A quick walk-through of the tools that exist for analysis of xtc files with python.
The main focus is on pyana, and the examples are from and for XPP primarily,
but may be useful examples to other experiments too.

...

Like the other frameworks, pyana is an executable that loops through the XTC file and calls all
requested user modules at certain transitions. All the analysts need to do is to fill in the
relevant functions in their user analysis module:unmigrated-inline-wiki-markup

Open an editor and save the following in a file named pyana.cfg:

Code Block
none
none
[pyana]

modules = pyana_examples.xppt_delayscan

[pyana_examples.xppt_delayscan]
controlpv = fs2:ramp_angsft_target
ipimb_norm = XppSb3Ipm-1|Ipimb-0
ipimb_sig = XppSb3Pim-1|Ipimb-0
threshold = 0.1
outputfile = point_scan_delay.npy

If you look at the code (pyana_examples/src/xppt_delayscan.py) you'll notice there are no detector names in there. The names of the detectors in the XTC file are passed as parameters from the configuration file above. The ipimb_norm parameter represents the IPIMB diode used for normalization, and the configuration files set its value to "XppSb3Ipm-1|Ipimb-0" (a.k.a. IPM3). Similarly, the IPIMB diode used for signal is represented by the pipmb_sig and its value set to "XppSb3Pim-1|Ipimb-0" (a.k.a. PIM3). By changing these parameter values, the pyana_examples/src/xppt_delayscan.py module can easily be used for other experiments or instruments.

  • Fetching the ControlPV information:
    ControlPV is available from the env object, and since it only changes at the beginning
    of each calibration cycle, the begincalibcycle function is the appropriate place to get it:
    Code Block
    none
    none
        def begincalibcycle( self, evt, env ) :
    

    The ControlConfig object may contain several pvControl and pvMonitor objects. In this case
    there's only one, but make sure the name matches anyway:
    Code Block
    none
    none
            ctrl_config = env.getConfig(TypeId.Type.Id_ControlConfig)
    
            for ic in range (0, ctrl_config.npvControls() ):
                cpv = ctrl_config.pvControl(ic)
                if cpv.name()=="fs2:ramp_angsft_target":
    
                    # store the value in a class variable (visible in every class method)
                    self.current_pv_value = cpv.value() )
    
  • Fetching the IPIMB and PhaseCavity information:
    All the other information that we need, is available through the evt object, and
    event member function is the place to get it:
    Code Block
    none
    none
        def event( self, evt, env ) :
    

    Use "XppSb3Ipm-1|Ipimb-0" (a.k.a. IPM3) sum of all channels for normalization and filtering
    Code Block
    none
    none
            ipmN_raw = evt.get(TypeId.Type.Id_IpimbData, "XppSb3Ipm-1|Ipimb-0")
            ipmN_fex = evt.get(TypeId.Type.Id_IpmFex, "XppSb3Ipm-1|Ipimb-0")
    
            ipmN_norm = ipmN_fex.sum
    

    Use "XppSb3Pim-1|Ipimb-0" (a.k.a. PIM3) channel 1 as signal
    Code Block
    none
    none
            ipmS_raw = evt.get(TypeId.Type.Id_IpimbData, "XppSb3Pim-1|Ipimb-0" )
            ipmS_fex = evt.get(TypeId.Type.Id_IpmFex, "XppSb3Pim-1|Ipimb-0" )
    
            ipm_sig = ipmS_fex.channel[1]
    

    Get the phase cavity:
    Code Block
    none
    none
            pc = evt.getPhaseCavity()
            phasecav1 = pc.fFitTime1
            phasecav2 = pc.fFitTime2
            charge1 = pc.fCharge1
            charge2 = pc.fCharge2
    

    Compute delay time and fill histograms
    Code Block
    none
    none
            delaytime = self.current_pv_value + phasecav1*1e3
    
            # The "histograms" are nothing but python lists. Append to them, and turn them into arrays at the end.
            self.h_ipm_rsig.append( ipm_sig )
            self.h_ipm_nsig.append( ipm_sig/ipm_norm )
