The Measurements Device(s) page consists of a wide display area, with configuration and control elements below. The measurement data are displayed as time count rate curves in counts/sec as a function of acquisition time.
The various elements are described below:
Button for opening the configuration panel. |
|
Normalization: Scales all curves relatively with a maximum of 1. |
|
Autoscale: If enabled, the program continually adjusts the curves ranges on the display, on both the X and the Y axes. |
|
Update box: If enabled, the display is continually updated to show all the acquired data. |
|
Integration time |
Duration, during which the counts are collected. The accumulated counts are then divided by the integration time for calculating the count rate. Default is a 1 sec integration time, minimum is 0.1 sec, and maximum 10sec. Note that rebinning to longer intervals can later be done in the correction tool. |
Button to transfer the acquired curve(s) to the PSAMPLE Correction tool. |
|
Button for clearing the data buffer. |
|
Clear box: If enabled, the data buffer is cleared when starting a new acquisition. In particular, upon the re-start of an experiment the acquisition will overwrite the existing measurements. Contrary, if disabled, the acquisition will continue from the moment the experiment was stopped. |
|
Creates a capture of the entire screen and adds it to a buffer of up to 20 captures. |
|
Opens the PMOD console window with log information. |
|
The End By supports two settings:
|
|
Device Info: Shows the device configuration. Hide/Show Controls: Allows to show or hide the curve control elements. Define/Save Protocol: For the definition of an acquisition protocol. Load Protocol: For retrieving an acquisition protocol. |
|
, |
Start: Starts the acquisition for the configured device. Start All starts the acquisition on all configured devices at once. |
Stop: Stops the acquisition for the configured device. Stop All stops all devices at once. |
If more than one device has been configured, each if them is represented by a curve/control area as described above (maximum 3).
