Identification

• Site:
• Author: Alexander Backs, based on PSD_monitor by K. Lefmann
• Origin: ESS
• Date: 2022

Description

An (n times m) pixel PSD monitor. This component may also be used as a beam
detector.

Example: PSD_monitor(xmin=-0.1, xmax=0.1, ymin=-0.1, ymax=0.1, nx=90, ny=90, filename="Output.psd")

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
