Detailed Description

Base class for all Detectors attached to an Acqiris Instrument.

Todo:

this class can have the conatiner for all signal producers. It can also have the container for all particles and detectorhits. In case it is a tof detector it just won't have the px and py components and related values. This sig prod will just be call either "u1" .. so the map is of string,sigprod instead of char,sigprod. When changing this also change the directory structure by flatening it out so that one can call make -j. (Or create a .pro file for each subfolder)

Member Function Documentation

virtual void cass::ACQIRIS::DetectorBackend::associate ( const CASSEvent &  evt )

pure virtual

associate the event with this detector

retrieve all necessary information for this detector from the event. Needs to be implemented by the detector inheriting from this.

Parameters

evt	The event to take the data from

Implemented in cass::ACQIRIS::DelaylineDetector, and cass::ACQIRIS::TofDetector.

DetectorBackend::shared_pointer DetectorBackend::instance ( const DetectorType &  dettype, const std::string &  detname  )

static

create an instance of the requested dectortype

if the requested detector type is not known an exception will be thrown

Returns

an instance of the the requested detector type.

Parameters

dettype	type that the detector should have
detname	the name of the detector in the .ini file

Definition at line 17 of file detector_backend.cpp.

virtual void cass::ACQIRIS::DetectorBackend::loadSettings ( CASSSettings &  s )

pure virtual

load the settings of the detector

load the settings from the .ini file. Needs to be implemented by the detector that inherits from this.

Parameters

s	reference to the CASSSettings object

Implemented in cass::ACQIRIS::DelaylineDetector, and cass::ACQIRIS::TofDetector.

const std::string cass::ACQIRIS::DetectorBackend::name ( ) const

inline

return the detector name

virtual DetectorType cass::ACQIRIS::DetectorBackend::type ( )

pure virtual

retrieve what kind of detector this is

Implemented in cass::ACQIRIS::TofDetector.
