital, unknown. Used for MYTHEN and EIGER only.

• extsig:[i] [flag] sets/gets the mode of the external signal i. Options: off, gate_in_active_high, gate_in_active_low, trigger_in_rising_edge, trigger_in_falling_edge, ro_trigger_in_rising_edge, ro_trigger_in_falling_edge, gate_out_active_high, gate_out_active_low, trigger_out_rising_edge, trigger_out_falling_edge, ro_trigger_out_rising_edge, ro_trigger_out_falling_edge.
  Used in MYTHEN, GOTTHARD, PROPIX only.

• programfpga [file] programs the FPGA with file f (with .pof extension). Used for JUNGFRAU, MOENCH only. Only put!

• resetfpga [f] resets FPGA, where f can be any value. Used for JUNGFRAU only. Only put!

• powerchip [i] Powers on/off the chip. 1 powers on, 0 powers off. Can also get the power status. Used for JUNGFRAU only.

• led [i] sets/gets the led status. 1 on, 0 off. Used for MOENCH only ??

• moduleversion:[i] Gets the firmware version of module i. Used for MYTHEN only. Only get!

• detectornumber Gets the serial number or MAC of detector. Only get!

• modulenumber:[i] Gets the serial number of module i. Used for MYTHEN only. Only get!

• detectorversion Gets the firmware version of detector. Only get!

• softwareversion Gets the software version of detector server. Only get!

• thisversion Gets the software version of this client software. Only get!

• receiverversion Gets the software version of receiver. Only get!

• timing [mode] sets/gets synchronization mode of the detector. Mode: auto, trigger, ro_trigger, gating, triggered_gating

• exptime [i] sets/gets exposure time in s

• subexptime [i] sets/gets sub exposure time in s. Used in EIGER only in 32 bit mode.

• period [i] sets/gets frame period in s.

• delay [i] sets/gets delay in s. Used in MYTHEN, GOTTHARD only

• gates [i] sets/gets number of gates. Used in MYTHEN, GOTTHARD, EIGER only

• gates [i] sets/gets number of frames. If timing is not auto, then it is the number of frames per cycle/trigger.

• cycles [i] sets/gets number of triggers. Timing mode should be set appropriately.

• probes [i] sets/gets number of probes to accumulate. When setting, max 3! cycles should be set to 1, frames to the number of pump-probe events. Used in MYTHEN only

• measurements [i] sets/gets number of measurements.

• samples [i] sets/gets number of samples expected from the jctb. Used in CHIP TEST BOARD only.

• exptimel [i] gets exposure time left. Used in MYTHEN, GOTTHARD only.

• periodl [i] gets frame period left. Used in MYTHEN, GOTTHARD only.

• delayl [i] gets delay left. Used in MYTHEN, GOTTHARD only.

• gatesl [i] gets number of gates left. Used in MYTHEN, GOTTHARD only.

• framesl [i] gets number of frames left. Used in MYTHEN, GOTTHARD only.
