leonarski_fandClaude Fable 5 70c4d871b6 Documentation sweep: Rugnux naming, repository citations, defect pass
- Capitalize Rugnux as a proper noun throughout the prose; the command
  stays lowercase `rugnux` in code font. RUGNUX_OVERVIEW.md is retitled
  "What Rugnux does".
- ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.md cites the raw-data repositories only: dataset counts
  and DOI prefixes moved out (EXTERNAL_TEST_DATA.md owns them), the ESRF
  data portal gains its citation (Dimper et al. 2019), and MXRDR remains
  name + link - it has no canonical citation paper.
- RUGNUX_FORMATS.md: the CCD formats (marCCD, SMV) are supported as-is
  with very limited scope, and per-panel XFEL data is not read.
- Fix wrong facts a reader would act on: nonexistent `make jfjoch`
  targets, invalid udev rules, PUSH sockets documented as PULL, swapped
  writer width/height, underload semantics, the transposed pixel-mask
  numpy example (the server checks width and height separately), the
  Durin/Neggia mask-bit table, FPGA threshold register addresses and the
  mailbox bit field, the I2C core's document number (PG090), an inverted
  MODEL_FIT_SIGMA formula, a self-inconsistent worked report example,
  and 11 cross-page anchors whose slugs carry MyST section numbers.
- Unify CC1/2 spelling in prose; math notation and report keys unchanged.
- Sweep grammar, typos and editing residue across the FPGA, deployment,
  streaming and analysis pages, including historical CHANGELOG typos.
- rugnux_cli.cpp: the -S usage/error examples pair 96 with P43212;
  92 names a different group.
- Root THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md: scope the GPL-compatibility claim (CUDA
  EULA) and the vendored-table intro (traccc); the docs copy regenerates
  via update_version.sh.

Pixel mask

Mask format

Jungfraujoch generally follows the NXmx format for the pixel mask. The pixel mask is a 32-bit unsigned integer array of the same size as the image. The conditions for masking a pixel are encoded by setting a particular bit to one. This makes it possible to record the reason why a pixel is included in the mask, and several reasons can be recorded for one pixel at the same time.

Bit values are set as follows:

Bit 0 - gap (pixel with no sensor)

Bit 1 - error pixel (for PSI JUNGFRAU: pixel doesn't set proper gain during pedestal, for DECTRIS: pixel is part of detector pixel mask)

Bit 4 - noisy pixel (for PSI JUNGFRAU: pixel pedestal G0 RMS is over threshold, for DECTRIS: pixel was flagged with signal during dark data collection at initialization)

Bit 8 - user defined mask

Bit 9 - beam stop shadow (found by rugnux --detect-beam-stop, on by default; see Rugnux). Unlike the other bits this one belongs to the run that found it, not to the dataset: Rugnux clears it at the start of every run, so a mask read back from a file that carries one starts clear. The user mask (bit 8) is left alone.

Bit 30 - module edge (only for PSI systems)

Bit 31 - chip edge interpolated pixel (multipixel)

Custom user mask

Jungfraujoch allows a custom user mask to be uploaded. This happens in two steps. First create the mask in TIFF format:

import numpy as np
import tifffile as tiff

# Create an array matching a 2068 x 2164 (width x height) image: 2164 rows, 2068 columns
array = np.zeros((2164, 2068), dtype=np.uint32)

# Mark the pixel at column 400, row 300 with the value 1
array[300, 400] = 1

# Save the array as a TIFF file
tiff.imwrite('mask.tiff', array)

Pixels with non-zero value in the TIFF file will be marked as belonging to the user mask (bit 8).

Then upload the mask to Jungfraujoch server:

curl -v http://<jfjoch_broker http address>/config/user_mask.tiff -XPUT --data-binary @mask.tiff
