What is Pylatus

Pylatus is beamline control software for diffractometers based on Dectris Pilatus detectors and ICEPAP motor controls originally developed for the BM01 beamline at SNBL@ESRF.

Pylatus beamlines

Currently, Pylatus is working at the following ESRF beamlines:

• BM01 --- Swiss-Norwegian CRG beamline (diffraction)
• BM31 --- Swiss-Norwegian CRG beamline (diffraction and EXAFS)
• ID28 --- Side station of the Inelastic Scattering beamline
• BM20 --- The Rossendorf CRG Beamline

Why Pylatus?

Pylatus is trying to combine a simple and easy-to-learn interface together with complexity required for modern synchrotron experiments. User can collect individual or multiple datasets for single crystals or powders using GUI but more advanced options for complicated data collection are also available (see scripting in Python).

Pylatus gives total control over beamline starting up from the optics (mirrors and monochromators) down to the sample environment. It includes a lot of batteries, such as:

• Kappa or chi goniometer for single crystal and powder experiments. Infinite spinner is also available.
• All motor views and controls, moving motors relatively and absolutely.
• Pseudo-motors (such as energy, wavelength or grouped motions).
• Continuous scans (1D or meshes) for all motors using as counters:
  • any SPEC counters;
  • Silicon diodes connected to nano-ammeters (currently, only Keithley 6485 is supported);
  • Pilatus detector itself (summing up all pixels on the frame using AVX512, AVX or SSE4 intrinsics if available);
• Beamline auto-alignment (using routine scenarios, like scanning a motor and positioning it to the intensity maximum value);
• Automatic beamstop search on the measured frames (using AVX512, AVX or SSE4 intrinsics if available; calibration required).
• Automatic storing experimental values (temperature, pressure, voltage, etc.) into the headers of the output CBF files.
• Powerful scripting in Python for complex experimental scenarios and sequences.
• Native control of the sample environment devices, such as:
  • Eurotherm nanodac and 2408 for high temperatures;
  • Oxford Cryostream devices for low temperatures;
  • Lakeshore 3xx for helium temperatures;
  • ISEG high voltage;
  • Keithley 2200 low voltage;
• Implementation of the ESRF data policy.
• Possibility to connect to SPEC sessions and run everything available from SPEC.

Pylatus source code

Pylatus is free and open source software (under GPLv3 license), the source code can be found in the Pylatus git repository.

Pylatus is mainly written in C++ but it has some modules written in pure C and Rust. Pylatus depends on Qt5 (min version 5.12). Pylatus contains additional daemons, such as:

• dcubroker - a daemon running on the Dectris DCU. It collects cbf files from the camserver and sends them to Pylatus (written in Rust).
• icepapd - a daemon running the ESRF ICEPAP crates (written in Rust).

Technical details

Pylatus is dynamically linked against a local version of Python, but only Python>=3.6 is supported. If you do not want to use any Python scripting in Pylatus, it should be compiled with -DNO_PYTHON=1.

Thus, Python in Pylatus is the same interpreter which is installed in your system, and you can import any module which is installed for you system interpreter, i.e. this would work

import numpy as np

if you have numpy installed. Pylatus extends the system modules with a few objects specific for a typical diffraction experiment.

It is important to note that the Pylatus do not run the script immediately but creates a sequence of actions which can be inspected by user and run after.

diffractometer

The main object which allows to script diffraction scan. (Diffractometer script source code)

In Pylatus Script editor the diffractometer object is already imported into Python interpreter, but if you have external .py files, then you can import it as:

from pylatus_diffractometer import PyDiffractometer

diffractometer = PyDiffractometer()

Macros example can be found in here: https://git.3lp.cx/dyadkin/bm01macros/src/branch/master/lab6.py

Instance methods:

• scan
• sleep
• abort
• setPhiScan
• setOmegaScan
• align
• setDet (BM31 only)

Usage Examples

scan

diffractometer.scan(
    *,
    folder=None,
    filename=None,
    nperiods=None,
    nframes=None,
    exposure=None,
    start=None,
    step=None,
    omega=None,
    dOmega=None,
    omegaEnd=None,
    phi=None,
    phiEnd=None,
    kappa=None,
    kappaEnd=None,
    pldistf=None,
    pldistd=None,
    plrot=None,
    plvert=None,
    nop=False
)

Creates a data collection sequence action. This method accepts only the keyword arguments. If an argument is not set, its value is taken from the main Pylatus window, from the "Set diffraction experiment" widget (excluding nop argument).

The method parameters are the following:

• folder: string which specifies the directory where the data will be stored;
• filename: string with file base name;
• exposure: exposure time in seconds, float number;
• nframes: number of frames, integer number;
• nperiods: number of periods, integer number;
• start: starting value for scanning motor (synonymous for omega for an abstract beamline)
• step: step value for scan (synonymous for dOmega and angleStep for an abstract beamline)
• dOmega: angular step in degrees per image for omega axis, float number.
• omega: starting angle in degrees for omega axis when omega-scan is set or just omega position if phi-scan is set, float number;
• omegaEnd: end omega angle in degrees for psi scan, float number;
• phi: starting angle in degrees for phi axis when phi-scan is set or just phi position
• phiEnd: end phi angle in degrees for psi scan, float number; if omega-scan is set, float number;
• kappa: kappa angle in degrees, float number;
• kappaEnd: end kappa angle in degrees for psi scan, float number;
• pldistd: position of the detector inside the frame in mm, float number;
• pldistf: position of the frame in mm, float number;
• plrot: detector angle in degrees, float number;
• plvert: vertical offset of the detector in mm, float number;
• nop: bool, stands for no periods: if False the filename parameter will be extended with the period number, i.e. filename_0001p.cbf; if True just filename will be used, i.e. filename.cbf.

sleep

diffractometer.sleep(seconds)

Creates a sequence action to sleep: diffractometer does not do any action for a number of seconds.

abort

diffractometer.abort()

Creates a sequence action to abort the current diffraction data collection. Useful when data are collected periodically and user wants to stop it automatically when the temperature ramp is done.

setPhiScan

diffractometer.setPhiScan()

Creates a sequence action to set phi axis as the main scanning axis. In this case, the angular step will be called dPhi, since 2021-04-01 or dOmega for older version. Attention: if you switch omega and phi scans in the script, you HAVE TO specify
both omega= and phi= parameters in the diffractometer.scan method.

setPsiScan

diffractometer.setPsiScan()

Creates a sequence action to set psi axis as the main scanning axis.

setOmegaScan

diffractometer.setOmegaScan()

Creates a sequence action to set omega axis as the main scanning axis. Attention: if you switch omega and phi scans in the script, you HAVE TO specify
both omega= and phi= parameters in the diffractometer.scan method.

align

diffractometer.align()

Create a sequence action for the diffractometer auto alignment procedure. All the values must be set in the Guru option Autoscan before using this method.

setDet (BM31 only)

diffractometer.setDetX(value)
diffractometer.setDetY(value)
diffractometer.setDetZ(value)
diffractometer.setDetR(value)

Sets GUI field for detector position in the Pylatus main window to the value.

Usage examples:

diffractometer.setOmegaScan()
diffractometer.scan(folder="omega_scan", phi=0, omega=-55, dOmega=1, nperiods=10)
diffractometer.setPhiScan()
diffractometer.scan(folder="phi_scan", phi=0, omega=-55, dPhi=1, nframes=5)

motor

motor("name")

The object which allows to script individual motor motions, where name is name of the motor. (Motor script source code)

In Pylatus Script editor the motor object is already imported into Python interpreter, but if you have external .py files, then you can import it as:

from auxygen_motors import PyMotors

motor = PyMotors()

Macros example https://git.3lp.cx/dyadkin/bm31macros/src/branch/master/mono.py

Instance methods:

• move
• moveRelative
• wait
• position
• isAt

Usage Examples

move

motor("name").move(position, *, now=False)

creates a sequence action for the motor name to move it to the absolute position.

If now=True, then it does not create the sequence action but moves the motor immediately (recommended only for very advanced users).

moveRelative

motor("name").moveRelative(position, *, now=False)

creates a sequence action for the motor name to move it to the relative position.

If now=True, then it does not create the sequence action but moves the motor immediately (recommended only for very advanced users).

wait

motor.wait(*, now=False)

Creates a sequence action to wait until all the moving motors reach desirable positions.

If now=True blocks the script immediately and waits until all the motor finish (recommended only for very advanced users). It does not need a motor name.

position

motor('name').position() -> float

Returns current position of the motor name. (recommended only for very advanced users)

isAt

motor('name').isAt(position) -> bool

Calculates whether the motor name is at the position taking into account the motor precision. (recommended only for very advanced users)

Usage examples:

# move motors to the starting positions
motor('omega').move(0)
motor('phi').move(90)
motor('kappa').move(-55)
motor('gon1').move(-55)
# wait until all the motor reach starting positions
motor.wait()
# make a scan
diffractometer.scan()

cryostream

The object which operates the Cryostream gas blower. (Cryostream script source code)

In Pylatus Script editor the blower object is already imported into Python interpreter, but if you have external .py files, then you can import it as:

from auxygen_cryostream import PyCryostream

cryostream = PyCryostream()

Instance methods:

• cool
• ramp
• end
• wait

cool

cryostream.cool(temperature)

Creates a sequence action to cool the cryostream to the temperature as quick as possible. Temperature interval is from 80 K to 500 K (float).

ramp

cryostream.ramp(temperature, ramp_rate)

Creates a sequence action to ramp the cryostream to the temperature with the ramp rate of ramp_rate. Temperature interval is from 80 K to 500 K (float), ramp rate is from 1 to 360 K/hour.

end

cryostream.end(ramp_rate)

Creates a sequence action to ramp the cryostream to the room temperature the ramp rate ramp_rate and switches it off. Ramp rate is from 1 to 360 K/hour.

wait

cryostream.wait()

Creates a sequence action for cryostream to wait until it reaches the temperature specified by one of the previous commands.

blower

The object which operates the Eurotherm controlling a standard ESRF hot gas blower or the Hermann's heater. (Blower script source code)

In Pylatus Script editor the blower object is already imported into Python interpreter, but if you have external .py files, then you can import it as:

from auxygen_blower import PyBlower

blower = PyBlower()

Instance methods:

• ramp
• wait

ramp

blower.ramp(temperature, ramp_rate)

Creates a sequence action to ramp the blower to the temperature with the ramp rate of ramp_rate. Temperature interval is from 20 C to 1000 C (float), ramp rate is from 1 to 1000 C/min.

wait

blower.wait(temperature=None)

Creates a sequence action to wait for the temperature specified in the blower.ramp. If the optional parameter temperature (float) is not None, then blower waits until temperature is reached.

For some samples (often damaged by x-rays) it is useful not to measure all the time but at certain temperatures without stopping the ramp, i.e.

blower.ramp(1000, 10)
for t in range(100, 1001, 10):
    blower.wait(t)
    diffractometer.scan()

Then we would measure diffraction every 10 C with permanent ramp.

lakeshore

The object which operates the Lakeshore temperature controller. (Lakeshore script source code)

In Pylatus Script editor the lakeshore object is already imported into Python interpreter, but if you have external .py files, then you can import it as:

from auxygen_lakeshore import PyLakeshore

lakeshore = PyLakeshore()

Instance methods:

• setpoint
• ramp
• range
• heater
• pid
• wait

setpoint

lakeshore.setpoint(output, target)

Creates a sequence action to set target temperature (in K) for the lakeshore at the output (usually 1 or 2).

ramp

lakeshore.ramp(output, state, value)

Creates a sequence action to set value temperature ramp (in K/min) for the lakeshore at the output (usually 1 or 2) depending on the state value which can be False (switch off ramp) or True (switch on ramp).

range

lakeshore.range(output, range)

Creates a sequence action to set the heater range at the output. range can be either one of the following values:

• 0 - Off
• 1 - Low
• 2 - Medium
• 3 - High

wait

lakeshore.wait()

Creates a sequence action for the Lakeshore to wait for the temperature set with lakeshore.setpoint.

iseg

The object which operates the ISEG high voltage device. (Iseg script source code)

In Pylatus Script editor the iseg object is already imported into Python interpreter, but if you have external .py files, then you can import it as:

from auxygen_iseg import PyIseg

iseg = PyIseg()

Instance methods:

• setVoltage
• ramp
• wait

setVoltage

iseg.setVoltage(voltage, ramp_rate)

Creates a sequence action to set the voltage value with the ramp_rate. Maximum voltage depends on the model (usually 2000 V). Ramp rate is from 2 to 255 V/s.

setCurrent

keithley.setCurrent(current)

Creates a sequence action to set current value in A at the Keithley output.

stop

keithley.stop()

spec

The object which connects to a SPEC session and runs macros in there. (Spec script source code)

In Pylatus Script editor the spec object is already imported into Python interpreter, but if you have external .py files, then you can import it as:

from auxygen_spec import PySpec

spec = PySpec()

Important: unlike other objects, spec does not create a sequence action but runs directly and immediately, i.e. it changes the Pylatus script editor to a prompt, then the Python interpreter blocks until the spec command is finished. If you need to run a spec macro as a sequence action, consider using to_sequence decorator.

Macros example https://git.3lp.cx/dyadkin/bm31macros/src/branch/master/spec.py

Instance methods

• __init__
• run

__init__

You can create a spec connection as:

s = spec('host:session')

Since creation of the connection is expensive and time-consuming operation, Pylatus puts them in a cache for future reuse.

run

spec('bm31spec2:experiment').run('ct 1')

Runs a spec command immediately and blocks until it is finished. You can abort the command at any moment.

to_sequence

to_sequence is a decorator to put a block of Python code into a sequence action. (to_sequence source code)

In Pylatus Script editor the to_sequence decorator is already imported into Python interpreter, but if you have external .py files, then you can import it as:

from auxygen_seq import to_sequence

Usages example https://git.3lp.cx/dyadkin/bm01macros/src/branch/master/musst.py

Explanation

Imagine we have a function which connects to spec and runs a macro there. In our case, we have a spec macro chan_on which turns on a channel chan on the MUSST card:

def musst_chan_on(chan):
    spec('snbla2:rhmusst').run(f'chan_on {chan}')

If we call this function as is

musst_chan_on(8)

it will turn on TTL signal on our MUSST. But we may want to put our spec command into the sequence, then we could write it like:

@to_sequence
def musst_chan_on(chan):
    '''Musst turns channel 'chan' ON'''
    spec('snbla2:rhmusst').run(f'chan_on {chan}')

After that, calling

musst_chan_on(8)

it will create a sequence action instead of running it immediately.

Format doc strings

You can use Qt format strings to add some info into sequence action:

@to_sequence
def musst_chan_on(chan, time):
    '''Musst turns channel '%1' for %2 seconds'''
    spec('snbla2:rhmusst').run(f'chan_on {chan}')
    from time import sleep
    sleep(time)
    spec('snbla2:rhmusst').run(f'chan_off {chan}')

which will generate an action as following:

%1 will be substituted with the first argument value, %2 with the second one, etc., up to 9 arguments are allowed.

Limitations

Due to fragile substance of the decorator there are certain limitations on its usage:

• Only a top level function with only positional arguments can be decorated. Classes, methods, metaclasses, lambdas, closures or other smart thing will not work, i.e.

@to_sequence
class TooSmart:  # wrong! classes cannot be decorated
    pass


class EvenSmarter(TooSmart):
    @to_sequence
    def cool_method(self):  # wrong! methods cannot be decorated
        pass


@to_sequence
def silly_function():
    '''I am a very silly function'''  # ok!

@to_sequence
def silly_function(a=1): # wrong! keyword arguments are not allowed
    '''I am another very silly function'''  


@to_sequence
def smart_function():
    '''I am a very smart function'''
    @to_sequence
    def silly_function():  # wrong! closures cannot be decorated
        '''I am a very silly function'''

• The decorated function can get any number of positional arguments (no keywords), but they must be either:

  • strings,
  • integer numbers,
  • float numbers.

  More complicated data structures (i.e. dicts, lists, other objects) will not work:

@to_sequence
def spec_hello(greet, num):  # <--- ok!
    '''Prints `greet` `num` times in spec'''
    spec('bm31spec2:experiment').run(f'for (i=0; i<{num}; i++) print({greet});')


@to_sequence
def spec_run_all(list_of_commands):  # <--- wrong! python list (or any Iterable) cannot be an argument
    '''Runs list of commands in spec'''
    for command in list_of_commands:
        spec('bm31spec2:experiment').run(f'{command}')

• The decorated function must have a doc-string, which will be used as a part of the sequence action name.

@to_sequence
def silly_function():
    '''I am a very silly function'''  # ok!


@to_sequence
def dummy_function():
    return None  # wrong! there is no doc string

• The decorated function cannot capture anything from the outer scope, i.e. neither imports, nor variables, nor other functions or types:

from time import sleep

sleep_time = 5


@to_sequence
def spec_sleep1():
    '''Block spec prompt for 5 seconds'''
    sleep(sleep_time)  # wrong! sleep and sleep_time cannot be captured from the outer scope


@to_sequence
def spec_sleep2(sleep_time):
    '''Block spec prompt for `%1` seconds'''
    from time import sleep
    sleep(sleep_time)  # ok, sleep is imported inside the function, sleep_time is an argument

If you find these limitations too strict, your patches eliminating them are always welcome.

log

The object which puts a message into Pylatus log window and, consequently, into Pylatus log file. (log script source code)

In Pylatus Script editor the log object is already imported into Python interpreter, but if you have external .py files, then you can import it as:

from auxygen_log import PyLogger

log = PyLogger()

Important: unlike other objects, log does not create a sequence action but runs directly and immediately, i.e. it changes the Pylatus script editor to a prompt, then the Python interpreter blocks until the spec command is finished. If you need to run a log macro as a sequence action, consider using to_sequence decorator.

Instance methods

• info
• warn
• error

info

log.info("Simple info message")

Prints an info message into Pylatus log window and, consequently, into Pylatus log file.

warn

log.warn("Warning message")

Prints a warning message into Pylatus log window and, consequently, into Pylatus log file.

error

log.error("Error message")

Prints an error message into Pylatus log window and, consequently, into Pylatus log file.

brainboxes

The object which operates the remote IO BrainBoxes devices. (BrainBoxes script source code)

In Pylatus Script editor the brainboxes object is already imported into Python interpreter, but if it is going to be called from an external .py file, then the manual import is needed:

from auxygen_brainboxes import PyBrainBoxes
brainboxes = PyBrainBoxes()

Instance methods:

• setInput

setInput

brainboxes.setInput(address, channel, value, *, timeout=0, now=False)

Creates a sequence action (if now==False) which sets the input channel of a BrainBoxes device with address to value. The value equals to 0 is interpreted as off, anything else is on. If timeout is not 0, then the input will be set to the inverted value after timeout milliseconds.

If now==True, the sequence action is not created, but the command is run immediately (no sequence action mode).

  • Add support for tif files with 32 and 64 signed integers (mainly tested with files produced by Dectris Pilatus).

• 2020.5.17 - v3.1.0:

  • Add the 'None' beamline: the images are shown and integrated 'as is' without applying any transformations. This beamline type has to be chosen in case if the data are not measured neither on SNBL-BM01@ESRF nor Dubble@ESRF.
  • When both radial and azimuthal ranges were applied, the final integration pattern could have been calculated incorrectly. Fixed.
  • Fix crashes of the client on linux.
  • Save mask ROI separately in the client.
  • Save mask in Fit2D format. Then it can be reused in Fit2D or pyFAI. The beamline should be set to None then.
  • When an integrated 2D pattern (or a mask image) is zoomed enough then the pixel intensity is shown for all the visible pixels.

• 2020.2.7 - v3.0.0:

  • The server is rewritten in the Rust programming language. The integration speed increased up to 20% and the memory consumption decreased about two times.
  • On-line integration is now available on the all three main platforms, monitor and photo counters and transmission are correctly taken into account.
  • Integrator can now average files by a number given by user. The averaging happens per directory. Contradicting issues between the on-line integration and the averaging are quite expected and cannot be avoided.
  • In the client it is again possible to set logarithmic scale for the axes in 2D plots.
  • The server can run as a normal UNIX daemon (forking, logging, etc).
  • Minor usability fixes in the client.
  • Qt updated to v5.14.1

• 2019.7.30 - v2.0.0:

  • The client is rewritten in C++.
  • New widgets for 1D and 2D plots. To rescale the values for 2D plots, please, use the mouse wheel and dragging on the colorbar. The right button allows to change the color scheme.
  • The mask is now plotted using polygon lines (like in Fit2D), double click finishes the mask shape. The mask can be dragged or removed (via the context menu).
  • The issue, when a few overlapping polygons produce gaps in the final mask, has been resolved.
  • Issues with discontinuity for azimuthal integration has been solved for angles 0, 90, 180, 270. The discontinuity for angle 360 still exists.
  • The client does not crash anymore when the number of bins set to 1.
  • The button with the server settings has been removed. Partially, those settings migrated to the advanced options, separately for SAXS and WAXS.

• 2018.11.28

  • Bugfix: fix multicolumn files.

• 2018.11.8.1

  • Support for new poni files from pyFAI-0.16.
  • Bugfix: saving mask with 'less' or 'more' values does not crash the client after reopen.
  • Bugfix: when WAXS is not normalized, the background was not properly subtracted.

• 2018.7.9

  • Hopefully, the final fix of crashes in Windows.
  • New mask: the saved mask file contains everything inside: both an image and ROIs which can be edited after load.

• 2018.6.21

  • Fix various Windows related bugs.

• 2018.6.8

  • Fix various client crashes.

• 2018.6.7

  • Fixing various bugs in the Windows version;
  • Fixing bugs with spline correction;
  • Correct calculation of the error bars for patterns normalized by the background;
  • bubbleg can be run with option -resize N, where is a number to bin images by NxN pixels; it decreases the image size which are to be transferred over the network. By default, N=1 in Linux and N=4 in Windows and macOS.

• 2018.3.7

  • Fixing issues with ellipsoidal mask in the client;
  • Bruker images;
  • Distortion correction for Frelon.

• 2018.2.22

  • New integration server written in Go, thus, the features are not yet supported:

    • Spline files for Frelon-like cameras;
    • Brueker images;

    If you need these features, please use an older version. Everything else should work as expected.

  • Bubble client shows the image after integration, which means, if radial or azimuthal limits are applied, then they will also be seen in the 2D plot;

  • Now it is possible to set both numbers of radial and azimuthal bins in the Options page, thus, bubble can save radially integrated patterns as a function of 2θ (Q), azimuthally integrated patterns as a function of χ and 2D-Cake images in CBF format;

  • Recursive integration: the bubble server integrates in the parent directory and in all the internal directories;

  • There is no need anymore to do start/stop, if the directory is the same: bubble not just waits for new files, but it also checks if the older files have changed and integrates them accordingly.

  • Mar Image Plate image support;

• 2017.10.22 (513b8fb114c6)

  • Bruker image support.

• 2017.10.21 (7c24e8753ce8)

  • Updated UI.
  • Fine integration tuning on the server tab:
    • Number of bins;
    • Polarization correction;
    • Solid angle correction;
    • Double precision.
  • Client checks updates.
  • Minor bug fixes.

• 2017.8.24 (70ff9f8e8d97)

  • If normalization is done not by monitor, then the Bubble does read the Flux value from the CBF header.
  • The options 'Speed' and 'Super speed' are applied on-line: there is no need to restart the integration process.
  • Minor bug fixes.
