Metrology

Metrology tool processes xlsx files from opitcal measurements, produces calibration constants of types geometry, center and tilt, and deploy them in calibration directory.

xlsx files are human-made, so, one has to be careful and check that the text file, produced in auto-conversion by command #2 has correct format.

Alignment

...

Image Added

Alignment tool works with geometry files, produced in Metrology tool and allows to tune quad or other sensor positions in the detector, using image with real objects (rings, shadows, etc).

More details about this tool can be found in Detector Alignment Tool.

Configuration

Configuration tool has its own tab bar switching between panels with sets of parameters.

...

• Dir work button - launch directory selection window for work directory. Selected directory shows up in the next right information field.
• Dir results button - launch directory selection window for results directory. Selected directory shows up in the next right information field. This directory is not currently in use.
• File prefix editable field - sets common prefix of all files created in the work directory, excluding the log file.
• Queue combo box - sets the queue name for batch jobs from available list containing psnehq, psfehq, etc. 
• Event start/end editable fields - set the first and last event in current run for calibration processing job.
• Threshold RMS, ADU (editable field) - sets the threshold on RMS in ADU (Analog to Digit Units) for hot pixel mask. If RMS for pixel exceeds this threshold - pixel is marked as hot in the hot pixel mask file. "Zero" is a special value, indicating that no pixels will be flagged as hot pixels because of noise.
• Threshold MIN/MAX (editable fields) - if a pixel's pedestal is outside the MIN/MAX range it will be flagged in the hot pixel mask file.
• Deploy hotpix mask check box - if checked - hotpixel mask file will be deployed along with pedestal file at click on Deploy button in the List of run items.

First session

No matter what tool tab No matter what tool tab is opening by default in the first session, it would be better to make sure that configuration parameters are set correctly. To do that click on tab Configuration, which opens Configuration Settings panel,  then click on tab Parameters. Most parameters can be used with default values, but it is important to check, that

Command line interface for dark-run calibration of detectors is implemented by P.O.C.s request. It can be started by the command calibrun with parameters.  The list of parameters can be dumped on terminal by the command:

...

Usage:   calibrun [options] args
Example: calibrun -e xppi0613 -d CSPAD,OPAL1000 -c ./calib -P -D -r 173

calibrun - command line calibration utility

                        "calibman"

...

By default the calibrun command produces quite extensive output on terminal which in most cases is sufficient to figure out what is going on.  If the print-control option (-p  0) is provided, the major output will be suppressed and only begin, end of job comments, and warning messages will be printed. Most complete output can be found in the session  log file auto-saved in the work directory with relevant time stamp in the name, for example: ./work/2014-04-16-16:43:52-log.txt

GUI-based calibration manager calibman has the name, for example: ./work/2014-04-16-16:43:52-log.txt

GUI-based calibration manager calibman has the same file name conventions and can always be used to inspect all output files and problems generated by the command line application  calibrun.

same file name conventions and can always be used to inspect all output files and problems generated by the command line application  calibrun.

How to run on ffb data

Command calibrun can work on ffb data using option -x <path-to-xtc>. This option sets non-standard path to xtc files. For example:

calibrun <options> -x /reg/d/ffb/cxi/cxi12345/xtc <more-options> 

The "live" mode is turning on automatically if the directory path has "ffb" sub-folder.
