Taking an IMAGE with the Rayonix (with or without beam) (9/5/2023):

Make sure beam is ON (assuming you're looking at xray pulses with capxure).
logon to the rayonix machine from mfx-daq
ssh hsuser@con-ics-mfx-rayonix (password is "hsuser" if needed)
>killall procServ (this will kill the connection to the lcls daq)
>capxure
goto "Single Frame Collection" tab
Set Trigger to "None" (if you don't do this, capxure may hang if you try to take frames). Set Exposure mode to "Normal".
Change the exposure time to what you want.
Change to your operating binning mode, and hit "Single". The terminal where you started Capxure should tell you the name of the image that was saved.
kill capxure (yes, it sometimes seg faults when you exit)
cd ~/slac/, and do:
./startDaqInterface_newcraydl
On mfx-daq, set DAQ evr to run at 30Hz (if 4x4). Or use a sequencer if you're doing something fancy.
Run

Taking a DARK with the Rayonix (8/20/2023):

Make sure beam is off.
logon to the rayonix machine from mfx-daq
ssh hsuser@con-ics-mfx-rayonix (password is "hsuser" if needed)
>killall procServ (this will kill the connection to the lcls daq)
>capxure
goto "Single Frame Collection" tab
Set Trigger to "None" (if you don't do this, capxure may hang if you try to take frames). Set Exposure mode to "Dark".
Change to your operating binning mode, and hit "Collect New Background"
kill capxure (yes, it sometimes seg faults when you exit)
cd ~/slac/, and do:
./startDaqInterface_newcraydl
On mfx-daq, set DAQ evr to run at 30Hz (if 4x4). Or use a sequencer if you're doing something fancy.
Run

logon to the rayonix machine from mfx-daq
ssh hsuser@con-ics-mfx-rayonix (password is hsuser)
kill the capxure process (assuming it's running. ps -auwx |grep capxure). If there's no capxure process running, don't worry about it.
killall procServ (this kills any startDaqInterface_newcraydl processes that maybe running)
cd ~/slac/, and do:
./startDaqInterface_newcraydl
Set DAQ evr to run at 30Hz.
In EVR, The Rayonix pulse delay should be 0.006, and the pulse width should be 0.0005. Without these settings, you might see distorted images.
Run
