Motivation
Development of this application was stimulated by the discussion with Marcin Sikorski (meeting on 2012-08-30), doing xcs experiments.
Users need in real-time algorithm for calculation of image vs time auto-correlation function
g2(tau) = <I(t)*I(t+tau)> / (<I(t)> * <I(t+tau)>),
where I(t)
is an image intensity at time t
, and tau
is a delay between two measurements.
Typical experimental condition can be described as follows:
- Run duration is about one hour at frequency up to 120 Hz that gives up to 10^5-10^6 images.
- Currently typical imaging devise is a Princeton camera with 1300x1340 pixels.
- Need to calculate
g2(tau)
for each pixel, averaged over all possible image timest
with time differencetau
between images. - A set of
tau
should have about 30-100 points in log scale uniformly covering the run duration. - Use for example xcsi0112-r0015: 500 images with 8 sec delay between images.
Desired time for evaluation of the auto-correlation function should be comparable with run duration <1 hour. Currently this algorithm takes a few hours that can not be used for fast feedback in real time experiment.
In first approximation this problem was solved, as it is described in the [PCDS:Command Line Interface For Time Correlation Analysis]. However, in order to be useful, the command line algorithm needs to be integrated in the global analysis system, which de bene esse called as Integrated Analysis Environment for Time Correlation Experiments and is discussed in [PCDS:IDPE for TCE in XCS - Problems and tentative solutions].
Here is my comment
GUI Implementation
Updated on 2013-02-13
Three [versions of GUI] were implemented for this application. It was decided to use the GUIMainTB
layout, where:
- All input windows are integrated in one with tab-bar for switching and custom tool bar on the top
- Logger and File Browser windows are isolated
- All plots are isolated, although similar plots appear in the same windows.
Code location
Everything resides in CorAna
package, which is included in LCLS offline releases beginning from ana-0.7.16
.
Modules
Updated on 2012-12-10
Notations:
- is done (at least it is assumed for now...)
- needs more work
- test or deprecated modules
All module names beginning with letters GUI
implements different Graphical User Interfaces.

Status of the project

PSANA modules

Scaner
Runs in batch for the dark file to get preliminary information.
ImgAlgos.ImgTimeStampList
- counts number of events in the file
- makes file with time stamps
- evaluate time intervals between frames (for dark run)
Pedestals
Runs in batch for the dark file to get averaged pedestals.
ImgAlgos.PrincetonImageProducer

object

ImgAlgos.PrincetonImageProducer
ImgAlgos.ImgVsTimeSplitInFiles
ImgAlgos::ImgCalib
module is configured to:
- subtract pedestals obtained for dark run
- account for threshold (LLD) constant or in number of RMS
ImgAlgos::???
Intensity monitors
Process
Data processing is implemented in stand alone (non-psana) modules
ImgAlgos.CorAna.cpp
ImgAlgos.CorAnaInputParameters.cpp
ImgAlgos.CorAnaData.cpp
Merge
CorAnaMergeFiles.cpp
- saves binary file for float(32) with shape (Ntau,3,rows,cols), where 3 stands for <Ip>, <If>, and <Ip*If>
Can be acessed in python as
sp.cor_arr = np.fromfile(sp.fname, dtype=np.float32) <image-size> = rows * cols nptau = <file-size>/<image-size>/3 sp.cor_arr.shape = (nptau, 3, rows, cols)
GUI
The system of GUIs, consisting of dozens of CorAna.GUI...
modules is implemented in the draft approximation. Roughly it reproduces all features of the old program.
Input parameters GUIs
CorAna.GUI...
most of them are available. Will be added or extended if necessary.
Files - define input files and do pre-processing
Setup Info
Analysis Info
System
Intensity Monitor needs to be used at processing stage
Run GUI
Input - short summary of input info for data processing
Split - control and monitoring for the 1st stage of processing
Process - ... 2nd stage ...
Merge - ... 3d stage ...
Auto - ... for all 3 stages ...
View Results GUI
Contains a set of control fields for presentation of results
Direct and reflected beam geometry is implemented in ViewResults.py
. Currently the switch between the direct and reflected beam geometry is used from tab status variable: cp.exp_setup_geom.value()
.
If the PV variable will be used, then the switch should be changed in ViewResults.get_q_map(sp)
module.
