What to do next

Before starting calibman

If terminal session was open long time ago, it is good idea to update credentials prior launching the calibman application:

kinit;
aklog;

First session

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

• correct queue

  Set correct queue which

  will be used for batch jobs

  : click on tabs: Configuration -> Parameters, select Queue combo box.

  . If necessary, change Queue in combo box.

• correct range of events is set for event processing.

• Threshold on rms is good for calibrated detector(s). Evaluation of this threshold requires in simple analysis which can be done after the 1st iteration on event averaging. Files containing averaged intensities and their rms values can be plotted as image and spectra. Spectrum of rms gives a rough idea of how to set this threshold. When threshold is set, second iteration on event averaging will produce correct mask-file for hot pixels, which rms exceeds the threshold.

How to calibrate / deploy files for dark correction

• Click on tab Dark.
• Set Instrument, Experiment, from combo boxes and click on Select button to select Detector(s) from pop-up window.
• Set filter for runs using combo boxes to the right from labels Show runs and for detectors.
• For runs in the table, which you want to calibrate, click on button Go, relax and wait until button Deploy show-up to the right from button. A few buttons Go can be clicked sequentially for different runs in order to run appropriate jobs in batch simultaneously.
• Change validity range if necessary, click on Deploy button.  If everything is ok, it is done!
