Objectives
This module introduces the RTBSA GUI. After completing this module, an operator should be able to:
- Plot and interpret a signal vs. time
- Plot and interpret two signals against each other
- Plot and interpret the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) of a signal
- Tune a signal using the plots (either visually or using linear/polynomial fit)
- Use the standard deviation filter
Introduction
Beam Synchronous Process Variables (PVs) are signals that are tied to the beam pulse that generated them. RTBSA uses this feature to build a pulse by pulse "picture" of the beam so that we can see correlations between signals that would otherwise be hidden.
How it Works
What does it mean to be tagged to a pulse?
Say that we have a train of pulses with pulse IDs 1 through 10:
[pulse 1] [pulse 2] [pulse 3] [pulse 4] [pulse 5] [pulse 6] [pulse 7] [pulse 8] [pulse 9] [pulse 10]
And say that we have a BPM (beam position monitor) somewhere watching them go by.
This is about RTBSA
