Purpose
- short-term goal - support in a single place calibration data for detectors moving across LCLS experiments.
- perspective goal long-term goal - calibration store for LCLS-II.
It is assumed that hardware Hardware configuration of modern detectors will detector can be associated with configuration index coming from DAQunique index hardwired on detector controller chip. This index will be used to recognize detector and extract hardly retrievable calibration data such as parameters for geometry, gain factors, masks etc. in case of transition of the detector from one experiment to another.
Architecture
Requirements
- instrument Instrument / Experiment independent - detector can be moved between instruments and hatches
- experiment independent - detector can be moved between experiments
- experiments, hatches, and instruments.
- Portability portability - calibration data for particular detector should be portable as a self consistent file
- combination of FS & DB files (hdf5 for uniformity)
- or (part of) calibration directory.
- Interfaces - API, Command Line (CL), GUI for central management; management can ONLY be done through the API/CL/GUI management model - calibration data should be managed through API only in order to prevent adding/removing unknown files without history
- API + GUI for central management
- deployment can ONLY be done through the API/GUI.
- time Time stamp (sec) - is THE ONLY value for validity range check; the same rules are applied to the time stamp like to the run number in current calibration system.
- <detname> is equivalent to File name - the <detname> in the calibration store is <dettype>-<detid> and is THE ONLY choice for the official file name. This name is mapped from other aliases.
Location of calibration directory and files
Default calibration directory in LCLS FS
instrument and experiment-independent path
- /reg/g/psdm/detector/calib
in contrast to the current instrument and experiment-dependent path
- /reg/d/psdm/<INS>/<experiment>/calib
In local space
define calib path
- <path>/calib/
assuming further structure of the calibration directory <dettype>/<dettype>-<detid>.h5
or use detector calibration file directly
- <path>/<dettype>-<detid>.h5
Structure of calibration directory
Everything in lower case:

<path>/calib/

cspad/
aliases # file with a map of aliases to detector names
<calib-files>
<dettype>-<detid>.h5
<dettype>-<detid>.h5 |
Detector type <dettype> is used as a folder to organize files under the calib directory. In case of direct access to the hdf5 file the detector type is duplicated in the name of the file. Unique part of the detector name <detid> is used to assign calibration file to the particular detector version. If the detector is changing the new calibration file is created with new <detid>. Information about predecessor and successor (if available) can be saved under the root level of the calibration file. Current sources (ex: 'Camp.0:pnCCD.1' ) should be presented in the dictionary of aliases.
Calibration data hierarchical scheme
Access to calibration data is based on time stamp. Time stamp internally is presented in Unix time sec which can be easily converted forth and back to human readable format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+HH:MM
The scheme of the calibration data, which presumably will be implemented in <dettype>-<detid>.h5
- .
- Aliases to the calibration file names and specific data can be used to simplify access.
- Versions - support versions of calibration data.
- Links to predecessor and successor - support access to predecessor and successor if this info is available.
Architecture
To accommodate requirements Detector Calibration Store (DCS) suppose to be implemented as a combination of file system (FS) and data base (DB) files (hdf5 for uniformity). Functionality of the DCS from bottom to top level can be listed as follows.
- All calibration constants for particular detector id (
detid
- index of the detector version) will be kept in a single hdf5 file named as<dettype>-<detid>.h5
- Schema of this file contains a few levels which account for constant types, time stamp ranges, versions of constants.
- Beside main functionality each level contains dictionary of parameters and dictionary of history records.
- These files are grouped in the directory for detector type; ex.:
cspad, cspad2x2, pnccd
, etc.- The same directory contains files with aliases
<aliases1>.als
which map human readable detector name-and-version with appropriate<dettype>-<detid>.h5
file.
- The same directory contains files with aliases
- All detector type folders in regular case are collected under
calib
directory, although it is assumed that calibration files can be used directly. - The
calib
directory may be nested in three locations;- repository - experiment-independent space with FS back-up, contains most complete calibration files in terms of time stamp and versions,
- experimental work-space - experiment-dependent space, contains squeezed version of calibration files with time stamp and versions essential for particular experiment,
- local work-space - experiment-independent any local directory, with squeezed files similar to experimental work-space.
The repository and experimental works-pace have predictable location in the file system, local work-space may have an arbitrary path. Direct file access pick up calibration file from any place.
- Two-levels of interaction with DCS:
- interaction with calibration data in particular calibration file,
- add/get/remove constants for type, time stamp, version, etc.
- add/remove/edit metadata.
- data exchange between files between repository, experimental and local work-spaces.
- file difference
- transfer constants for type, time stamp, version, etc.
- use web-service mechanism
- interaction with calibration data in particular calibration file,
- Access Control Lists (ACL) depends on file location and is assumed to be
- repository - limited to dedicated persons
- experimental work-spaces - members of experimental group
- local work-spaces - all
Calibration directory and files

Scheme features
- Detector name consists of a common part <dettype> and unique part <detid>.
- Alias to the detector name should be kept in separate dictionary outside the scheme.
- Each detector may have optional predecessor, successor, and other tags in the dictionary.
- Calibration type folders contain info about calibrations of particular type, ex: pedestals, rms, status, mask, background, etc.
- Each calibration type contains a set of time stamp ranges defining calibration validity range. If the second time stamp of the range is missing it is considered as infinity (by the end).
- The time stamp range folder contains tstamp_begin, tstamp_end (int) values, dictionary of tags associated with this folder, reference to the default calibration, and folders with calibration versions, distinguished by there production time stamp.
- The number of calibration versions for each time stamp range is not limited. Default calibration is defined by the reference default_version.
