In LCLS-II calibration constants resides in the data bases. Access to the DB can be done through python API, CLI, and GUI. At regular deployment calibration constants goes in two databases designated for experiment and for detector. In regular request for calibration constants experimental DB is addressed first, then if constants not found, the detector DB is included in search. These features are sufficient for regular operations with detectors.

Calibration DB names
Calibration constantconstants on MongoDB server are grouped in databases identified by their names
...
Constants can be deployed with commands cdb and epix10ka_deploy_constants, see for detail in psana environment:
- cdb -hcdb add <parameters> ...
- epix10ka_deploy_constants <parameters>...-h
for example
- cdb add -e rixx45619 -d epixhr2x2_000001 -t 2021-10-01T00:00:00-0800 -c pedestals -f mypeds
- cdb add -e rixx45619 -d epixhr2x2_000001 -t 2021-10-01T00:00:00-0800 -c geometry -f mygeo -i txt
- epix10ka_deploy_constants -e rixx45619 -d epixhr -r121 -D
Use constants
Example script to get calibrated data
DB management tool
Browsing and management of constants in calibration DB can be done with command
launching multipurpose GUI application.
Get corrected data
Example of script to get raw and corrected data in psana environment:
Code Block |
---|
from psana import DataSource
|
Code Block |
ds = DataSource(exp='rixx45619', run=121) det = run.Detector('epixhr') raw = det.raw.raw(evt) arr = det.raw.calib(evt) img = det.raw.image(evt) |
Direct access to calibration constants
For details see Area Detector Interface - Calibration Constants
All detector calibration constants (np.array) and associated metadata (dict) are available through the dictionary det.calibconst with calibration type as a key. For example,
|
Possible calibration types: pedestals, pixel_status, pixel_rms, pixel_gain, pixel_mask,
etc.
