fpFCT: with beam

A month a go I have work in simulate the beam of the storage ring by its bunches in the Fast Current Transformer (FCT). Well now we are in a run of 3 weeks (the operation calendar is available on the web site), and we can see the signal in the scope from the FCT and apply the algorithm developed in accelerators using the device server developer by the controls group.

To see those inputs and those outputs we need our Tango Graphical User Interface (GUI) called Taurus. And with a "simple" command line like:

$ taurusform sr/di/FillingPatternFCT-01/{nAcquisitions,StartingPoint,Threshold,ScaleH,OffsetH,TimingTrigger,resultingFrequency,FilledBunches,SpuriousBunches} sr02/di/sco-01/{Channel1,CurrentSampleRate,ScaleH,OffsetH} sr/di/FillingPatternFCT-01/{BunchIntensity,State,Status} &

This command line, looking so complicated is only listing all the attributes (and their sorting) to be set in a taurusform, by using a feature of bash to write the (almost) minimum.

For example, first parameter is: sr/di/FillingPatternFCT-01/{nAcquisitions,StartingPoint,Threshold,ScaleH,OffsetH,TimingTrigger,resultingFrequency,FilledBunches,SpuriousBunches} An this means to get from the device server sr/di/FillingPatternFCT-01, the attributes listed.

That command will open a small window like:

There are two button in the attribute space because they are 1D data (spectrum in tango), Clicking them a taurusplot will be launched for each. One for the FCT signal:

And another for the Bunch Intensity calculated:

With Taurus, it's so easy to have a little simple gui to start with. Also the General Taurus Gui is neither so difficult.
