Multi-element systemsΒΆ

Multi-element detector (MED) systems use an EPICS State Notation Language (SNL) program to synchronize and copy PVs.

These are the records for multi-element detector systems. They are contained in danteMED.template.

EPICS record names Record type Description
SNLConnected bi Indicates whether or not the SNL program is running.
DeadTime ai The average deadtime of all the enabled boards.
IDeadTime ai The average instantaneous deadtime of all the enabled boards.
Copy[XXX] bo Copies the setting XXX from board 0 to all other enabled boards. XXX can be any of the configuration parameters described above, for example Gain, AnalogOffset, etc. XXX can also be the definition of the ROIs for the MCA records. In this case the copy can be either by MCA channel number, or by x-ray energy, using the calibration coefficients in the MCA record.
