Andor Tango device ===================== This is the reference documentation of the Andor Tango device. you can also find some useful information about prerequisite/installation/configuration/compilation in the :ref:`Andor camera plugin ` section. Properties ---------- ================= =============== =============== ========================================================================= Property name Mandatory Default value Description ================= =============== =============== ========================================================================= adc_speed No max. The adc/Horiz. speed pair baseline_clamp No Off Clamping for baseline threshold, ON or OFF camera_number No N/A The camera number, default is 0 cooler No Off Start/stop the cooling system of the camera mode config_path No N/A The configuration path, for linux default is /usr/local/etc/andor fast_ext_trigger No Off Fast external trigger mode, see Andor documentation for usage fan_mode No N/A FAN mode, FAN_ON_FULL/FAN_ON_LOW/FAN_OFF high_capacity No High_capacity Camera can run in two modes, HIGH_CAPACITY or HIGH_SENSITIVITY p_gain No max. The preamplifier gain [X1-Xn] (see detector spec.) shutter_level No High The shutter output level mode temperature_sp No N/A The temperature setpoint in Celsius vs_speed No fasten The vertical shift speed (see detector spec.) ================= =============== =============== ========================================================================= Attributes ---------- ======================= ======= ======================= ====================================================================== Attribute name RW Type Description ======================= ======= ======================= ====================================================================== adc_speed rw DevString The ADC and Horizontal shift speed, in ADCchannel/Freq.Mhz, check the documentatio for more help **(\*)** baseline_clamp rw DevString The baseline clamping for threshold: **(\*\*)** - **ON** - **OFF** cooler rw DevString Start/stop the cooling system of the camera mode: - **ON**, the cooler is started - **OFF**, the cooler is stopped cooling_status ro DevString The status of the cooling system, tell if the setpoint temperature is reached fan_mode rw DevString The FAN mode for extra-cooling: **(\*\*)** - **FAN_OFF** - **FAN_ON_FULL** - **FAN_ON_LOW** fast_ext_trigger rw DevString Fast external trigger mode, see Andor documentation for usage Mode are: - **ON**, fast mode, the camera will not wait until the a keep clean cycle has been completed before accepting the next trigger - **OFF**, slow mode high_capacity rw DevString Off/On the High Capacity mode: **(\*\*)** - **HIGH_CAPACITY** - **HIGH_SENSITIVITY** p_gain rw DevString The preamplifier gain from X1 to Xn (see detector spec.) **(\*)** shutter_level rw DevString The shutter output level mode: - **LOW"**, output TTL low signal to open shutter - **HIGH**, output TTL high signal to open shutter temperature ro DevShort The current sensor temperature in Celsius temperature_sp rw DevShort The temperature setpoint in Celsius timing ro Spectrum The exposure and latency times vs_speed rw DevString The vertical shift speed, in us/pixel **(\*)** ======================= ======= ======================= ====================================================================== **(\*)** Use the command getAttrStringValueList to get the list of the supported value for these attributes. **(\*\*)** These attributes can not be supported by some camera models and the return value will be set to **UNSUPPORTED**.
