Pulse Selector in the Hutches
Tuesday Jul 2nd
Initial XRay aligned positions:
Y position: 0.0000 mm
X position: 0.1512 mm
Test examples
Single shot 10 images
ccdtake(1,10, bShutter=True)
Burst mode 3 shots 100 images
ccdtake(3,100, bShutter=True)
Alignment Laser used to test the system
- To insert the laser
In [2]: rl2.movein() - To remove the laser
In [2]: rl2.moveiout()
Results: Tests doesn't work satisfactory. Problems found in Mcode:
- Integrate 4 shots instead of 3 (using ccdtake(3, 1 , bShutter=True)) OK
- missing some shots when in 2 shots mode. SOLVED (USING MODE 3.2)
- Stopping the program (:RESET_PG 1) tooks long time than before 1-3 sec more)
Needed one variable to check if RESET_PG is completed or if is OK to change mode. - Switch from mode 1 to 3 still doesn't work. Example:
ccdtake(1, 1 , bShutter=True) WORKS - ccdtake(3, 1 , bShutter=True) FAILS!
Still needs to do HOMING - Fast OPEN and CLOSE doesn't work.
Monday Jul 1st
New tests with new ioc version (new MCode version)
Features:
- New MODE (MODE 3.3)
- One EVR Trigger OPEN, Next EVR Trigger CLOSE OK IT WORKS
- Fast OPEN and CLOSE commands NEED TO BE TESTED
TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN THE MCODE ASAP:
- Start position insensitive
- HOME (Index Mark) position set to zero (DIAL)
- START position (insensitive) relative to HOME (USER)
- Record to report position (Encoder) as monitor at any time
TODO and issues in XCS
==================================================
in xcs-control:
caput XCS:SB2:MMS:09:SET_VE 0
modify reg/d/iocCommon/sioc/ioc-xcs-trigger-ims/startup.cmd
to point to working area,
ssh ioc-xcs-mot1
kill ioc (telnet localhost...)
boot ioc from reg/d/iocCommon/sioc/ioc-xcs-trigger-ims/startup.cmd
===================================================
to fast open/close:
caput XCS:SB2:MMS:09:MODE_OPEN 1 (C2 should be around 655)
caget XCS:SB2:MMS:09:SE_L (to be read 4)
caput XCS:SB2:MMS:09:MODE_CLOSE 1 (C2 should be around 0 or 2x655)
caget XCS:SB2:MMS:09:SE_L (to be read 5)
===================================================
1. START STOP mode3.3
SET_TG 2
SET_MODE 3
2. FAST OPEN/CLOSE PV
3. START POSITION INDEPENDENT:
- ISSUE: No counting -> trigger "burst stop" sometimes
- FIXME: Avoid arm/disarm
- TODO: Benchmark time needed for position correction
- FIXME: Start position dependent on present position
- TODO: If
position correction takes <= 10ms the do each time - TODO: Home offset as PV
- TODO: Make Aperture Angle as VAR and PV (to be changed as needed)
- TODO: Dial zero @ Encoder Home marker
User zero @ "Aligned" position (means that RESET_PG reset only users) - to be discussed with Jeff - TODO: Fast Open/Close PV
- NEXT: Uses First Trigger to Open, Second Trigger to Close
The PP listen then for just one Event Code.
Example of sequence:
84 1 -> PP
85 2 -> DAQ

Setup Lab tests
XIP Pulse Selector: Files, modes, schematics
Setup Lab: EVR Settings
Setup Lab: Working with the EVR from pslogin
- in pslogin type (you need to have your securekeys):
ssh ioc-tst-cam5 /reg/neh/home1/paiser/bin/evr.sh EVR=TST:CAM:05:EVR
- Then configure EVR as you need manually...
Setup Lab: In case the server ioc-tst-cam5 was power cycled
- Connect to the server:
ssh ioc-tst-cam5
- Run the startup command that contains EVR ioc in:
sudo /reg/d/iocCommon/sioc/ioc-tst-cam5/startup.cmd
- You should see with psproc:

Mode Descriptions
Mode 1: Single pulse
Mode 2: Continuous trigger
Mode 1 and 2 should be the same program, as the Seq will generate the pulses to the motor, and open/close operation shouldn't make any difference whether it is 1 or more. The motor sees a trigger and moves.
This mode is accessed by <PV>:RUN_MODE2
Mode 3: The motor opens on a pulse, counts N pulses and closes on the Nth pulse. The pre-trigger and close trigger should be factored in by the upper layer software to determine the proper N value to put into the motor. All the motor does is, open on N=1, count, then close on N=N.
This mode is accessed by <PV>:RUN_MODE3
Mode 1 was programmed like just mode 2 with a User "Trigger" enable/disable, which may or may not be useful for us. Sort of like 2 layers of enabling, versus just 1 for mode2
This mode is accessed by <PV>:RUN_MODE1
Reset Modes to start new mode:
<PV>:RESET

Pulse Selector Test/Checkout Procedure (6/10/2013)
X motor calibration
- Found offset from X zero position: 5.8075 mm from + limit
- Offset for X zero position: 5.7332 mm from - limit
- Limits performed as expected, and in place before hardstops
Y motor calibration
- Offset from +Y limit to zero: 15.6689 mm
- Offset from -Y limit to zero: 7.9956 mm
- Limits performed as expected, and in place before hardstops
New Interlock:
Add Y motor interlock, position >= 2 mm above 0 position, no X movement allowed
X-Y interlock stopped working today, need to investigate.
