AreaDetector Statistics for multiple image per point with N filter #90

Open ambarb opened 8 years ago

ambarb commented 8 years ago

There are two separate issues:

[ ] N filter buffer is not cleared prior to a new scan. This affects the statistics if the N filter is enabled.
[ ] The filter should be automatically enabled by the software when using the AreaDetector with a motor scan with N filter = num_images. There should be a discussion on how to handle ct() with num_images > 1. The user may or may not want this enabled. Most likely, the user will want N filter disabled in the case where num_images is large.

I discussed with @stuwilkins how this should be done. What is the relevant PV?

ambarb commented 8 years ago

XF:23ID1-ES{FCCD}Proc1:NumFilter_RBV is the Filter N Images

XF:23ID1-ES{FCCD}Proc1:EnableFilter enables / disables the filter

the type of filter is configurable deeper in the area detector screen. is this something we want to make configurable through bluesky not.

All of the processing plugin options are configurable through ophyd. See: https://github.com/NSLS-II/ophyd/blob/master/ophyd/areadetector/plugins.py#L411 for example

tacaswell commented 8 years ago

We probably should install a dev version of ophyd if you want to use this (to capture all of the AD configuration + the blocking callback stuff).

@danielballan If we make this change, how will that be affected by the slow detector fix you implemented so we can ^C the fast ccd scans? Does the final fix make it easy to switch between the slow and normal mode?

@cmazzoli @stuwilkins preferences?
