Perkin Elmer

These are the functions that operate the Perkin Elmer detector:

perkinElmer_startSubtracted( $devName, $fname, $sampleTime, $num)
perkinElmer_startDark( $devName, $fname, $sampleTime, $num)
The functions execute the following sequence:

• the attribute exposureTime is read
• the attribute FilesAfterTrigger is read
• the attribute SummedSaveImages is set: ceil( sampleTime/exposureTime/filesAfterTrigger)
• the attribute FilePattern is set: $fname
• the attribute FileIndex s set: $num;
• the command AcquireSubtractedImagesAndSave or AcquireDarkImagesAndSave is executed.

Virtual counters use the tng_state($devName) function to sense when the state turns to IDLE.

perkinElmer_singleShotSubtracted( $devName, $fname, $sampleTime, $num)
perkinElmer_singleShotDark( $devName, $fname, $sampleTime, $num)
The functions execute the following sequence:

• the corresponding start-function is executed
• the function waits for the state to become IDLE
