Submodules

pymepix.TPX4.tpx4chipdevice module

class pymepix.TPX4.tpx4chipdevice.Tpx4ChipDevice(_ctrl, device_num)[source]

Bases: object

property deviceId

Returns unique device Id

Parameters:

  • spidr_ctrl (SpidrController) – SPIDR controller object the device belongs to

  • device_num – Device index from SPIDR (Starts from 1)

property headerFilter
property ipAddrDest
property ipAddrSrc
property linkStatus
property serverPort
setHeaderFilter(eth_mask, cpu_mask)[source]

pymepix.TPX4.tpx4controller module

class pymepix.TPX4.tpx4controller.Timepix4Controller(camera_ip_address, camera_udp_port)[source]

Bases: object

property boardFanSpeed
property chipboardFanSpeed
closeShutter()[source]

Immediately closes the shutter

Raises:

PymePixException – Communication error

property deviceCount

Returns devices count

property fpgaTemperature

Temperature of FPGA board read from sensor

Returns:

Temperature in Celsius

Return type:

float

Raises:

PymePixException – Communication error

property humidity

Humidity read from sensor

Returns:

Humidity as percentage

Return type:

int

Raises:

PymePixException – Communication error

property localTemperature

Local ????!?!? Temperature read from sensor

Returns:

Temperature in Celsius

Return type:

float

Raises:

PymePixException – Communication error

openShutter()[source]

Immediately opens the shutter indefinitely

Raises:

PymePixException – Communication error

Notes

This overwrites shutter configurations with one that forces an open shutter

prepare()[source]
property pressure

Pressure read from sensor

Returns:

Pressure in bar

Return type:

int

Raises:

PymePixException – Communication error

property remoteTemperature

Remote ????!?!? Temperature read from sensor

Returns:

Temperature in Celsius

Return type:

float

Raises:

PymePixException – Communication error

resetTimers()[source]

Resets all timers to zero

Sets the internal 48-bit timers for all Timepix/Medipix devices to zero

Raises:

PymePixException – Communication error

restartTimers()[source]

Restarts SPIDR and Device timers

Synchronizes both the SPIDR clock and Timepix/Medipix clocks so both trigger and ToA timestamps match

Important

This must be done if event selection is required (e.g. time of flight) otherwise the timestamps will be offset

Raises:

PymePixException – Communication error

setBiasSupplyEnable(enable)[source]

Enables/Disables bias supply voltage

Parameters:

enable (bool) – True - enables bias supply voltage False - disables bias supply voltage

Raises:

PymePixException – Communication error

setShutterTriggerConfig(mode, length_us, freq_hz, count, delay_ns=0)[source]

Set the shutter configuration in one go

Parameters:

  • mode (int) – Shutter trigger mode

  • length_us (int) – Shutter open time in microseconds

  • freq_hz (int) – Auto trigger frequency in Hertz

  • count (int) – Number of triggers

  • delay_ns (int, optional) – Delay between each trigger (Default: 0)

Raises:

PymePixException – Communication error
