data acquisition

• signal_vs_time(instrument;magnet_value;detector(s);integrtime;settling_time) -> plotname(s)

Sets the magnet of instrument to magnet_value, waits settling_time before starting the integration of the signal for integrtime. After that the measured signal of the detector(s) is (are) returned and plotted versus time in plot(s) plot_name(s). Qtegra supports only certain values of integrtime.

Magnet_value can be a number or a string the identifies an isotope in the magfield_table

Detector(s) and plot_name(s) can be a string lists = strings separated by comma

Make sure that the number of detectors and plot_names agree.

Example – single detector use Use Qtegra to set the magnet to the magnet value of He3 (or 1.5 in the second example), use the H1_CDD detector with settling and integration times of 1 sec. Plot the result to the plot named “He3Plot”

signal_vs_time(Qtegra; He3; H1_CDD; 1, 1) -> He3Plot

signal_vs_time(Qtegra; 1.5; H1_CDD; 1, 1) -> He3Plot

Example – multi detector use Use Qtegra to set the magnet to the magnet value of He3, use the H1_CDD and the H2 detectors with settling and integration times of 1 sec. Plot the result of the H1_CDD detector to the plot named “He3Plot” and the H2 detector to “He4Plot”

signal_vs_time(Qtegra; He3; H1_CDD, H2; 1, 1) -> He3Plot, He4Plot

• protect_detector(instrument;detector;[0,1])

Protects (1) or unprotects (0) the detector of the instrument

Example: protect_detector(qtegra,H1_CDD,1)

• set_cupconfiguration(instrument;cupconfig_name;subcupconfig_name)

Changes the cup and subcup configuration of the instrument. Make sure the cup and subcup configurations actually exsist!

• set_detector_deflection(instrument;detector;voltage)

Sets the voltage of the deflection of the detector

• set_detector_supply(instrument;detector;voltage)

Sets the supply voltage of the detector

• systemdevice_vs_time(SystemDeviceName) -> plotname

Returns the time and the value of SystemDevice (pressure sensor, temp sensor etc etc) and plots the data in a plot with the name plotname.

The data are stored during an analysis session and saved with the whole session.

A list of available SystemDevices is given in MSControl SystemDevice.ini

sample list

• SampleList_proceed

If a SampleList is used to run multiple samples automatically, the sample list starts running the next sample when this command is processed. The command is being ignored if samples are run without a SampleList.
