Detailed Description

Function Documentation

FERS_FindMemThrDest()

int FERS_FindMemThrDest

(

int

handle

)

Find the source where calibration is stored (if present EEPROM is default)

Parameters

[in]

Board

handle

Returns

Source code (0 = flash, 1 = EEPROM)

FERS_ReadThrCalib()

int FERS_ReadThrCalib	(	int	handle,
		int	npts,
		int	MemThrDest,
		char *	date,
		float *	ThrOffset
	)

Read threshold calibration offsets from flash memory.

Parameters

[out]	date	Pointer to the calibration date (DD/MM/YYYY)
[out]	ThrOffset	Pointer to the threshold offsets values
[in]	MemThrDest	Flag indicating the source (0 = flash, 1 = EEPROM) (see FERS_FindMemThrDest function)
[in]	handle	Board handle
[in]	npts	Number of points to read

Returns

0 on success, or a negative error code as defined in FERSLIB_ErrorCodes

FERS_Set_DiscrThreshold()

int FERS_Set_DiscrThreshold	(	int	handle,
		int	Adapter_ch,
		float	thr_mv,
		int	brd
	)

Set the discriminator threshold.

Parameters

[in]	handle	Board handle
[in]	Adapter_ch	Adapter channel identifier
[in]	thr_mv	Threshold in millivolts
[in]	brd	Board identifier

Returns

0 on success, or a negative error code as defined in FERSLIB_ErrorCodes

FERS_CalibThresholdOffset()

int FERS_CalibThresholdOffset	(	int	handle,
		float	min_thr,
		float	max_thr,
		int *	done,
		float *	ThrOffset,
		float *	RMSnoise,
		void(*)(char *msg, int progress)	ptr
	)

Calibate the threshold offset of A5256 adapter.

Parameters

[out]	ThrOffset	Threshold offsets
[out]	done	Calibration completed, per channel
[out]	RMSnoise	Standard deviation of threshold offset
[out]	ptr	Callback function to report progress
[in]	handle	handle of the board to calibrate
[in]	min_thr	minimum threshold fo the scan
[in]	max_thr	maximum threshold for the scan (not true)

Returns

0 in case of success, or a negative error code specified in FERSLIB_ErrorCodes

FERS_WriteThrCalib()

int FERS_WriteThrCalib	(	int	handle,
		int	npts,
		int	MemThrDest,
		float *	ThrOffset
	)

Write Threshold offset calibration of A5256 adapter to flash.

Warning

The flash memory contains vital parameters for the board. Overwriting certain pages can damage the hardware!!! Do not use this function without contacting CAEN first

Parameters

[in]	handle	handle of the board to calibrate
[in]	npts	number of values to write
[in]	MemThrCalib	Flag indicating the source (0 = flash, 1 = EEPROM) (see FERS_FindMemThrDest function)
[in]	ThrOffset	Threshold offsets (use NULL pointer to keep old values)

Returns

0 in case of success, or a negative error code specified in FERSLIB_ErrorCodes
