Class Description

This Device Server controls the MCA DXP-XMAP from XIA (cPCI).
It uses the XIA handel library. The ini file is loaded into the xMAP. 1 spectrum attribute is created dynamically for each channel (detector). N roi scalar attribute are dynamically created for each channel (detector).

Commands:

Name Description
StateInput: DevVoid
Output: State		 This command gets the device state (stored in its device_state data member) and returns it to the caller.
StatusInput: DevVoid
Output: DevString		 This command gets the device status (stored in its device_status data member) and returns it to the caller.
StartInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Start an acquisition for the Value specified in the attribute presetValue. acquisition will be stopped either automatically after the elapsed value, or by an Abort .
StopInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Stop the acquisition
SetROIsInput: DevVarLongArray
Output: DevVoid		 Set the ROIs. the parameter is an array with values going by pair: tab[0]=126, tab[1]=238 -> first ROI starts from 126, ends to 238 tab[2]=1569,tab[3]=2368 -> second ROI starts from 1569, ends to 2368.
ChooseModeInput: DevShort
Output: DevVoid		 Choose the acquisition mode: 0->MCA 1->MAP 2->SCA
SaveParametersToCurrentINIFileInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Save the current Parameters to an INI file
SaveParametersToNewINIFileInput: DevString
Output: DevVoid		 Save current Xmap parameters to a new INI file
LoadConfigFileInput: DevString
Output: DevVoid		 Load a new config file (.ini)
ReinitInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Used to simulate an Init (delete_device + init_device) when a new INI file is loaded
NexusResetBufferIndexInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Reset the Nexus buffer index to 1
AbortInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Call the Stop command. used for backward compatibility
GetDataStreamsInput: DevVoid
Output: DevString		 Returns the flyscan data streams associated with this device.
