Detailed Description

This is the basic implementation of our FeatureIdentificationDevice (FID) spectrometer USB API as defined in ENG-0001.

This class is roughly comparable to Wasatch.NET's Spectrometer.cs.

This class is normally not accessed directly, but through the higher-level abstraction WasatchDevice.

protected

◆ _set_laser_enable_immediate()

wasatch.FeatureIdentificationDevice.FeatureIdentificationDevice._set_laser_enable_immediate ( self,
bool flag )
private

The user has requested to update the laser firing state (on or off), so apply the new laser state to the spectrometer immediately.

Because the ability to immediately disable a laser is a safety-related feature (noting that truly safety-critical capabilities should be implemented in hardware, and generally can't be robustly achieved through Python scripts), this function takes the unusual step of looping over multiple attempts to set the laser state until either the command succeeds, or 3 consecutive failures have occured.

This behavior was added after a developmental, unreleased prototype was found to occasionally drop USB packets, and was therefore susceptible to inadvertently failing to disable the laser upon command.

(as callers are recommended to use set_laser_enable)

Parameters
flag(Input) whether the laser should be on (true) or off (false)
Returns
true if new state was successfully applied

◆ _to40bit()

wasatch.FeatureIdentificationDevice.FeatureIdentificationDevice._to40bit ( self,
val )
protected

Laser modulation and continuous-strobe commands take arguments in micro- seconds as 40-bit values, where the least-significant 16 bits are passed as wValue, the next-significant 16 as wIndex, and the most-significant as a single byte of payload.

This function takes an unsigned integral value (presumably microseconds) and returns a tuple of wValue, wIndex and a buffer to pass as payload.

◆ _wait_for_usb_available()

wasatch.FeatureIdentificationDevice.FeatureIdentificationDevice._wait_for_usb_available ( self)
protected

Wait until any enforced USB packet intervals have elapsed.

This does nothing in most cases - the function is normally a no-op. However, if the application has defined min/max_usb_interval_ms (say (20, 50ms), then pick a random delay in the defined window (e.g. 37ms) and sleep until it has been at least that long since the last USB exchange. The purpose of this function was to wring-out some early ARM micro- controllers with apparent timing issues under high-speed USB 2.0, to see if communications issues disappeared if we enforced a communication latency from the software side.

◆ apply_edc()

wasatch.FeatureIdentificationDevice.FeatureIdentificationDevice.apply_edc ( self,
spectrum )

Use optically black pixels for electrical dark correction (EDC).

Returns
Reading(spectrum, AreaScanImage(data=nd_array))

It's important to understand that Hamamatsu and XS area scan features are architected differently in several respects.

Hamamatsu Area Scan

Full-frame Hamamatsu area scans are collected and returned in a single blocking call. This is possible because:

  • the frame is only 69 lines (6% of a 1080p image)
  • FX2-based 110008 boards use 480 mbps High-Speed USB (40x faster than 12 mbps Full-Speed)
  • CCDs are more sensitive as CMOS, allowing shorter integration times
  • Hamamatsu sensors don't have the 32ms min per-frame LVDS transfer time
  • Hamamatsu sensors allow vertical shifting and horizontal-readout to be delayed by the FPGA until the previous line has been pushed to the FX2, allowing every line in a frame to be sequentially read and pushed (vs IMX385 free-running frame times forcing one line/frame)
  • the FX2 internally generates subsequent ACQUIRE signals to the FPGA after each line has been read-out from the USB buffers to host, reducing the number of EP0 control messages

Due to the above, the Hamamatsu area scan can be executed much faster than an IMX385 area scan, and is considered fast enough to "block" on the full frame.

Therefore, a single blocking call to get_area_scan_hamamatsu() will return a complete area scan frame in roughly the following time:

INTEG_MS + TICK_US x LINES x (PIXELS + 1)

where: INTEG_MS is current integration time LINES is 69 for most Hamamatsu CCDs (128 for C0) PIXELS is 1044 or 2068 as appropriate (physical, not active) TICK_US is 2µs or 4µs as appropriate (depends on clock speed at which FPGA 'ticks' the CCD)

"PIXELS + 1" represents the 1 tick required for each line's vertical shift, plus PIXELS ticks for the horizontal read-out.

XS Area Scan

In contrast, as long as our IMX385 sensor is controlled in "main mode," via Spartan6 with no additional DDR memory, over LVDS, the XS image scan must be read line-by-line, where each line requires a separate full-frame acquisition (32ms minimum latency).

Therefore, a full area scan of a 1080p detector would take AT LEAST 32ms x 1080 lines = 35sec just for LVDS readout to the FPGA. The 1080 ACQUIRE commands would stretch that out further. Over 12mbps Full-Speed USB, the entire process comes to something like 2.5 MINUTES operationally.

Therefore, a blocking call to get_area_scan_xs() will return ASINGLE LINE of an ONGOING area scan. This allows ENLIGHTEN to appear "responsive" during the area scan process, updating its graphical area scan image in real-time as each line is received.

To further speed the process, the XS FPGA will only return lines within the configured vertical ROI, so if a vertical ROI of (300, 500) is config- ured, the area scan image will only comprise 200 lines rather than the full 1080.

Also, since each call to this function will only return a single line, and the FPGA will automatically "roll-over" the current line index after coming to the configured stop_line (returning to the configured start_line), this function does not have a concept of "stopping" or "finishing" a frame; subsequent calls will just keep sending out additional lines, until the spectrometer is taken out of area scan mode.

IPS

Some Wasatch SML products use an IPS Wavelength-Stabilized TO-56 laser, which internally uses a Betatherm 10K3CG3 thermistor.

See also
https://www.ipslasers.com/data-sheets/SM-TO-56-Data-Sheet-IPS.pdf

The official IPS conversion from thermistor resistance (in ohms) to degC is:

1 / (   C1
      + C2 * ln(ohms)
      + C3 * pow(ln(ohms), 3)
    )
- 273.15

Where: C1 = 0.00113
       C2 = 0.000234
       C3 = 8.78e-8

That said, on XS the IPS thermistor then goes through a MAX1978ETM-T TEC IC which buffers the thermistor voltage. This requires the additional empirically-determined static conversion captured below.

Regrettably, the laser thermistor voltage on 110280 boards overflows the ADC range, so we don't currently have valid laser temperature read-out with those PCBs.

Ondax MML

On MML units using the Ondax OEM Module, the cable to the 220060 does not seem to pass-through the thermistor pin, so we don't have laser temperature read-out on those, either. (Nor photodiode...)

RealLight

RealLight SML thermistors use the following resistance and beta:

Thermistor Rt (kΩ / β(25°C)): 10±5% / 3450

Therefore you can convert the raw thermistor ADC reading to degrees Celsius:

  1. Convert raw ADC to voltage:

    voltage = 2.5 * raw / 4096

  2. Convert voltage to resistance (assuming 2.5v reference)

    resistance = 21450.0 * voltage / (2.5 - voltage)

  3. Convert resistance to Kelvin:

    1/T = (1/T0) + (1/β) * ln(R/R0) 1 = T((1/T0) + (1/β) * ln(R/10)) T = 1/((1/T0) + (1/β) * ln(R/10))

Where:

T: is the temperature in Kelvin T0: is a reference temperature (usually 25°C or 298.15K) β: is the beta value of the thermistor (a constant indicating the relationship between resistance and temperature) R: is the measured resistance of the thermistor R0: is the resistance of the thermistor at the reference temperature T0

Kelvin = 1/((1/298.15) + (1/3450) * ln(resistance/10))

  1. Convert Kelvin to degrees Celsius:

    degC = Kelvin - 273.15

It is important to understand that the UNIT of this value changes between Hamamatsu and IMX detectors, but the DATATYPE does not.

Reasonable gain levels for Hamamatsu are a floating-point scalar, literally used to scale (gain) the signal, and are usually in the range (0.8 .. 1.2) or thereabouts.

Reasonable levels for IMX sensors are in dB and vary by detector, but are usually in the range (0.0 .. 31.0), with exactly 0.1dB precision. The spectrometer's FW will round to the nearest setting (1.23 will be rounded to 1.2). IMX sensors switch from "analog gain" to "digital gain" above a given threshold...on the IMX123, analog gain is 0.0 - 31.0, and digital is 31.1 - 72.0 (I think).

◆ set_laser_power_high_resolution()

wasatch.FeatureIdentificationDevice.FeatureIdentificationDevice.set_laser_power_high_resolution ( self,
bool flag )

Sets whether the PWM pulse period is 1000µs (high-resolution, default) or 100µs (low-resolution, legacy).

Parameters
flag(Input) True for 1000µs PWM period (high-resolution, default), False for 100µs (low-resolution)

Laser power is controlled via PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), essentially a square wave whose "duty cycle" (high vs low), expressed as a percentage, represents the amount of time the laser is actually firing. If the duty cycle is 33%, the laser will be firing 1/3 of the time, representing approximately one-third of "full power".

(It's not "exactly" one-third because the laser needs a moment to stablize when energized, and that "start-up" instability is increased when you're constantly pulsing the laser on-and-off.)

This function is used to determine the LENGTH (period) of that PWM square wave. Because the laser's PWM parameters are all specified in microseconds (µs), a longer period allows greater precision (resolution) in specifying the duty cycle.

Historically, Wasatch spectrometers used a PWM period of 100µs, meaning the pulse width (time each wave was high) could only be set from 1-99µs, giving an essential laser power resolution of 1%. That behavior can be restored by setting this value False.

More recently, we've increased the default PWM pulse period to 1000µs (1ms). Since the pulse width is still set in µs, that allows an effective laser power resolution of 0.1%. This is the new default, and can be explicitly requested by setting this value to True.

Warning
Note that this function is provided for cases where the laser power is set as a percentage. When setting laser power through milliWatts, using the onboard laser power calibration, it is important to use the same resolution as was in effect when the calibration was generated. All Wasatch laser power calibrations are generated in "high-resolution," so this function SHOULD NOT be set "False" (low-res) if setting laser power in mW.

◆ set_laser_power_perc_immediate()

wasatch.FeatureIdentificationDevice.FeatureIdentificationDevice.set_laser_power_perc_immediate ( self,
float value )

Sets laser power (modulated pulse width) which will be used next time the laser is turned on (or changed immediately, if the laser is already enabled).

Laser power is determined by a combination of the pulse width, period and modulation being enabled. There are many combinations of these values that will produce a given percentage of the total laser power through pulse width modulation. There is no 'get laser power' control message on the device.

Some of the goals of Enlighten are for it to be stable, and a reason we have sales. During spectrometer builds, it was discovered that the laser power settings were not implemented. During the implementation process, it was discovered that the laser modulation, pulse period and pulse width commands do not conform to specification. Where you can set integration time 100 ms with the command:

device.ctrl_transfer(bmRequestType=device_to_host, bRequest=0xDB, wValue=100, wIndex=0, data_or_wLength=0)

The laser pulse period must be set where the wValue and data_or_wLength parameters are equal. So if you wanted a pulse period of 100, you must specify the value in both places:

... wValue=100, data_or_wLength=100) ...

This in turn implies that the legacy firmware has a long masked issue when reading the value to update from the data_or_wLength parameter instead of the wValue field. This is only accurate for the laser modulation related functions.

This is backed up by the Dash v3 StrokerControl DLL implementation. It was discovered that the StrokerControl DLL sets the wValue and data or wLength parameters to the same value at every control message write.

The exciting takeaway here is that Enlighten is stable enough. Turning the laser on with the data or wLength parameter not set correctly will cause a hardware failure and complete device lockup requiring a power cycle.

fid: CRITICAL Hardware Failure FID Send Code Problem with ctrl transfer: [Errno None] 11

Unlike Dash which may lockup and require killing the application, Enlighten does not lock up. The Enlighten code base has now been used to unmask an issue that has been lurking with our legacy firmware for close to 6 years. We've detected this out of specification area of the code before it can adversely impact a customer. """

As long as laser power is modulated using a period of 100us, with a necessarily-integral pulse width of 1-99us, then it's not physically possible to support fractional power levels.

Todo

int ms )

◆ set_raman_mode_enable_NOT_USED()

wasatch.FeatureIdentificationDevice.FeatureIdentificationDevice.set_raman_mode_enable_NOT_USED ( self,
bool flag )

Enable "Raman mode" (automatic laser) in the spectrometer firmware.

◆ set_selected_laser()

wasatch.FeatureIdentificationDevice.FeatureIdentificationDevice.set_selected_laser ( self,
int value )

On spectrometers supporting two lasers, select the primary (0) or secondary (1).

Laser Enable, laser power etc should all then affect the currently-selected laser.

Warning
conflicts with GET_RAMAN_MODE_ENABLE

◆ set_shutter_enable()

wasatch.FeatureIdentificationDevice.FeatureIdentificationDevice.set_shutter_enable ( self,
bool flag )

◆ set_single_region()

wasatch.FeatureIdentificationDevice.FeatureIdentificationDevice.set_single_region ( self,
int n )

This function uses the the multi-region feature to select just a single pre-configured region at a time.

Whichever region is selected, that region's parameters are written to "region 0" of the spectrometer, and the global wavecal is updated to use that region's calibration.

Todo
consider clear_region() function to restore physical ROI to (0, active_vertical_pixels, 0, active_horizontal_pixels) (leave wavecal alone?)

◆ set_strobe_enable()

wasatch.FeatureIdentificationDevice.FeatureIdentificationDevice.set_strobe_enable ( self,
bool flag )

this is a synonym for _set_laser_enable_immediate(), but without side-effects

◆ set_tec_enable()

wasatch.FeatureIdentificationDevice.FeatureIdentificationDevice.set_tec_enable ( self,
bool flag )
Todo
rename set_detector_tec_enable

◆ set_trigger_delay()

wasatch.FeatureIdentificationDevice.FeatureIdentificationDevice.set_trigger_delay ( self,
float half_us )

A confenurable delay from when an inbound trigger signal is received by the spectrometer, until the triggered acquisition actually starts.

Default value is 0us.

Unit is in 0.5 microseconds (500ns), so value of 25 would represent 12.5us.

Value is 24bit, so max value is 16777216 (8.388608 sec).

Like triggering, only currently supported on ARM.

◆ set_trigger_source()

wasatch.FeatureIdentificationDevice.FeatureIdentificationDevice.set_trigger_source ( self,
bool value )

Set the source for incoming acquisition triggers.

Parameters
valueeither 0 for "internal" or 1 for "external" With internal triggering (the default), the spectrometer expects the USB host to explicitly send a START_ACQUISITION (ACQUIRE) opcode to begin each integration. In external triggering, the spectrometer waits for the rising edge on a signal connected to a pin on the OEM accessory connector. Technically on ARM, the microcontroller is continuously monitoring both the external pin and listening for internal software opcodes. On the FX2 you need to explicitly place the microcontroller into external triggering mode to avail the feature.

◆ set_vertical_roi()

wasatch.FeatureIdentificationDevice.FeatureIdentificationDevice.set_vertical_roi ( self,
roi )

◆ update_firmware_log()

wasatch.FeatureIdentificationDevice.FeatureIdentificationDevice.update_firmware_log ( self)

◆ update_laser_watchdog()

wasatch.FeatureIdentificationDevice.FeatureIdentificationDevice.update_laser_watchdog ( self)

Automatically set the laser watchdog long enough to handle the current integration time, assuming we have to perform 6 throwaways on the sensor in case it went to sleep.

Note
we are not currently using this function

◆ update_session_eeprom()

wasatch.FeatureIdentificationDevice.FeatureIdentificationDevice.update_session_eeprom ( self,
tuple[str, EEPROM] pair )

Given a (serial_number, EEPROM) pair, update this process's "session" EEPROM with just the EDITABLE fields of the passed EEPROM.

◆ update_vertical_roi()

wasatch.FeatureIdentificationDevice.FeatureIdentificationDevice.update_vertical_roi ( self)

◆ write_eeprom()

wasatch.FeatureIdentificationDevice.FeatureIdentificationDevice.write_eeprom ( self)

Actually store the current session EEPROM fields to the spectrometer.
