Tango Server Configuration

Sardana: in order to store files using our default path conventions, the attributes FileStartNum, SaveFilePath and FilePrefix should be set by a pre_scan hook. See the Spock manual for an example ( Scans-Hooks-GeneralHooks-ExampleForA...).

Important Tango server attributes:

• ShutterTime: time per image in msecs, 1000

• FrameNumbers: no. of images to take, 1

• EnergyThreshold, unit: eV, half the beam energy

• SaveFilePath: the directory where the data are stored, set by the pre_scan hook.

• FilePrefix: set by the pre_scan hook.

• SaveAllImages: True to enable image saving

• OperatingMode:
  • ContinuousReadWrite: 12 bit counter depth, no time gap between images
  • TwentyFourBit: 24 bit counter depth, 1ms delay between images

• TriggerMode
  • 0: no trigger
  • 1: trigger starts image series
  • 2: trigger starts a single image
