Data for tests

On 2014-01-27 Sebastian Carron kindly provide us with data files for pnCCD experiment amoa1214:

  • Dark Run: 169, rear sensors gain 1/64, front 1/1, Imaging mode                                  exp=amoa1214:run=169
  • Run With Hits:  170  Low hit rate though, so you will have to use a hit finder of sorts   exp=amoa1214:run=170

Psana modules for pnCCD

Module ImgAlgos.PnccdNDArrProducer

  • Get from the event store Psana::PNCCD::FramesV1,
  • Put in the event store   ndarray<const T,3>, where shape=[4][512][512], T=uint16_t, int, float, double, int16_t

Performance: ~13 ms/event

Modified module ImgAlgos.PnccdImageProducer

  • Get  from the event store Psana::PNCCD::FullFrameV1 or ndarray<const T,3> or ndarray<const T,3>
    for source and key parameters
  • Put in the event store   ndarray<const T,2>, where shape=[1024+gap][1024], T= input type

Performance: ~30 ms/event (copy involves inverse iteration for 180 degree rotation of two bottom frames)

Common mode correction in pnCCD ndarray

pnCCD image has intensity "strips" in both dimensions;

[4][512][512] array for single event and averaged over 1000 events:

Image AddedImage Added

At large number of events common mode should be averaged out. For 1000 events horizontal intensity "stripes" have gone.

This proves that common mode should be evaluated for horizontal stripes.

Due to specifics of pnCCD DAQ readout, it is recommended to evaluate common mode for consecutive groups of 128 pixel in the  [4][512][512] array.

Calibration of pnCCD

New modules for "old-style" calibration:

  • pdscalibdata/include/PnccdBaseV1.h                   - baseclass for pnCCD parameters, defines Segs, Rows, Cols, Size
  • pdscalibdata/include/PnccdPedestalsV1.h            - loads pedestals from file, returns ndarray of pedestals
  • pdscalibdata/include/PnccdCommonModeV1.h     - the same for common mode
  • pdscalibdata/include/PnccdPixelGainV1.h             - the same for pixel gain
  • pdscalibdata/include/PnccdPixelRmsV1.h             - the same for pixel rms
  • pdscalibdata/include/PnccdPixelStatusV1.h          - the same for pixel status
  • PSCalib::PnccdCalibPars                                      - wrapper for all pnCCD types

 Support of pnCCD in Calibration Manager

In dark run processing in  Calibration Manager produces pedestals and pixel_rms. Then, if thresholds on rms and averaged intensity are set correctly, the pixel_status can be also produced and deployed under the calib directory.  Calibration manager works with arrays of shape=[4,512,512]. Embedded ROI Mask Editor can be used to generate the ROI mask for pnCCD.

Image of pnCCD

pnCCD image can be reconstructed from data by two methods using

  1. Module ImgAlgos::PnccdImageProducer and
  2. Module ImgAlgos::NDArrImageProducer

Examples of the first method are available in psana - Module Examples

Second method is available since release ana-0.13.14 (package PSCalib V00-02-40).

It allows to reconstruct image using generic Detector Geometry technique with geometry file. Current version of pnCCD has a solid structure without moving parts, hence the main part of the geometry file is unchanged. Example of the geometry file for pnCCD can be found in /reg/g/psdm/detector/alignment/pnccd/amo-pnccd.1-2015-01-23/calib/PNCCD::CalibV1/Camp.0:pnCCD.1/geometry/0-end.data, which essential part is

The last commented line in this file can be un-commented in order to rotate and translate detector relative to IP.

Note

  • The name of the segment PNCCD:V1 should be unchanged. Other names DETPNCCD:V1 and IP:V1 are optional.
  • Four segment coordinates are given in µm and it is assumed that each segment has 512x512 pixels of size 75x75µm².
  • All coordinates are given in matrix-like frame, where X axis goes from top to bottom, Y - from left to right.
  • Gap is set to 16 pixels and may be a subject of calibration.

Pros

  • Simple format for calibration files - just a text file with pre-defined number of values for each type:
Code Block
973.941639 881.189675 1050.211 773.263749 899.241302 981.805836 1150.72615 993.084175 1121.15488 1029.76319 1220.14927 903.278339 1097.49944 1066.94949 1263.71044 1053.53872 1194.35915 935.320988 1317 ...

Cons

  • Too simple calibration file format, does not allow any metadata or comments.
  • Detector-dependent objects and parameters "knows" about parameters' array type and shape:
    • PSCalib::PnccdCalibPars which depends on PnccdPedestalsV1, PnccdCommonModeV1, ..., PnccdBaseV1
    • pdscalibdata::PnccdPedestalsV1::pars_t      = float
      pdscalibdata::PnccdCommonModeV1::pars_t     = uint16_t 
      pdscalibdata::PnccdPixelStatusV1::pars_t    = uint16_t
      pdscalibdata::PnccdPixelGainV1::pars_t      = float
    • const std::string groupName = "PNCCD::CalibV1";       - do we really need it ?   

Detector-independent interface

  • Interface is declared in the abstract base class PSCalib::CalibPars
  • Access to all detector-dependent classes is hidden in the static factory class PSCalib::CalibParsStore
Note

Factory is implemented for pnCCD only. CSPAD and CSPAD2x2 will be added soon.

Code Block
#include "PSCalib/CalibPars.h"
#include "PSCalib/CalibParsStore.h"

// Instatiation
//Here we assume that code is working inside psana module where evt and env variables are defined through input parameters of call-back methods.
//Code below instateates calibpars object using factory static method PSCalib::CalibParsStore::Create:

std::string calib_dir = env.calibDir(); // or "/reg/d/psdm/<INS>/<experiment>/calib"
std::string  group = std::string(); // or something like "PNCCD::CalibV1";
const std::string source = "Camp.0:pnCCD.1";
const std::string key = ""; // key for raw data
Pds::Src src; env.get(source, key, &src);
PSCalib::CalibPars* calibpars = PSCalib::CalibParsStore::Create(calib_dir, group, src, PSCalib::getRunNumber(evt));

// Access methods
calibpars->printCalibPars();
const PSCalib::CalibPars::pedestals_t*    peds_data = calibpars->pedestals();
const PSCalib::CalibPars::pixel_gain_t*   gain_data = calibpars->pixel_gain();
const PSCalib::CalibPars::pixel_rms_t*    rms_data  = calibpars->pixel_rms();
const PSCalib::CalibPars::pixel_status_t* stat_data = calibpars->pixel_status();
const PSCalib::CalibPars::common_mode_t*  cmod_data = calibpars->common_mode();

 

New approach to calibration files with header

In order to get rid of detector dependent types of calibration parameters we need to add metadata in the calibration file. All metadata can be listed in the header of the calibration files, for example, using keyward mapping (dictionary):

Code Block
# RULES:
# Lines starting with # in the beginning of the file are considered as comments or pseudo-comments for metadata
# Lines without # with space-separated values are used for input of parameters
# Empty lines are ignored

# Optional fields:
# TITLE:      This is a file with pedestals
# DATE_TIME:  2014-01-30 10:21:23
# AUTHOR:     someone
# EXPERIMENT: amotut13
# DETECTOR:   Camp.0:pnCCD.1
# CALIB_TYPE: pedestals

# Mandatory fields to define the ndarray<TYPE,NDIMS> and its shape as unsigned shape[NDIMS] = {DIM1,DIM2,DIM3}
# TYPE:       float
# NDIMS:      3
# DIM1:       4
# DIM2:       255
# DIM3:       255

973.941639 881.189675 1050.211 773.263749 899.241302 981.805836 1150.72615 993.084175 1121.15488 1029.76319 1220.14927 903.278339 1097.49944 1066.94949 1263.71044 1053.53872 1194.35915 935.320988 1317 ...

 

psana modules for pnCCD

New module ImgAlgos.PnccdNDArrProducer

  • Get from the event store Psana::PNCCD::FramesV1,
  • Put in the event store   ndarray<T,3>, where shape=[4][512][512], T=uint16_t, int, float, double, int16_t

Performance: ~13 ms/event

Modified module ImgAlgos.PnccdImageProducer

  • Get  from the event store Psana::PNCCD::FullFrameV1 or ndarray<T,3> for source and key parameters
  • Put in the event store   ndarray<T,2>, where shape=[1024+gap][1024], T= input type

Performance: ~30 ms/event (copy involves inverse iteration for 180 degree rotation of two bottom frames)

Old sequence of image averaging

          ImgAlgos.PnccdImageProducer - get Psana::PNCCD::FullFrameV1, put  ndarray<uint16_t, 2>
          ImgAlgos.NDArrAverage            - averages ndarray<T, 2>, save in file

"Natural order" for common mode correction in pnCCD ndarray

pnCCD image has intensity "strips" in both dimensions;

[4][512][512] array for single event and averaged over 1000 events:

Image RemovedImage Removed

At large number of events common mode should be averaged out. For 1000 events horizontal intensity "stripes" have gone.

This proves that common mode should be evaluated for horizontal stripes.

uses psana modules

  • ImgAlgos.PnccdNDArrProducer  - gets pnCCD data and put it as ndarray in the event store
  • ImgAlgos.NDArrCalib - applys calibrations to ndarray
  • ImgAlgos.NDArrImageProducer - produces calibrated image
  • ImgAlgos.NDArrAverage:nda - averages calibrated ndarray
  • ImgAlgos.NDArrAverage:img-geo - averages calibratedimage

This script can be executed by the command

Code Block
psana -c psana-amoa1214-r0108-pnccd-NDArrImageProducer.cfg

which saves averaged and RMS files for calibrated ndarray and image, which can be plotted by the command plims <file-name>. For eample

Code Block
plims pnccd-nda-ave-amoa1214-r0108.dat
plims pnccd-img-geo-ave-amoa1214-r0108.dat

plot images with intensity distributions for ndarray and image, respectively:

Image AddedImage Added

Masks and other calibration files for pnCCD and image can be generated with calibman.
