Cheetah - data processing
Cheetah - data processing
Dark and gain corrections, cspad common mode corrections, pnCCD corrections
Conversion from ADU to photon counts
Per-pixel histograms for detector characterisation
Instrument background correction
Persistent background correction
Local background subtraction
Radial background subtraction
Polarisation correction
Sorting of data
Sort pump-probe data into laser-on and laser-off states
Sorting by event code or other criteria
Data reduction
Radial stacks for use in SAXS/WAXS analysis (radial line out for each event, sorted)
Per pixel histograms of the entire detector (for detector calibration and characterisation)
Peak lists (location of all found peaks)
Compilation of powder patterns (sums of data in a run, sorted)
Diagnostics synchronised by event for subsequent sorting
Timing tool for Femtosecond pump-probe timing (trace of femtosecond timetool matched with events)
Per-shot photon spectrum
Cheetah results saved in separate HDF5 file
Detector frame (usually hits) saved in HDF5 (format: standard .cxi files)
Diagnostic data in HDF5 format synchronised by event
Many of these can be performed at the same time by adding lines to the .ini files; only a few cases are mutually exclusive.
