GUI for MCA Record

["Smith, William via Tech-talk" <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Hi Mark, Everyone,

 

I have used the mca record to connect to a Bruker/Rontec Silicon Drift Detector. It works nicely, as does the supplied example GUI in Phoebus.

 

I would like to allow my users to specify calibration to scale from mca waveform bin to energy, and then be able to specify regions of interest in terms of energy rather than bin start and ends.

 

I saw in the documentation that it’s mentioned an IDL app exists to do this, and that it had been ported to python. (https://cars.uchicago.edu/software/epics/mcaDoc.html) I think this is now in the “Legacy” folder of epicsapps https://github.com/pyepics/epicsapps/tree/master/Legacy/MCADisplay I could not get it to run.

I would like a phoebus based display that did what that the mcaDisplay application sounds like it does/ did.

 

What tools are other people using to interact with the mca record? Do I need to make extra records to hold the converted waveform, and ROI’s or can I deal with this just by conversion in the display tool?

 

 

Many thanks,

 

Will
