Generate PACS DetectorSelection Table

  • Contact Roland Ottensamer <ottensamer@astro.univie.ac.at> and Ekkehard Wieprecht <ewieprec@mpe.mpg.de> that you plan to generate a new DetectorSelectionTable.

  • Start the DetectorSelection Tool as described in the PCSS User Manual Chapter 16 (e.g. upper right Button in JIDE) :

    •     IA>> from herschel.pacs.spu.edit import *
          IA>> a = DXSedit()
  • Follow the Instructions of the User Manual to generate a Detctor Selection Table for uplink (Menu -> File -> "save as TCLScript" and downlink (Menu -> File ->"save DetectorSelectionTable").

    • The TCL script you may not need when using CUS

      Some User do not trust the DetectorSelection Tool and might contact Roland Ottensamer <ottensamer@astro.univie.ac.at> to generate it. In this case Roland will send back the

      • files generated and the User continue with this procedure.

  • Convert the <number>.dxset file into CUS procedure (available from 05-Sep-2006 on) :

    •     from common import *
          dxset2Cus(<filename>,<description>)
          e.g. :
          dxset2Cus("2116.dxset","Ekkis first")

      It generate a PACStable_<number> (in this example : PACStable_2116

  • Send the new <number>.dxset file (generated by Menu -> File ->"save DetectorSelectionTable") to Ekkehard Wieprecht <ewieprec@mpe.mpg.de> or Wim De Meester <wim.demeester@ster.kuleuven.ac.be> for integration into PCSS

  • Send the PACStable_<number> file to Diego Cesarsky <diego.cesarsky@mpe.mpg.de> and Ekkehard Wieprecht <ewieprec@mpe.mpg.de>

Loading Detector Selection Tables via CUS

There is a CUS procedure to upload a detector selection table to PACS (either SPECTRO or PHOTO). Selection tables are stored in the CUS database as U-CAL files.

The script to read these U-CAL files is called PACS_Det_sel (see listing in Appendix A); its CUS usage is simply

    PACS_Det_Sel("PACSDetSel_4002")

to upload the table 4002 for instance.

The CUS line command :

cus -defcmds PACS_Det_Sel("PACSDetSel_4002")

can be used to list the TCs that will be uplinked to PACS.

U-CAL files representing detector selection tables are called PACSDetSel_xxx, where xxx represents the detector selection number.

The CUS directory for U-CAL files is currently in

/home/cususer/pacs/cus/CALU

Existing DetSel tables are

CALU/PACSDetSel_100   CALU/PACSDetSel_4002  CALU/PACSDetSel_4006
CALU/PACSDetSel_2001  CALU/PACSDetSel_4003  CALU/PACSDetSel_4007
CALU/PACSDetSel_2300  CALU/PACSDetSel_4004  CALU/PACSDetSel_4008
CALU/PACSDetSel_4001  CALU/PACSDetSel_4005  CALU/PACSDetSel_4009

To import a U-CAL table into the CUS registry, use the following command line directive:

pacs/cus> cus -f -uploadcal CALU/PACSDetSel_4002

for instance.
