Scheme of the hardware/software system used to acquire data with the QEXAFS monochromator. The scaler card reads the two encoder positions (channels 0 and 1) and provides a trigger at a user-selectable frequency. The storage of encoder values and of analog inputs (ADC channels 0, 1 and 2) is synchronized by this trigger. Double buffering permits the saving of data in the file system while new data are still being recorded. All components are controlled and configured through the TANGO software bus. |
