MCA scans
MCA scan support using a bliss acquisition device.
This story is part of #106.
It requires #140 (closed) and #142 (closed).
From the following configuration:
- Mercury
- Run mode: single AND multiple
- Acquisition mode: MCA
- Trigger mode: external (or gate)
- Preset mode: none
Publish the following data through bliss:
- Raw spectrums (for each point)
- Hardware statistics (for each point)
Tasks:
-
implement basic MCA acquisition device -
add to default chain for classic step by step scans -
add continuous acquisition support -
write tests -
get the code reviewed -
validate on hardware with a trigger generator
Warning: The first acquisition is corrupted by design and should be discarded!
BL: /
Validation: Follow the protocol described above with the mercury in the detector lab
