Spi communications during System Check (Shutter Cal)

CalibrateDetector function is main loop that runs the shutter cal process. It does a bunch of memory allocations, close_shutter calls and it calls InitShaperXL3. After this the filter wheel will be moved to the correct position and the xray tube will be started. Now we start SpectraView2_segger and drop into the looping function GetSpectra which is the function that reads data from the fpga and determines when the process is done.

Setting of Shapers

InitShaperXL3 sets up a local structure with shaper parameters based on the current detector being used. This function also calls adjustDetectorShapers and SetShaperXL3. This function then terminates.

adjustDetectorShapers modify's some of the parameters based on a few more conditions. Why this is not included in the previous function is beyond me... All parameters are in system ram, still nothing has been updated in the actual fpga registers.

SetShaperXL3 makes some addition modifications to parameters and creates a few new ones based on other but with additional offsets (wtf), it then calls SetShaperUsingSPI. There is also the ability to debug output a collection of probably important parameters: <pre> sprintf(buf,"SLOW_RISE_TIME:%d\r\n",SHS.SLOW_RISE_TIME); sprintf(buf,"GATE_RECOVERY:%d\r\n",SHS.GATE_RECOVERY); sprintf(buf,"RTD_RISE_TIME:%d\r\n",SHS.RTD_RISE_TIME); sprintf(buf,"RTD_FLAT_TOP_RTM:%d\r\n",SHS.RTD_FLAT_TOP_RTM); sprintf(buf,"PEAK_TIME:%d\r\n",SHS.PEAK_TIME); sprintf(buf,"AFTER_PEAK_GUARD:%d\r\n",SHS.AFTER_PEAK_GUARD); sprintf(buf,"DT_EXTENSION:%d\r\n",SHS.DT_EXTENSION); sprintf(buf,"SLOW_EXTENSION:%d\r\n",SHS.SLOW_EXTENSION); sprintf(buf,"FAST_EXTENSION:%d\r\n",SHS.FAST_EXTENSION); sprintf(buf,"SLOW_BIN_GAIN:%d\r\n",SHS.SLOW_BIN_GAIN); sprintf(buf,"SLOW_FINE_GAIN:%d\r\n",SHS.SLOW_FINE_GAIN); </pre>

SetShaperUsingSPI, I found something that actually writes stuff to the fpga. We start off reading REG_ADDR_2 and clearing bit 8.

<pre> usDetector = Read_Single ( (REG_ADDR_2) ); usDetector &= ~(1<<8); // First detector

Write_Single( (REG_ADDR_2),usDetector ); Write_Single( (REG_ADDR_17),SHS.GATE_WIDTH_EXT); Write_Single( (REG_ADDR_18),SHS.GATE_RECOVERY); Write_Single( (REG_ADDR_16),SHS.ADC_OFFSET); Write_Single( (REG_ADDR_19),SHS.FAST_RISE_TIME +256*(SHS.FAST_RISE_TIME+SHS.FAST_FLAT_TOP))  ;


if (SHS.CUSP_TRAP) { usReg7 = ((short)(SHS.SLOW_FLAT_TOP))|0x8000; } else { usReg7 = ((short)(SHS.SLOW_FLAT_TOP))&0x7FFF; }

//bits 12 to 10 which have been moved to a new register Reg 31 

    Write_Single( (REG_ADDR_20), usReg7);	
    Write_Single( (REG_ADDR_21) ,SHS.SLOW_RISE_TIME);         
    Write_Single( (REG_ADDR_22) ,SHS.SLOW_EXTENSION + 256*SHS.FAST_EXTENSION);// check it with the old one and send
    Write_Single( (REG_ADDR_23),SHS.FAST_THRESH_LOW);
    Write_Single( (REG_ADDR_24),SHS.FAST_THRESH_HIGH);
    Write_Single( (REG_ADDR_25),SHS.SLOW_THRESH_LOW);
    Write_Single( (REG_ADDR_26),SHS.SLOW_THRESH_HIGH);     
    Write_Single( (REG_ADDR_27),SHS.SLOW_BLR_TAU + 256*SHS.FAST_BLR_TAU); 
    Write_Single( (REG_ADDR_28),SHS.AFTER_PEAK_GUARD );
    Write_Single( (REG_ADDR_29),SHS.PEAK_TIME);   
    Write_Single( (REG_ADDR_30),FPGA_GAIN);        // for gain control (00->gain=1.05, 01 ->gain=2, 02 -> gain=4) 
    Write_Single( (REG_ADDR_31),SHS.SLOW_BIN_GAIN);     
    Write_Single( (REG_ADDR_32),SHS.SLOW_FINE_GAIN); 
    Write_Single( (REG_ADDR_33),SHS.DT_EXTENSION);
  1. if 1//def RTD
  usReg34 = SHS.RTD_RISE_TIME;
   Write_Single(REG_ADDR_34, usReg34);// Setting the RTD RISE TIME
   usReg35 = SHS.RTD_FLAT_TOP_RTM;//usReg34 + ( usReg19 & 0xFF) + ( usReg19/256 );
   Write_Single(REG_ADDR_35, usReg35);
  1. endif
   //Clear Spectrum is optional here

ClearSpectrum_SPI ( ); 

   usTempData =  Read_Single ( (REG_ADDR_2) );
   usTempData &= ~0x0002; //Disable acquisition
   Write_Single ( (REG_ADDR_2), usTempData ); 
   
   usTempData =  Read_Single ( (REG_ADDR_2) );
   usTempData |= (1<<7); //Enable RTD

  Write_Single ( (REG_ADDR_2), usTempData | 0x0000 );// This selects Slow Shaper at the output of the DAC board - default

</pre>

Getting spectra

Ok, so we start by disabling spectral acquisition startSpectrum(FALSE)</code> and then call InitShaperXL3</code>. We then zero out localSpecra buffer, initialize a bunch of local variables and get the current (starting) realtime and livetime values for future use.
