Predefined Combinations

Table 9.1 holds display combinations which are currently predefined for the 8 segment detector chip. Note, however, that they are only really available in a dataset if the detector channels have been recorded which are required for them!

As you can see, some of them are just one display from the "Calibrated kHz" array. They are still included here to make everything interesting available in "Predefined Combinations", rather than having to switch over to "Calibrated kHz".


Table 9.1: Table of predefined display combinations for the 8 segment chip. Availability depends on recorded signals!
Name Description
Counter Proportional Counter (kHz)
Clock Pixel dwell time (msec)
Segment 1 Segment 1 of silicon detector (kHz)
Segment 2 Segment 2 of silicon detector (kHz)
Segment 3 Segment 3 of silicon detector (kHz)
Segment 4 Segment 4 of silicon detector (kHz)
Segment 5 Segment 5 of silicon detector (kHz)
Segment 6 Segment 6 of silicon detector (kHz)
Segment 7 Segment 7 of silicon detector (kHz)
Segment 8 Segment 8 of silicon detector (kHz)
Sum Inner Ring Sum of the inner ring of segments (1-3) (kHz)
Sum Quadrant Ring Sum of the quadrant segments (4-7) (kHz)
BF matched Brightfield contrast with matched apertures, or sum of segments 1-7 (if the detector is aligned properly) (kHz)
BF matched w/o Seg 2 As above, but without segment 2. This is useful because in the case of a misaligned OSA or a too-thin central stop, zero-order radiation can leak through and hit segment 2. You don't loose much of the wanted first order radiation because segment 2 to a large degree lies in the shadow of the central stop (dark center of the beam donut).
BF total Total brightfield contrast, or sum of all segments (kHz). This is the most interesting display for the segmented silicon detector in most cases.
BF total w/o Seg 2 As above, but without segment 2.
DPC horizontal Horizontal differential phase contrast (segments 6+7-4-5 = left - right when looking at the chip in the upstream direction)
DPC vertical Vertical differential phase contrast (segments 5+6-4-7 = upper - lower)
DPC diagonal up Diagonal differential phase contrast upwards (segments 6-4 = upper left - lower right)
DPC diagonal down Diagonal differential phase contrast downwards (segments 7-5 - lower left - upper right)
DPC 1-3 Vertical differential phase contrast (segments 1-3)
