For some pieces of data one needs to specify data "address" which identifies (maybe partially) particular DAQ device which produced the data. This is needed because the instrument setup may include multiple devices producing the same data type. The DAQ defines a type which serves as a most specific device identification, the type is xtc.DetInfo in package pypdsdata. One can pass this DetInfo instance to a method which accepts device address to select that specific device. DetInfo object contains four essential pieces of information:

  • detector – one of the DetInfo.Detector.* values
  • detId – ID number selecting one of multiple detectors
  • device – one of the DetInfo.Device.* values
  • devId – ID number selecting one of multiple devices
