Detector

The Eiger area detector, the fluorescence detector for energy / edge selection, the on-axis beamstop, and the beam-position and flux monitors. PVs verified against the amx-profile-collection startup files.

Enclosure: 17-ID-B.

Note

The Eiger reads the rotation diffraction data; the Mercury multi-element detector reads fluorescence for energy-edge selection (anomalous MX); both bind catalog Families. The full detector roster (Eiger model, beam centre, fluorescence ROIs) is DET-1.

Name Family PV Key specs Replaceable Status
AreaDetector Camera confirm: the MX science detector (an Eiger pixel-array detector); its PV is not exposed in the AMX profile collection (DET-1)
The Eiger area detector reading the rotation diffraction data. Reuses the Camera family (Detector Role). Not exposed in the profile collection, so model and beam centre are pending (DET-1).

FluorescenceDetector EnergyDispersiveSpectrometer XF:17IDB-ES:AMX{Det:Mer} Mercury multi-element fluorescence detector (an energy-dispersive multi-channel analyzer reading the XRF spectrum to pick the absorption edge for anomalous data collection). Reuses the EnergyDispersiveSpectrometer family. Element count and ROI map pending (DET-1). confirm
BeamStop BeamStop XF:17IDB-ES:AMX{BS:1 On-axis motorized beamstop (XF:17IDB-ES:AMX{BS:1-Ax:FX / FY}Mtr) blocking the direct beam ahead of the Eiger. Reuses the BeamStop family. confirm
BeamPositionMonitor PositionMonitor XF:17IDA-BI:AMX{BPM:1} Beam-position monitors along the beam (XF:17IDA-BI:AMX{BPM:1}, XF:17IDB-BI:AMX{BPM:2 / BPM:3} four-quadrant monitors). Binds the graduated PositionMonitor Family (a consumer alongside the other NSLS-II beamlines; DIAG-1). confirm
FluxMonitor FluxMonitor XF:17IDB-BI:AMX{Keith:1}readFloat Keithley picoammeter reading the beam-intensity photocurrent (I0 normalization). Reuses the FluxMonitor family. confirm
