LAMBDA Tango C++ device

This is the reference documentation of the XSpectrum LAMBDA Tango C++ device.

Properties

Property name	Default value	Type	Description
ConfigFile	/opt/xsp/config/system.yml	String	Configuration file used to initialize the detector.
DistortionCorrection	false	Boolean	Set distortion correction. When distortion correction is enabled : Large pixels are divided according to predefined denominator. The values of the pixels are rounded during division. If pixel value is saturated, the division is not applied.
ChargeSumming	False		Boolean Indicates wether charge summing mode is used or not.

Attributes

Attribute name	Read/Write	Type	Description
configFile	R	String	Configuration file used to initialize the detector.
chargeSumming	R	Boolean	Indicates wether charge summing mode is used or not.
lowerThreshold	R/W	Double	Get/Set the lower threshold settings in keV for the Lambda detector. It’s a memorized attribute.
upperThreshold	R/W	Double	Get/Set the upper threshold settings in keV for the Lambda detector. It’s a memorized attribute.
distortionCorrection	R	Boolean	Get whether interpolation of extra large pixels is enabled.
highVoltage	R	Double	Get the measured high voltage value from a specific detector module. (Older detector firmware might not support this command. In this case, a value of 0.0 is returned). It’s a memorized attribute.
humidity	R	Double	Get the measured humidity from a specific detector module. (Older detector firmware might not support this command. In this case, the valueof 0.0 is returned).
libraryVersion	R	String	Get the version of the library as a string in the format “major.minor.patch”. Available only for expert user.
temperature	R	Double	Get a vector of measured temperatures from a specific detector module. The number of values and their meaning depends on hardware revision of the detectorreadout board.For new readout boards, three values are returned: the board temperature, theFPGA temperature, and the temperature from the humidity sensor. (Older boardsdo not support this command, and an empty vector is returned).
linearityCorrection	R/W	Boolean	Enable/Disable correction of counts. It’s a memorized attribute.
saturationFlag	R/W	Boolean	Enable/Disable flagging of saturated pixels. It’s a memorized attribute.
saturationThreshold	R/W	Long	Saturation threshold in counts/sec/pixel. It’s a memorized attribute.

Commands

Command name	Arg. in	Arg. out	Description
