Special FOCUS Initializations

These initailizations are special to the FOCUS instrument:

InstallFocusmerge datafile

Installs the module which is responsible for merging focus data into merged detector banks.

MakeFocusAverager average hmc

Installs the average command and the focusraw command into SICS which are used by the FOCUS status client in order to display processed histogram memory data.

Special Internal FOCUS Support Commands

focusraw bankid

Dumps in UUencoded form the content of the detector bank bankid. This is required in order to add the TOF-binning to the data and in order to handle the virtual merged detector bank which is built from contributions of the three physical detector banks.

average start stop bankid

Sums the detectors between start and stop of detector bankid into a histogram. A standard display in the status client.

focusmerge puttwotheta nxscriptmod bankname alias

Writes two theta values for the detector bank bankname into the file described by the nxscript module nxsciptmod to the alias alias. A helper function for data file writing.

focusmerge putmerged nxscriptmod alias

Writes the virtual merged detector bank into alias in nxscriptmod.

focusmerge putsum nxscriptmod bankname alias

Writes the summed counts for detector bank bankname under alias into nxscriptmod.

focusmerge putelastic nxscriptmod alias theoelastic

Calculate the position of the elastic line and write it to alias in nxscriptmod. If no elastic line can be calculated, the theoretical elastic line, theoelastic, is used.
