Cyberstar configuration¶
Cyberstar is a family of Single Channel Analyzer power supply for Ion-chamber SCA. This controller supports models X1000, PPU5CH, CS96MCD, X2000 and X20005CH.
Control communication is only via serial-line RS232 and modules can be chained (so-called daisy-chain) on the same serial cable.
The power supplies provide an SCA output TTL, which is typically integrated via a counter/timer board like the P201 ESRF board.
The BLISS controller provide a SoftAxis to scan the SCA voltage window if the axis_name is provided by the configuration.
The 5 channels models accept an additional configuration parameter to specify the module channel. See the example below for more details.

sca_low = 3.8800V (range=[0, 4])
sca_up = 4.0000V (range=[0, 4])
sca_window_size = 0.1000V
gain = 70.0 % (range=[0, 100])
peaking_time = 50 ns (range=[50, 100, 300, 1000])
