INTER psi scan #282

Description

@Tom-Willemsen

(sub-ticket of #210)

For a psi (rocking) scan on INTER, we should be able to use detector-mapping to directly calculate psi, from a single data collection, rather than scanning. This should save quite a bit of time during sample alignment relative to scanning, or manually tweaking psi.

For a 2-d detector map, we will get a very elongated 2-dimensional ellipsoid. We want to extract a 'rotation' parameter from that ellipsoid; that rotation parameter is the psi value that we need.


Or, in other words:

  • Count once
  • Get this image on the detector
Image
  • Find angle of ellipse relative to horizontal, that is equal to psi
  • Change psi to make it zero
  • Profit

Workflow

Acceptance criteria

  • Psi scan using the above workflow can be done on INTER
  • Deployed/tested on INTER
