A Mythen detector is introduced to Online by the following entry in /online_dir/online.xml:
<hw>
...
<device>
<name>mythen</name>
<type>type_tango</type>
<module>module_tango</module>
<device>pXX/mythen/exp.01</device>
<control>tango</control>
<hostname>hasppXX:10000</hostname>
</device>
...
</hw>
It can be operated as a virtual counter:
if( $method =~ /reset/i)
{
Spectra::mythen_start( "mythen", $Spectra::SYM{ scan_name}, $Spectra::SYM{ sample_time}, $Spectra::SYM{ sindex});
return 1;
}
if( $method =~ /read/i)
{
while( Spectra::tng_state( "mythen"))
{
Util::log( "waiting for Mythen");
Spectra::wait( 0.1);
}
return 1
}
Note that the online -tki manual shows how parameters of this detector can be set by a beamline-specific-code widget.
