TROD Experiments

General steps

1. Load or generate calibration file
2. Load or generate times file
3. Select experimental scheme (see below)
4. Run scheme w/ specified times
   • Display incoming data to plotting area
   • Incrementally save incoming data to file

Experimental schemes

Functions used

• Set ... delay [on DDG ...] to ... Set the specified delay time on specified DDG. Default to primary configured DDG and B delay or equivalent.
• Collect flash Open lamp BF, close laser BF, collect from camera into array.
• Collect trans Open lamp BF, open laser BF, collect from camera into array.
• Collect (flash|trans) and accumulate Call collect and add result to accumulator array.
• Diff flash and trans Subtract flash (initial) from trans (final).
• Display Draw result in plotting area, according to configuration.
• Write to file Save result to data file, according to desired format.
• Pump Command syringe pump to pump specified volume.

Basic TROD

for each time point t:
    Set B delay to t
    for 1 to no. averages:
        Collect flash
        Collect trans
        Diff flash and trans
        Display diff
        Write to data file

TROD with accumulation

for each time point t:
    Set B delay to t
    for 1 to no. averages:
        Collect flash & accumulate
        Collect trans & accumulate
    Divide accumulators by no. averages
    Diff accumulated flash and trans
    Display diff
    Write to data file (diff'd accumulators, accumulators or both)

TROD segregated

for each time point t:
    Set B delay to t
    for 1 to (no. averages)/2:
        Collect trans [& accumulate]
    for 1 to (no. averages)/2:
        Collect flash [& accumulate]
    for 1 to (no. averages)/2:
        Collect trans [& accumulate]
    Divide accumulators by no. averages or (no. averages)/2
    Diff accumulated flash and trans
    Display diff
    Write to data file

TROD with flow-flash

for each time point t:
    Set B delay to t
    [Initial pump to clear lines]
    (Run any scheme, insert Pump before any Collect)
