Implement pulsed deposition sequence
Closed this issue · 1 comments
Requested by Danny/Giorgio: Pulsed deposition for Laser:
Hey Bijal. Here is the progression we were planning on: 1. The laser will be set to some intensity (T100, etc.). 2. The laser will pause for some specified time, allowing the film to be exposed to the light (setPause 100-300ms possibly). 3. The laser will be set to T1, such that the laser off (T1) 4. The sequence will be paused with the laser off for some specified time (5-60s). 5. The sequence of steps 1-4 would then be cycled for some number of cycles (25, 50, 100, 200, etc. exposures).
To be more clear, the variables that we plan on using are the exposure time (how long the laser pauses in the on/T100 configuration before being turned off in a cycle, 100-300 ms), the intensity/power of the laser when it is on (T100-T200), the # of cycles of on/off that will be performed (25, 50 exposures, etc.), and the pause/wait times after the laser has been turned off in a cycle (5-60s).
Note: May require tweaking of readtimeout for serial device
