The script TngEigerCli.py is a very simple interface
to operate the Eiger2 detector.

positional arguments:
namePattern ['p07e2x4m', 'p08e1m', 'p08e2x1m', 'p10e4m',
'p62e2x4m', 'p62e2x9m']

-h, --help show this help message and exit
--pe PHOTONENERGY the x-ray energy of the experiment [eV], e.g.: 8980 eV
--et ENERGYTHRESHOLD energy threshold [eV], e.g.: 4020 eV
--ct COUNTTIME the time the detector counts photons
--pf PREFIX prefix used in
current/raw/SingleShots/<devName>/<prefix>_$id

--nbt NBTRIGGERS set NbTriggers attribute, e.g.: 1
--nbi NBIMAGES the number of images in a series of images after a
trigger
--ipf IMAGESPERFILE images per file
--ints execute a run with using internal triggers
--exts execute a run with using external triggers
--extssim execute a run with using external triggers, simulate
with oreg
--fh Displays some lines from the Dectris docu
--default set EigerPars with default attributes, no I/O
--list list the files on the DCU
--init sets the Eiger attributes to some defaults
--delete delete the files on the DCU
--download download files to ScanDir

--download_dldir download files to DownloadDirectory (Tango server attribute)
--write write EigerPars_<name> dict to servers
--read read selected attributes from servers
--display display the MS env. dictionary EigerPars_<name>
TngEigerCLI.py p62e2x4m
list selected attributes from EigerPars_<name>
TngEigerCLI.py p62e2x4m --ct 1.5
set the count time to 1.5 s in EigerPars_<name> and in the device
TngEigerCLI.py p62e2x4m --list list the DCU files
TngEigerCLI.py p62e2x4m --download download the DCU files to ScanDir
TngEigerCLI.py p62e2x4m --download_scandir download the DCU files to ScanDir
TngEigerCLI.py p62e2x4m --download_dldir download the DCU files to DownloadDirectory (TS attribute)
TngEigerCLI.py p62e2x4m --delete delete the DCU files and directories
TngEigerCLI.py p62e2x4m --nbt 10 --ct 0.01 --ipf 10 --nbi 10
10 software trigger, countTime 0.01, frameTime = ct + frameTimeMin
images per file 10, number of images 10
Update EigerPars_<name> and the device
TngEigerCLI.py p62e2x4m --ints write EigerPars_<name> then execute internal trigger run
TngEigerCLI.py p62e2x4m --exts write EigerPars_<name> then execute external trigger run
TngEigerCLI.py p62e2x4m --extssim write EigerPars_<name> then execute a sim. external trigger run
['p08e2x1m', 'p10e4m', 'p11e2x16m', 'p62e2x4m', 'p02e2x4m', 'p62e2x9m', 'p07e2x4m']
EigerCli.py stores attribute values in a dictionary, a Macroserver environment variable called EigerPars_<name>. This way, the user selections are made persistent. Before a run is launched these parameters are written to the detector and the filewriter. The contents of EigerPars_<name> can be inspected by:
p99user@hasnp99eh:~/temp$ TngEigerCLI3.py p99e2x4m --display The contents of EigerPars_p99e2x4m (MacroServer environment variable) Name : p99e2x4m APIVersion : ['1.8.0'] DeviceName : haspp99eh2:10000/p99/eiger/e4m FilewriterName : haspp99eh2:10000/p99/eiger_filewriter/e4m FilewriterMode : enabled CountTime : 0.42 EnergyThreshold : 4020.0 ImagesPerFile : 10 NbImages : 10.0 NbTriggers : 1 PhotonEnergy : 8980.0 Prefix : tst TriggerMode : ints
To change the CountTime attribute:
p99user@haspp99eh2:~$ TngEigerCLI.py p99e2x4m --ct 0.1 Eiger.writeAttrs: CountTime to 0.1 Eiger.writeAttrs: TriggerMode to ints Eiger.writeAttrs: NbTriggers to 1 Eiger.writeAttrs: NbImages to 10 Eiger.writeAttrs: ImagesPerFile to 10 Eiger.writeAttrs: FilenamePattern to current/raw/SingleShots/p99e2x4m/tst_$id Read selected attributed from p99e2x4m Device haspp99eh2:10000/p99/eiger/e4m Filewriter haspp99eh2:10000/p99/eiger_filewriter/e4m CountTime 0.1 NbImages 10 NbTriggers 1 TriggerMode ints State tango._tango.DevState.ON FW FilenamePattern current/raw/SingleShots/p99e2x4m/tst_$id FW mode enabled FW ImagesPerFile 10 FW State tango._tango.DevState.ON
Next we start a run using the internal trigger mode:
p10user@haspp10lab:~/temp$ TngEigerCLI.py p10e4m --ints runInts: FilenamePattern current/raw/SingleShots/p10e4m/tst_$id runInts: CountTime 0.01 runInts: FrameTime 0.0113323 runInts: NbImages 10 runInts: NbTriggers 5 runInts: ImagesPerFile 10 runInts: arm() ...... trigger 0 0.120812/0.113323 trigger 1 0.123407/0.113323 trigger 2 0.123452/0.113323 trigger 3 0.12443/0.113323 trigger 4 0.122332/0.113323 .. FW state() ON after 0.211571 s runInts: disarm() runInts: NbImages 1 runInts: NbTriggers 1
To inspect the files on the DCU (this makes sense only if HiDRA is not in operation):
p99user@haspp99lab:~/temp$ TngEigerCLI.py p99e4m --list crawler: url http://haspp99e4m.desy.de/data crawler: url http://haspp99e4m.desy.de/data/current/ crawler: url http://haspp99e4m.desy.de/data/current/raw/ crawler: url http://haspp99e4m.desy.de/data/current/raw/SingleShots/ crawler: url http://haspp99e4m.desy.de/data/current/raw/SingleShots/p99e4m/ listFunc: http://haspp99e4m.desy.de/data/current/raw/SingleShots/p99e4m/tst_74_data_000001.h5 listFunc: http://haspp99e4m.desy.de/data/current/raw/SingleShots/p99e4m/tst_74_data_000002.h5 listFunc: http://haspp99e4m.desy.de/data/current/raw/SingleShots/p99e4m/tst_74_data_000003.h5 listFunc: http://haspp99e4m.desy.de/data/current/raw/SingleShots/p99e4m/tst_74_data_000004.h5 listFunc: http://haspp99e4m.desy.de/data/current/raw/SingleShots/p99e4m/tst_74_data_000005.h5 listFunc: http://haspp99e4m.desy.de/data/current/raw/SingleShots/p99e4m/tst_74_master.h5
