Roper Scientific Quadro

The following description was written by Michael Sprung, P10:

 
file name: roper_installation_instructions.txt 

This file tries to describe how to incorporate the Quadro CCD
from Roper Scientific into Online.

1) Install the TANGO Server for the Camera (CCDPVCAM)

2) Update the 'online.xml' file to introduce the new device:

<!-- Roseker Roper Scientific --> 
<!-- -->
<device>
 <name>roper</name> 
 <type>type_tango</type> 
 <module>module_tango</module>
 <device>p10/xxx/yyy</device> 
 <control>tango</control> 
 <hostname>haspp10opt:10000</hostname>
</device>
<!-- -->
<!-- end of Roseker Roper Scientific -->
3) Create an Online widget for the roper camera by adding the code included
in the file 'Roper_online_tkirc_code.txt' to your TkIrc.pl file
(in the /online_dir/)

4) Update the 'exp_ini.exp' file to activate the camera macros:

! ==========================================================
! --- Roper Scientific 'Quadro' macros
! ==========================================================
roperoff           = "run <beamline.macros.ccdmacros.roseker>roperoff.gra"
roperon            = "run <beamline.macros.ccdmacros.roseker>roperon.gra"
ropersetup         = "run <beamline.macros.ccdmacros.roseker>ropersetup_p10.pl"
roperseries        = "run <beamline.macros.ccdmacros.roseker>roperseries_p10.pl"
ropertake          = "run <beamline.macros.ccdmacros.roseker>ropertake_p10.pl"
roperascan         = "run <beamline.macros.ccdmacros.roseker>roperascan_p10.pl"
roperdscan         = "run <beamline.macros.ccdmacros.roseker>roperdscan_p10.pl"
roperamesh         = "run <beamline.macros.ccdmacros.roseker>roperamesh_p10.pl"


5) Edit the ascan, dscan, amesh and dmesh files and update the path to the macros 

6) The macros depend on 2 additionally activated Gra Scripts ('roperon' &
   'roperoff')

7) Use the 'SCAN' BNC output of the camera to operate your shutter system

The directory haspp10e2:/beamline/macros/ccdmacros/roseker contains the instructions and the utility scripts.
