Attributes:

Name Description
StartPixelScalar: DevLong Starting pixel for data read out, min. value 0.
StopPixelScalar: DevLong End pixel for data readout, max. value NumberOfPixels -1
IntegrationTimeScalar: DevDouble Integration time in milliseconds
TriggerModeScalar: DevLong Trigger mode: 0 = Software, 1 = Hardware, 2 = Single Scan
TriggerSourceScalar: DevLong Trigger Source: 0 = external trigger, 1 = sync input
TriggerSourceTypeScalar: DevLong Trigger source type: 0 = edge trigger, 1 = level trigger
FileDirScalar: DevString directory path to store spectra files in - the directory must exist - the server will check if the user running the server has write permissions for this directory, if not, the device will go to state fault / throw an exception - the attribute is memorized (last written value stored in tango db and read from there at server startup)
FilePrefixScalar: DevString String prefixed to file names (memorized attribute). Only supported format is hdf5, files will have extension `h5`.
FileStartNumScalar: DevULong Start number for files: - incremented after every file - range 0 - 999999
FileSavingScalar: DevBoolean if set to true, acquired spectra will be saved to files. Can be set / reset during acquisition.
DarkSpectrumFileScalar: DevString Absolute pathname of the h5 file containing the dark spectrum correction data (cf. command GetDarkSpectrum). The file has to exist and has to be readable by the owner of the server process. If the attribute is an empty string, a buffer with all elements set to 0 will be used for data correction.
BrightSpectrumFileScalar: DevString Absolute pathname of the h5 file containing the bright spectrum correction data (cf. command GetBrightSpectrum). The file has to exist and has to be readable by the owner of the server process. If the attribute is an empty string, a buffer with all elements set to 1 will be used for data correction.
LastWrittenFileScalar: DevString Absolute pathname of the last successfully written file.
SpectraWrittenScalar: DevULong Number of spectra successfully written to files (is reset at file open).
SpectraPerFileScalar: DevULong Max. number of spectra written to one file. A new file will be created whenever this value is surpassed. 0 means all frames go into one file.
SpectraToWriteScalar: DevULong Number of spectra to write to files(s). After this many spectra were written file saving will stop.
NumberOfPixelsScalar: DevLong The max. number of pixels which can be read from this device.

Commands:

Name Description
StateInput: DevVoid
Output: State
Device state
This command gets the device state (stored in its device_state data member) and returns it to the caller.
StatusInput: DevVoid
Output: ConstDevString
Device status
This command gets the device status (stored in its device_status data member) and returns it to the caller.
StartAcquisitionInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid
StopAcquisitionInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid
GetDarkSpectrumInput: DevString
Output: DevVoid
Read dark spectrum and store it in file given as input argument. Data from the file will be read and used immediately, the file name will be written to attribute DarkSpectrumFile. Set StartPixel/StopPixel to their min./max. values before calling this command (StartPixel = 0, StopPixel = NumberOfPixels - 1).
GetBrightSpectrumInput: DevString
Output: DevVoid
Read bright spectrum and store it in file given as input argument. Data from the file will be read and used immediately, the file name will be written to attribute BrightSpectrumFile. Set StartPixel/StopPixel to their min./max. values before calling this command (StartPixel = 0, StopPixel = NumberOfPixels - 1).
