Acquisition and control software


The acquisition software has been designed on the needs of XRF users.

Currently two systems are operating:

  • one developed by IAEA devoted mostly to XRF maps and XRR acquisition (based on LabView and operating on Windows);
  • a second one developed by Elettra mostly dedicated to XANES/EXAFS acquisition and for optics optimisation (based on Python and operating on Linux).

LabView GUI

A Tango-based command and data acquisition server coupled with a LabView GUI was specially developed to facilitate the control and operation of the instruments and X-ray detectors installed in the IAEAXspe end-station.

The User’s Manual relates the steps required to set the operational parameters for the various X-ray detectors and to customize single or multi-dimensional scan measurements with real-time visualization of the selected signals.

The software devoted to the XANES/EXAFS allows the users to choose between a constant or a variable energy step.

More details are available for users under the "Users procedures" tab.
