Changes to Cheetah

2017.2

 

Version 2017.2

  1. Data saving split into two separate files (Results+images).




Version 2016.2

  1. GUI updated to Python3 interface (no need for IDL)

  2. cxiview becomes the standard image viewer



Version 2015.3

(Last updated 13 Dec 2015)


  1. Modifications for RHEL7 upgrate at LCLS

  2. Separate .cxi files for different classes (easier for laser sorting, for example)

  3. .cxi file compression

  4. Auto-configuration script for setting up new experiments

  5. GUI updates



Version 2015.2

(Updated 5 April 2015)


  1. Added support for time tool, traces saved as a stack in the .cxi file.

  2. Pass through of EPICS variables to .cxi file

  3. H5Fflush enables data to be viewed before .cxi file is closed (subject to occasional harmless errors in the viewer)

  4. Improved saturation checker



Version 2015.1

(Updated 3 February 2015)


  1. Default file format changed to CXIDB format (moving away from output of many small HDF5 files)

  2. GUI updated to work with CXIDB format files

  3. Saving of different detector corrections becomes this:

                saveDetectorRaw=0

                saveDetectorCorrected=1

                saveDetectorAndPhotonCorrected=0

                saveNonAssembled=1

                saveAssembled=0

                savePixelMask=1

  1. Saving of powder patterns now requires this:

                savePowderDetectorRaw=0

                savePowderDetectorCorrected=1

                savePowderDetectorAndPhotonCorrected=1

                savePowderNonAssembled=1

                savePowderAssembled=0

                usePolarizationCorrection=0

  1. Pump laser scheme sorting

                sortPumpLaserOn=0

                pumpLaserScheme=evr41

                saveByPowderClass=0

• Saving options

               saveCXI=1

               dataSaveFormat=INT16 (accepted formats = {INT16,INT32,float})
