Attributes:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| BiasSetpointScalar: DevDouble | Bias setpoint of the head in v. |
| HeadStateScalar: DevString | Head state. |
| SCAModeScalar: DevString | Mode of the SCA: INT or WIN |
| SCALowThScalar: DevDouble | Low level discriminator level. |
| SCAWinThScalar: DevDouble | Window width (only used in WIN mode). |
| RateWinScalar: DevDouble | Rate meter value in WIN mode. |
| RateIntScalar: DevDouble | Rate meter value in INT mode. |
| HVStateScalar: DevString | — |
| HeadTemperatureScalar: DevDouble | Temperature of the head. Range of measurement from 0 to 50 C with a resolution of 0.05 C. |
| HeadCurrentScalar: DevDouble | Current of bias voltage of the head. Range from 0 to 11 uA, with a resolution of 24nA. |
| CountingSourceScalar: DevString | Selects/Returns the current counting source: SCA or TRG |
| CountsScalar: DevLong | — |
| HeadVoltageScalar: DevDouble | Bias voltage of the head. Range from 0 to 655 V, with a resolution of 0.6V |
| CounterStatusScalar: DevString | — |
| ErrorInfoScalar: DevString | — |
| VersionScalar: DevString | Firmware version |
| SCAOutputScalar: DevLong | Read/set the SCA output parameter. \nThis parameter is the time shaping of the SCA output in ns. \nPossible values: 5, 10, 20 or 30. |
| ScanLowLimitScalar: DevDouble | Used as low limit for the scan, |
| ScanHighLimitScalar: DevDouble | Used as high limit for the scan. |
| ScanIntegrationTimeScalar: DevLong | Measuring time in the scan. |
| ScanModeScalar: DevString | Mode for the SCAN: INT or WIN |
| ScanWinScalar: DevDouble | Window used for scanning in window mode. |
| ScanStepSizeScalar: DevDouble | Step Size |

| ScanSpectrumSpectrum: DevLong | Output of the scan |
Commands:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| StateInput: DevVoid Output: State State Code |
This command gets the device state (stored in its <i>device_state</i> data member) and returns it to the caller. |
| StatusInput: DevVoid Output: ConstDevString Status description |
This command gets the device status (stored in its <i>device_status</i> data member) and returns it to the caller. |
| StartCounterInput: DevVarLongArray Counting time, number of repetitions Output: DevVoid |
Starts the counter using the internal time base. The counting time muss always be given (in us). The number of repetitions is optional (1 by default). |
| StartScanInput: DevVoid Output: DevVoid |
Start an scan in the threshold for integration mode measurements. It uses the attributes ScanLowLimit, ScanHighLimit, ScanNbSteps and ScanIntegrationTime |
| StopScanInput: DevVoid Output: DevVoid |
Stops the scan after finishing the current point. |

Properties:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| SocketDSDevString | Name of the Tango Device connecting via socket to the device |
| GpibDeviceNameDevString | Gpib device for connecting to the device |
| GpibAddressDevLong | GPIB primary device address. Only need if the communication is done via PrologixGpib. |
