DESCRIPTION

The Lab::Instrument::SignalRecovery726x class implements an interface to the Signal Recovery 7260 / 7265 Lock-in Amplifier. Note that the module Lab::Instrument::SignalRecovery726x can work via GPIB or RS232 interface.

CONSTRUCTOR

my $SR = new(\%options);

METHODS

get_value

$value=$SR->get_value($channel);

Makes a measurement using the actual settings. The CHANNELS defined by $channel are returned as floating point values. If more than one value is requested, they will be returned as an array.

$channel

CHANNEL can be:

  in floating point notation:

-----------------------------

'X'   --> X channel output\n 
'Y'   --> Y channel output\n
'MAG' --> Magnitude\n 
'PHA' --> Signale phase\n 
'XY'  --> X and Y channel output\n 
'MP'  --> Magnitude and signal Phase\n 
'ALL' --> X,Y, Magnitude and signal Phase\n

config_measurement

$SR->config_measurement($channel, $number_of_points, $interval, [$trigger]);

Preset the Signal Recovery 7260 / 7265 Lock-in Amplifier for a TRIGGERED measurement.

$channel

CHANNEL can be:

  in floating point notation:

-----------------------------

'X'   --> X channel output\n 
'Y'   --> Y channel output\n 
'MAG' --> Magnitude\n 
'PHA' --> Signale phase\n 
'XY'  --> X and Y channel output\n 
'MP'  --> Magnitude and signal Phase\n 
'ALL' --> X,Y, Magnitude and signal Phase\n

.

  in percent of full range notation:

------------------------------------

'X-'   --> X channel output\n 
'Y-'   --> Y channel output\n 
'MAG-' --> Magnitude\n 
'PHA-' --> Signale phase\n 
'XY-'  --> X and Y channel output\n 
'MP-'  --> Magnitude and signal Phase\n 
'ALL-' --> X,Y, Magnitude and signal Phase\n
$number_of_points

Preset the NUMBER OF POINTS to be taken for one measurement trace. The single measured points will be stored in the internal memory of the Lock-in Amplifier. For the Signal Recovery 7260 / 7265 Lock-in Amplifier the internal memory is limited to 32.000 values.

--> If you request data for the channels X and Y in floating point notation, for each datapoint three values have to be stored in memory (X,Y and Sensitivity).
--> So you can store effectivly 32.000/3 = 10666 datapoints.
--> You can force the instrument not to store additionally the current value of the Sensitivity setting by appending a '-' when you select the channels, eg. 'XY-' instead of simply 'XY'.
--> Now you will recieve only values between -30000 ... + 30000 from the Lock-in, which is called the full range notation.
--> You can calculate the measurement value by ($value/100)*Sensitivity. This is easy if you used only a single setting for Sensitivity during the measurement, and it's very hard if you changed the Sensitivity several times during the measurment or even used the auto-range function.
$interval

Preset the STORAGE INTERVAL in which datavalues will be stored during the measurement. Note: the storage interval is independent from the low pass filters time constant tc.

$trigger

Ooptional value. Presets the source where the trigger signal is expected. 'EXT' --> external trigger source 'INT' --> internal trigger source

DEF is 'INT'. If no value is given, DEF will be selected.

.

trg

$SR->trg();

Sends a trigger signal via the GPIB-BUS to start the predefined measurement. The LabVisa-script can immediatally be continued, e.g. to start another triggered measurement using a second Signal Recovery 7260 / 7265 Lock-in Amplifier.

.

get_data

@data = $SR->get_data(<$sensitivity>);

Reads all recorded values from the internal buffer and returns them as an (2-dim) array of floatingpoint values.

Example:

requested channels: X --> $SR->get_data(); returns an 1-dim array containing the X-trace as floatingpoint-values
requested channels: XY --> $SR->get_data(); returns an 2-dim array: 
	--> @data[0] contains an 1-dim array containing the X-trace as floatingpoint-values 
	--> @data[1] contains an 1-dim array containing the Y-trace as floatingpoint-values 

Note: Reading the buffer will not start before all predevined measurement values have been recorded. The LabVisa-script cannot be continued until all requested readings have been recieved.

$sensitivity

SENSITIVITY is an optional parameter. When it is defined, it will be assumed that the data recieved from the Lock-in are in full range notation. The return values will be calculated by $value = ($value/100)*$sensitifity.

abort

$SR->abort();

Aborts current (triggered) measurement.

wait

$SR->wait();

Waits until current (triggered) measurement has been finished.

active

$SR->active();

Returns '1' if current (triggered) measurement is still running and '0' if current (triggered) measurement has been finished.
