Attributes:

Name Description
PositionTriggerStartScalar: DevDouble Position at which the triggers start after arming (used if triggermode 1, 3 or 6)
PositionTriggerStepSizeScalar: DevDouble Step size for triggers in position (used if triggermode 1, 4 or 6).
NbTriggersScalar: DevLong Number of trigger to generate
TriggerPulseLengthScalar: DevDouble Length of the trigger pulse. Used in all trigger modes. It has to be smaller than the TimeTriggerStepSize (for trigger modes 2 and 3) and smaller than the time the motor needs for travelling the PositionTriggerStepSize for trigger modes (1 and 4).
ArmScalar: DevLong Set to 1 for start triggering und to 0 to stop.
TriggerModeScalar: DevLong Trigger Mode: start and step in: 1 -> position, 2 -> time, 3 -> position-time , 4 -> time-position, 5 -> external signal, 6-> zig-zag mode, triggers generated in postions between two limits.
TimeTriggerStartScalar: DevDouble Time delay before start triggering after arming (only used if triggermode 2 or 4)
TimeTriggerStepSizeScalar: DevDouble Step size for triggers in time (only used if triggermode 2 or 3).
Position1ConversionScalar: DevDouble Conversion from enconder values to physical units: steps = conversion*units
CurrentPosition1Scalar: DevDouble Encoder position transformed to physical units
FilePrefixScalar: DevString File to save the data: FilePrefix.csv
FileDirScalar: DevString Directory to save the data
TriggerCounterScalar: DevLong
EncoderTriggerScalar: DevLong Encoder position where the current trigger is done.
RemainingTriggersScalar: DevLong
BufferLoadScalar: DevDouble Percentage of SDRAM buffer currently read
Position2ConversionScalar: DevDouble Conversion from enconder values to physical units: steps = conversion*units
Position3ConversionScalar: DevDouble Conversion from enconder values to physical units: steps = conversion*units
Position4ConversionScalar: DevDouble Conversion from enconder values to physical units: steps = conversion*units
Position5ConversionScalar: DevDouble Conversion from enconder values to physical units: steps = conversion*units
PositionTriggerStopScalar: DevDouble Position at which the triggers stop (only used if triggermode 6)
EncoderTriggeringScalar: DevLong Encoder used for trigger settings in position
CurrentPosition2Scalar: DevDouble Encoder position transformed to physical units
CurrentPosition3Scalar: DevDouble Encoder position transformed to physical units
CurrentPosition4Scalar: DevDouble Encoder position transformed to physical units
CurrentPosition5Scalar: DevDouble Encoder position transformed to physical units
MaskDataToWriteScalar: DevDouble Mask for the writing of data, set to 1 the bit corresponding to the data you don`t want to be writen: counter 1, encoder1 2, encoder2 3, encoder3 4, encoder4 5, encoder5 6. Ex. not write encoder1 -> 2, not write encoder1 and encoder4 -> 18
Metadata1Scalar: DevString String to write as attribute to the field Encoder1 in the nexus file
Metadata2Scalar: DevString String to write as attribute to the field Encoder2 in the nexus file
Metadata3Scalar: DevString String to write as attribute to the field Encoder3 in the nexus file
Metadata4Scalar: DevString String to write as attribute to the field Encoder4 in the nexus file
Metadata5Scalar: DevString String to write as attribute to the field Encoder5 in the nexus file
CounterDataSpectrum: DevDouble
Encoder1DataSpectrum: DevDouble Positions where the triggers were done, in encoder units
Position1DataSpectrum: DevDouble Positions where the triggers were done, in physical units.
Encoder2DataSpectrum: DevDouble Positions where the triggers were done, in encoder units
Encoder3DataSpectrum: DevDouble Positions where the triggers were done, in encoder units
Encoder4DataSpectrum: DevDouble Positions where the triggers were done, in encoder units
Encoder5DataSpectrum: DevDouble Positions where the triggers were done, in encoder units
Position2DataSpectrum: DevDouble Positions from encoder2, in physical units.
Position3DataSpectrum: DevDouble Positions from encoder2, in physical units.
Position4DataSpectrum: DevDouble Positions from encoder2, in physical units.
Position5DataSpectrum: DevDouble Positions from encoder2, in physical units.
