Method Details

collectData

public void collectData()
                 throws DeviceException

Needs to drive EPICS

Throws:

DeviceException

getStatus

public int getStatus()
              throws DeviceException

Should get this from EPICS

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

readout

public Object readout()
               throws DeviceException

May need to be a filename sometimes, or other modes may return the values.

Returns:

The filename of the output file, or the real data

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 or false depending on the mode of operation

Throws:

DeviceException

getDescription

public String getDescription()
                      throws DeviceException

Specified by:

getDescription in interface Detector

Overrides:

getDescription in class DetectorBase

Returns:

"EDXD 23 Element Cambera Detector"

Throws:

DeviceException

getDetectorID

public String getDetectorID()
                     throws DeviceException

Specified by:

getDetectorID in interface Detector

Overrides:

getDetectorID in class DetectorBase

Returns:

part number from hardware or simulation

Throws:

DeviceException

getDetectorType

public String getDetectorType()
                       throws DeviceException

Specified by:

getDetectorType in interface Detector

Overrides:

getDetectorType in class DetectorBase

Returns:

"MCA"

Throws:

DeviceException
