Documentation:
This macro set offers basic commands for the cyberstar modules. The parameters on the standard SCA unit type and the Electrometer (not yet!) type can be read and set. For the SCA, the window between the lower and upper threshold can be scanned. Multiple SCA units can be defined, each containing one or more channels. OVERVIEW EXAMPLE 595.SPEC> cybermenu Settings on Cyberstar unit 0: 0 :: High Voltage [V] : 400.000 1 :: Lower SCA Threshold[V] : 0.600 2 :: Upper SCA Threshold[V] : 10 3 :: Input Gain [%] : 40.000 4 :: Peaking Time [ns] : 500.000 5 :: Remote Forced [0/1] : 0 Enter number of parameter to change or -1 to exit (-1)? 1 Set Lower SCA Threshold[V] on unit 0 (0.6)? .5 SETUP INTERNALS DEPENDENCIES The file cyber.mac has to be read in !done by: startup script This file needs pseudo.mac and stchanges.mac | ||||||
Macros:
Usage: cybersetup [<no of cyberstars>] [<serial line of first cyberstar>] [<default window size[V]>] [<default unit>] [<mne1> <mne2> ...] Old setup macro that assumes all units have a single channel, do not accept addresses and use serial lines configured consecutive in Spec. Sets up the serial lines to be used for the cyberstar units on the beamline. This macro must always be called first. cybernewsetup Usage: cybernewsetup [nrunits] [mne1] [mne2] ... This is the new setup macro for the Cyberstar. It does nothing but set the total number of units and define the pseudo motors to be used. If only one mne is specified, it will work with the active channel when the motor is moved, so cybersetchannel must be called first. All the "important" information about the hardware is set by calling cyberunitsetup for every unit in the system. cyberunitsetup Usage: cyberunitsetup [unit] [type] [model] [addr] [serline] [timeout] [startchan] [nrchan] [win] Initializes the specified unit. Each Cyberstart unit is of a particular type (SCA, etc...), and each type has different models. The addr parameter specifies the address configured by switches in the box; it must be -1 if the unit does not recongize addresses (very old ones). If multiple units are daisy chained, they must have the same serial line serline and different addresses. Channels are unique in the system, and for the given unit they start from startchan; nrchan says the number of channels in the unit. win is the default window size cybermenu Usage: cybermenu [channel] The cyberstar parameters can be entered in a menu. Enter the value printed in front of the parameter and you will be prompted . If no channel is given, the default channel is used. cyberscan Usage: cyberscan <start> <finish> <intervals> <time> [window] Scans the lower and upper threshold of the default cyberstar module. The scans starts at a lower threshold of <start> and scans in <interval> number of scan points to <finish>. The count time at every scan point is <time>. An optional parameter [window] can be given to modify at the same time the window between lower and upper threshold. All values are given in V. Be careful when setting <start> and <finish> as finish + window must be an allowed value for the upper threshold. cyberdelete Usage: cyberdelete Switches off the use of cyberstar pseudo motors and deletes the macros from user_xxxx cyberoff Usage: cyberoff Switches off the use of cyberstar pseudo motors cyberon Usage: cyberon Switches on the use of cyberstar pseudo motors cyberwindow Usage: cyberwindow [window] [channel] The scan window can be set faster with this macro than with the cybersetup macro cybersetunit Usage: cybersetunit [unit] Sets the default unit (actually channel) to use when no unit is specified in commands like set HV. Kept for compatibility, use cybersetchannel cybersetchannel Usage: cybersetchannel [channel] Sets the default channel to use in voltage threshold scans or another setting macro when the channel is not specified cyberstate Usage: cyberstate [channel] Prints the actual values of a cyberstar channel on the screen. If no channel is given, the default is used cyberhv Usage: cyberhv [HV in Volt] [channel] Sets the HV on channel channel or the default channel set by cybersetchannel cyberlow Usage: cyberlow [low threshold on SCA] [channel] Sets the lower threshold on <channel> or the default channel set by cybersetchannel cyberup Usage: cyberup [upper threshold on SCA] [channel] Sets the upper threshold on <channel> or the default channel set by cybersetchannel cybergain Usage: cybergain [input gain] [channel] Sets the input gain on <channel> or the default channel set by cybersetchannel cyberpeak Usage: cyberpeak [peaking time] [channel] Sets the peaking time in ns on <channel> or the default channel set by cybersetchannel cyberremote Usage: cyberremote [force remote flag] [channel] Sets the force-remote flag on <channel> or the default channel set by cybersetchannel cyberreset Usage: cyberreset [unit] Resets the Cyberstar unit.

Usage: cyber_init %MEDESC% Initialises the global data for Cyberstars cyber_typeoffset Usage: cyber_typeoffset (type) Returns the offset to add to the model or parameter index depending of the unit type cyber_duplicate Usage: cyber_duplicate (type, base, new, name) Creates a new model new with name name as a duplicate of model base cyber_attr Usage: cyber_attr (chan, attr) Returns the channel/unit/model/type attribute of the specified channel cyber_support Usage: cyber_support (chan, par) Returns if parameter is supported by the channel/unit cyber_chan Usage: cyber_chan (parpos, par) Returns the channel with index chanparidx in pars, or CYBERCHAN if not specified cyber_string Usage: cyber_string (chan, par) Returns the correct string to send to the Cyberstar depending on the unit model and address cyber_serline Usage: cyber_serline (chan) Returns the serial line of the given channel cyber_check Usage: cyber_check (chan, par, val, rd) Check if the parameter is valid for the channel and translate it, if necessary, depending if it will be written (rd=0) or read (rd=1) cyber_chan_unit Usage: cyber_chan_unit (chan, nrunit) Returns the unit that holds the specified channel. If nrunit is greater than 0, specifies the nr. of units to search. Returns -1 if not found cyber_getangles Usage: cyber_getangles motor [channel] Read the lower threshold and puts the value in the pseudo motor cyber_moveall Usage: cyber_moveall motor [channel] Used to set the lower and upper threshold cyber_set Usage: cyber_set <function-id> [value to set] [channel] Set the specified value in the channel cyber_get Usage: cyber_get (chan, par) Reads and returns the specified parameter par of chan cyber_readf Usage: cyber_readf <channel> <id-string-variable> <value> Sends the specified string to channel and stores the box response in value as a float cyber_reads Usage: cyber_reads <channel> <id-string-variable> <value> Sends the specified string to channel and stores the box response in value as a string cyber_writev Usage: cyber_writev <channel> <id-string-variable> <value> Sets the parameter with <id-string> on <channel> to <value> cyber_accept Usage: cyber_accept <channel> Read a binary 6 and will print an error message and exit in case of a timeout cyberbody Usage: cyberbody(mode) | ||||||
