3.3.3.12. NXdeflector¶
Status:
base class, extends NXobject
Description:
Deflectors as they are used e.g. in an electron analyser.
Symbols:
No symbol table
- Groups cited:
Structure:
type: (optional) NX_CHAR
Qualitative type of deflector with respect to the number of pole pieces
Any of these values:
dipole|quadrupole|hexapole|octupolename: (optional) NX_CHAR
Colloquial or short name for the deflector. For manufacturer names and identifiers use respective manufacturer fields.
manufacturer_name: (optional) NX_CHAR
Name of the manufacturer who built/constructed the deflector.
manufacturer_model: (optional) NX_CHAR
Hardware name, hash identifier, or serial number that was given by the manufacturer to identify the deflector.
description: (optional) NX_CHAR
Ideally an identifier, persistent link, or free text which gives further details about the deflector.
voltage: (optional) NX_NUMBER {units=NX_VOLTAGE}
Excitation voltage of the deflector. For dipoles it is a single number. For higher orders, it is an array.
current: (optional) NX_NUMBER {units=NX_CURRENT}
Excitation current of the deflector. For dipoles it is a single number. For higher orders, it is an array.
depends_on: (optional) NX_CHAR
Specifies the position of the deflector by pointing to the last transformation in the transformation chain in the NXtransformations group.
TRANSFORMATIONS: (optional) NXtransformations
Collection of axis-based translations and rotations to describe the location and geometry of the deflector as a component in the instrument. Conventions from the NXtransformations base class are used. In principle, the McStas coordinate system is used. The first transformation has to point either to another component of the system or . (for pointing to the reference frame) to relate it relative to the experimental setup. Typically, the components of a system should all be related relative to each other and only one component should relate to the reference coordinate system.
