Shutters and Filters | ||
#################### | ||
|
||
A shutter is any device that has "shutters" in its `_ophyd_labels_` | ||
attribute. | ||

||
Automatic Shutter Control | ||
========================= | ||
|
||
To reduce radiation does, it is useful to include plans that | ||
automatically open and close the shutters as needed. Additionally, the | ||
run engine should be temporarily paused (suspeneded) when shutter | ||
permit is lost. | ||
|
||
Auto-Open Shutters | ||
------------------ | ||
|
||
In the case of **radiation-sensitive samples**, the experiment may | ||
require **keeping the shutter closed** except when collecting | ||
data. Haven includes two preprocessors that can be used to | ||
automatically open shutters that are closed: | ||
:py:func:`~haven.preprocessors.open_shutters_decorator` and | ||
:py:func:`~haven.preprocessors.open_shutters_wrapper`. Both the | ||
end-station PSS shutter, and a secondary fast shutter can both be left | ||
closed and then opened automatically only when needed for recording | ||
data. This feature is enabled by default on plans in | ||
:py:mod:`haven.plans` that trigger detectors (except for | ||
:py:func:`haven.plans.record_dark_current`). :py:mod:`~haven.plans` | ||
also includes wrapped versions of common Bluesky plans, like | ||
:py:func:`haven.plans.scan`. | ||
|
||
**Fast shutters** (those with ``"fast_shutters"`` in their | ||
`_ophyd_labels_` attribute) will be opened before each "trigger" | ||
message emitted by a plan, and closed after the subsequent "wait" | ||
message. The "wait" message's *group* will be tracked, ensuring that | ||
the fast shutters will only close after all triggers have been | ||
awaited. | ||
|
||
**Slow shutters** (those without ``"fast_shutters"`` in their | ||
`_ophyd_labels_` attribute) will be opened at the start of the wrapped | ||
plan, and closed again at the end. | ||
|
||
Shutters that are open at the start of the plan, or haven *allow_open* | ||
or *allow_close* set to ``False`` will be ignored. | ||
|
||
|
||
Record Ion Chamber Dark Current | ||
------------------------------- | ||
|
||
The :py:func:`~haven.plans.record_dark_current` plan accepts a | ||
sequence of shutter devices as an optional argument: *shutters*. Any | ||
devices included will automatically be closed before measuring the | ||
dark current, and opened again if they were initially open. | ||
|
||
|
||
Suspend When Shutter Permit is Lost | ||
----------------------------------- | ||
|
||
.. note:: | ||
|
||
This is still a work in progress. If you have an interest in this | ||
feature, please join the discussion. | ||

||
Personnel Safety System (PSS) Shutters | ||
====================================== | ||
|
||
The PSS shutters are typically large and slow to move. The APS PSS | ||
shutters are controlled via three PVs: | ||
|
||
- Open signal | ||
- Close signal | ||
- Beam blocking signal | ||
|
||
Activating the open signal directly will instruct the IOC to open the | ||
shutter, but will return a put complete before the shutter has | ||
actually opened. This is not useful when actuating shutters in a | ||
Bluesky plan. As such, the PSS shutters | ||
(:py:class:`haven.devices.shutter.PssShutter`) are **implemented as | ||
positioners** so that :py:meth:`haven.devices.shutter.PssShutter.set` | ||
**completes only when** the beam blocking signal reports that the shutter | ||
is open. | ||
|
||
.. code-block:: python | ||
from haven.devices import PssShutter, ShutterState | ||
shutter = PssShutter(prefix="S255ID-PSS:FES:", name="front_end_shutter")] | ||
# Waits for the shutter to actually close: | ||
await shutter.set(ShutterState.CLOSED) | ||
Or add the following to a **TOML file** read by the beamline startup: | ||
|
||
.. code:: toml | ||
[[ pss_shutter ]] | ||
name = "front_end_shutter" | ||
prefix = "S255ID-PSS:FES:" | ||
# allow_close = true # Default | ||
# allow_open = true # Default | ||
The optional arguments *allow_open* and *allow_close* control whether | ||
the device should be allowed to open and close the shutter. Typically, | ||
if either *allow_open* or *allow_close* are false, the shutter will be | ||
ignored by tools that automatically actuate the shutters, like | ||
:py:func:`~haven.preprocessors.open_shutters_wrapper` and | ||
:py:func:`~haven.plans.record_dark_current`. | ||
|
||
|
||
XIA PFCU-4 Filter Bank | ||
===================== | ||
|
||
One XIA PFCU controller can control four filters in a single | ||
4-position PF4 filter box. Two filters in one box can be combined to | ||
produce a shutter. | ||
|
||
To **create a filter bank**: | ||
|
||
.. code-block:: python | ||
from haven.devices import PFCUFilterBank | ||
filter_bank = PFCUFilterBank("255idc:pfcu0:", name="filter_bank") | ||
Or add the following to a **TOML file** read by the beamline startup: | ||
|
||
.. code-block:: toml | ||
[[ pfcu4 ]] | ||
name = "filter_bank1" | ||
prefix = "255idc:pfcu1:" | ||
Each :py:class:`~haven.devices.xia_pfcu.PFCUFilterBank` device is a | ||
positioner, and can be set with a string of the bits for all | ||
filters. For example, ``await filter_bank.set("1100")`` will close | ||
(``"1"``) filters 0 and 1, and open (``"0"``) filters 2 and 3. The | ||
ophyd-async device uses this to set both blades on a shutter at once. | ||
|
||
|
||
XIA PFCU Filter | ||
--------------- | ||
|
||
The :py:class:`~haven.devices.xia_pfcu.PFCUFilterBank` has an | ||
attribute *filters* which holds | ||
:py:class:`~haven.devices.xia_pfcu.PFCUFilter` instances for the | ||
individual filters in the bank. The **key for each filter** is its | ||
position in the filter box, starting from 0. Some **filters may be | ||
absent** if they are used for shutters, described below. | ||
|
||
|
||
.. warning:: | ||
|
||
A **TimeoutError** may occur when attempting to set multiple | ||
filters on the same filter bank concurrently. The IOC will often | ||
not process these requests properly, and one of the filters will | ||
not move. It is recommended to move filters individually, e.g.: | ||
|
||
.. code-block:: python | ||
RE(bps.mv(filter_bank.filters[0], FilterState.IN)) | ||
RE(bps.mv(filter_bank.filters[1], FilterState.IN)) | ||
|
||
instead of combining into a single move plan. | ||
|
||
|
||
XIA PFCU Shutter | ||
---------------- | ||
|
||
Two filters in one filter bank can be combined to produce a | ||
shutter. Provide the indices (starting from 0) of the filters to use | ||
when creating the filter bank: | ||
|
||
.. code-block:: | ||
filter_bank = PFCUFilterBank(..., shutters=[[3, 2]]) | ||
The first number listed (``3``) is the index of the filter holding the | ||
top of the shutter, that is the filter that should be ``"In"`` to block | ||
X-rays. The second number (``2``) is the index of the bottom | ||
filter. **If the shutter is open when it should be closed**, consider | ||
swapping the order of these numbers. | ||
|
||
The resulting :py:class:`~haven.devices.xia_pfcu.PFCUShutter` instance | ||
is available in the *shutters* device vector, with keys based on their | ||
order in the original *shutters* argument. The recommended way to | ||
**actuate the shutter** is by setting it directly rather than moving | ||
the individual filters: | ||
|
||
.. code-block:: python | ||
from haven.devices import ShutterState | ||
shutter = filter_bank.shutters[0] | ||
await shutter.set(ShutterState.CLOSED) | ||
