public class XesIf extends DetectorBase
For I20 XES experiments, reads out the I1 ion chamber and calculates If/I1.

Should use the XesScanDataPointFormatter to properly format the resulting ascii files.

Different flavours of this class will be needs if detectors other than the Vortex is used in an xes scan

    • configure

      public void configure()
      Description copied from class: ConfigurableBase
      Default implementation for classes that do not have to do any specific configuration.
      Classes that do their own configuration should *not* call this superclass function, as it may cause the object to appear configured before it really is.
      Specified by:
      configure in interface Configurable
      Overrides:
      configure in class ConfigurableBase

    • collectData

      public void collectData() throws DeviceException
      Description copied from interface: Detector
      Tells the detector to begin to collect a set of data, then returns immediately. Should cause the hardware to start collecting immediately: if there is any delay then detectors used in the same scan would collect over different times when beam conditions may differ.
      Throws:
      DeviceException

    • readout

      public Double[] readout() throws DeviceException
      Description copied from interface: Detector
      Returns the latest data collected. The size of the Object returned must be consistent with the values returned by getDataDimensions and getExtraNames.

      If LocalProperties.GDA_SCAN_CONCURRENTSCAN_READOUT_CONCURRENTLY is true then motors may be moved while the detector readouts. The value returned must not be effected by any concurrent motor or shutter movements. See Detector.waitWhileBusy() and ConcurrentScan. Readout must block until the detector is ready to respond quickly to Detector.collectData() again.

      Returns:
      the data collected
      Throws:
      DeviceException

    • createsOwnFiles

      public boolean createsOwnFiles() throws DeviceException
      Description copied from interface: Detector
      Returns a value which indicates whether the detector creates its own files. If it does (return true) the readout() method returns the name of the latest file created as a string. If it does not (return false) the readout() method will return the data directly.
      Returns:
      true if readout() returns filenames
      Throws:
      DeviceException

    • getDescription

      public String getDescription() throws DeviceException
      Specified by:
      getDescription in interface Detector
      Overrides:
      getDescription in class DetectorBase
      Returns:
      A description of the detector.
      Throws:
      DeviceException

    • getDetectorID

      public String getDetectorID() throws DeviceException
      Specified by:
      getDetectorID in interface Detector
      Overrides:
      getDetectorID in class DetectorBase
      Returns:
      A identifier for this detector.
      Throws:
      DeviceException

    • getDetectorType

      public String getDetectorType() throws DeviceException
      Specified by:
      getDetectorType in interface Detector
      Overrides:
      getDetectorType in class DetectorBase
      Returns:
      The type of detector.
      Throws:
      DeviceException

    • getStatus

      public int getStatus() throws DeviceException
      Description copied from interface: Detector
      Returns the current collecting state of the device.
      Returns:
      BUSY if the detector has not finished the requested operation(s), IDLE if in an completely idle state and STANDBY if temporarily suspended.
      Throws:
      DeviceException
