NXfermi_chopper¶
Status:
base class, extends NXobject
Description:
A Fermi chopper, possibly with curved slits.
Symbols:
No symbol table
- Groups cited:
Structure:
@default: (optional) NX_CHAR
Declares which child group contains a path leading to a NXdata group.
It is recommended (as of NIAC2014) to use this attribute to help define the path to the default dataset to be plotted. See https://www.nexusformat.org/2014_How_to_find_default_data.html for a summary of the discussion.
type: (optional) NX_CHAR
Fermi chopper type
rotation_speed: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_FREQUENCY}
chopper rotation speed
radius: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_LENGTH}
radius of chopper
slit: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_LENGTH}
width of an individual slit
r_slit: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_LENGTH}
radius of curvature of slits
number: (optional) NX_INT {units=NX_UNITLESS}
number of slits
height: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_LENGTH}
input beam height
width: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_LENGTH}
input beam width
distance: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_LENGTH}
distance. Note, it is recommended to use NXtransformations instead.
wavelength: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_WAVELENGTH}
Wavelength transmitted by chopper
energy: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_ENERGY}
energy selected
absorbing_material: (optional) NX_CHAR
absorbing material
transmitting_material: (optional) NX_CHAR
transmitting material
depends_on: (optional) NX_CHAR
NeXus positions components by applying a set of translations and rotations to apply to the component starting from 0, 0, 0. The order of these operations is critical and forms what NeXus calls a dependency chain. The depends_on field defines the path to the top most operation of the dependency chain or the string “.” if located in the origin. Usually these operations are stored in a NXtransformations group. But NeXus allows them to be stored anywhere.
GEOMETRY: (optional) NXgeometry
DEPRECATED: Use the field depends_on and NXtransformations to position the chopper and NXoff_geometry to describe its shape instead
geometry of the fermi chopper
OFF_GEOMETRY: (optional) NXoff_geometry
This group describes the shape of the beam line component
TRANSFORMATIONS: (optional) NXtransformations
This is the group recommended for holding the chain of translation and rotation operations necessary to position the component within the instrument. The dependency chain may however traverse similar groups in other component groups.
