Description
ExposureTime false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_DOUBLE OPERATOR The exposure time for the detector.\nIn the External Enable mode this value is not used by camserver.
ExposurePeriod false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_DOUBLE OPERATOR Controls the exposure period between to images in seconds. \nIt applies only in Internal or External Trigger modes when NbFrames> 1.
NbFrames false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_LONG OPERATOR The number of images to acquire when starting the detector
NbExposures false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_LONG OPERATOR The number of exposures per images.\nIt applies only in External Enable mode.
DelayTime false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_DOUBLE OPERATOR Delay in seconds between the external trigger and the start of image acquisition. \nIt only applies in External Trigger mode
ShutterEnable false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_BOOLEAN OPERATOR Enable the shutter control by the detector.
TriggerMode false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_SHORT OPERATOR The possible trigger modes for the Pilatus detector are:\n

\n 0 = Internal (external signal not used)\n
\n 1 = External Enable (count while external trigger line is high, readout on high to low transition)\n
\n 2 = External Trigger (begin acquisition sequence on high to low transition of external trigger line)\n
\n 3 = Multiple External Trigger (high to low transition on external signal triggers a single acquisition for the programmed exposure time)\n

\nThe 4 modes correspond directly to the camserver \ncommands Exposure, ExtEnable, ExtTrigger, and ExtMTrigger respectively.\n
MXparameters false false Scalar READ Tango::DEV_STRING OPERATOR The crystallographic parameters in the image header.\nPossible parameter names are:\nWavelength, Energy_range, Detector_distance, ... (see\nPilatus manual for a complete list).
UseRamDisk false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_BOOLEAN OPERATOR When true, will force image file to be written to /ramdisk.\nTherefore, attribute FileDir will be ignored.
FileDir false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_STRING OPERATOR Path to the dector image files.
FilePrefix false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_STRING OPERATOR The prefix of the image files to be created.\nThe full image file name will be composed as\n
\nprefix_number.postfix \n
\nwhen acquiring images.
FileStartNum false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_LONG OPERATOR The file number used when taking an image.\n
\nWhen taking more than one frame, the detector creates\nthe file numbers automatically from this number onwards.\n

\nWhen saving multiple images (NImages>1) camserver has its own rules for \ncreating the names of the individual files.\nThe following examples shows the interpretation of the basename.\n

\nBasename - Files produced\n
\ntest6.tif - test6_00000.tif, test6_00001.tif, ...\n
\ntest6_.tif - test6_00000.tif, test6_00001.tif, ...\n
\ntest6_00008.tif - test6_00008.tif, test6_00009.tif, ...\n
\ntest6_2_00035.tif - test6_2_00035.tif, test6_2_00036.tif, ...\n

\nThe numbers following the last `_` are taken as a format template, \nand as a start value. \nThe format is also constrained by the requested number of images.
FilePostfix false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_STRING OPERATOR The Pilatus detector allows the following postfix:\n
\n.tif, .edf, .img, .cbf\n
\nThe postfix determines the image format for the saved\nimage files.\n

\nThe camserver uses the file extension to determine what format to save \nthe files in.\n
LastImageTaken false false Scalar READ Tango::DEV_STRING OPERATOR The name of the last image file written.
Energy false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_LONG OPERATOR Simplified method to set gain and threshold for the\ndetector.\nThe threshold will be set to half the photon energy.\nThe detecor loads the corresponding trim files\nwhen changing the energy.\nModifying the detector setting will take several\nseconds.
Threshold false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_LONG OPERATOR The threshold energy for the detector.\nThe detecor loads the corresponding trim files\nwhen changing the energy threshold.\nThe threshold energy will always be set together with the gain.\nModifying the detector setting will take several\nseconds.
Gain false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_SHORT OPERATOR The gain controls the value of Vrf, which determines the shaping time and gain of\nthe input amplifiers.\nThe allowed gain values for the Pilatus detector are:\n\n 0 = lowG = Fastest shaping time (~125ns) and lowest gain.\n\n 1 = midG = Medium shaping time (~200ns) and medium gain.\n \n 2 = highG = Slow shaping time (~400ns) and high gain.\n \n 3 = uhighG = Slowest peaking time and highest gain.\nThe gain will always be set together with the threshold energy.\nModifying the detector setting will take several\nseconds.
RoI false false Scalar READ_WRITE Tango::DEV_STRING OPERATOR 0 -- full detector (default)\nC2 -- central 2 modules in 2M, 6M or 12M format\nC12 -- central 12 modules in 2M format\nC18 -- central 18 modules in 6M or 12M format\nL1 -- left central module in 1M format\nL3 -- left central 3 modules in 1M format\nR1 -- right central module in 1M format\nR3 -- right central 3 modules in 1M format
LastImagePath false false Scalar READ Tango::DEV_STRING OPERATOR The last path where an image was written.
