| 2 =============== | 2 =============== |
| 3 | 3 |
| 4 Walk-through of adding a channel. | 4 After adding a system, a telescope and a laser to the database, you need to add a new channel. |
| 5 To do this, click on the **HOI channels** in the *System settings* panel. | |
| 6 This will take you to a page with a list of all availabe channels that are connected with your lidar systems. | |
| 7 This list should be empty if this is the first time you add a system. | |
| 8 | |
| 9 To add a new channel to the database click on **Add HOI channel** at the top right of the screen. | |
| 10 This will take you to a new page were you can fill in the needed information. As before, the fields in **bold** | |
| 11 are mandatory and you will need to fill them before you can save you new system. | |
| 12 | |
| 13 The fileds you have to fill here are more, as many of these are used during the processing of measurements. | |
| 14 | |
| 15 .. warning:: | |
| 16 | |
| 17 There is a last step, different from the previous cases, when saving a new channel. You need to connect your channel with | |
| 18 a lidar system before you save, or else all your entry will be lost. Read carefully through this document (or directly | |
| 19 the :ref:`last section <connect-channel-to-system>`) to avoid any problems. | |
| 20 | |
| 21 | |
| 22 Fill in the fields | |
| 23 ------------------ | |
| 24 | |
| 25 To start using the single calculus chain you will need to fill the following fields: | |
| 26 | |
| 27 Name | |
| 28 The name of the channel ex. "355", "1064 analog" etc. | |
| 29 | |
| 30 Telescope | |
| 31 The telescope that is used for this channel | |
| 32 | |
| 33 Laser | |
| 34 The laser that is used for this channel | |
| 35 | |
| 36 Interference filter center | |
| 37 The center of the interference filter in nm | |
| 38 | |
| 39 Interference filter FWHM | |
| 40 The FWHM of the interference filter in nm | |
| 41 | |
| 42 Emission wavelength | |
| 43 The emission wavelength of the laser used for this channel | |
| 44 | |
| 45 Field of view | |
| 46 The field of view realated to this channel in mrad | |
| 47 | |
| 48 Raw range resolution | |
| 49 The raw range resolution of the measured data in m | |
| 50 | |
| 51 Dead time | |
| 52 The dead of the detector in ns. You should fill in this in case | |
| 53 of a photon counting detector. | |
| 54 | |
| 55 Trigger delay | |
| 56 The trigger delay value for the channel in ns. Fill in 0 if not needed. | |
| 57 | |
| 58 Scattering mechanism | |
| 59 The scattering mechanism that is involved in this channel. Select the appropriate value from the drop-down list. | |
| 60 | |
| 61 Dead time correction type | |
| 62 The dead time correction type to be applied. Select *Not defined* if none needs to be defined. | |
| 63 | |
| 64 Background mode | |
| 65 The way to calculate the singal background. Select *Not defined* if none needs to be defined. | |
| 66 | |
| 67 Signal type | |
| 68 The type of the singal that is measured, ex. "elT" for total elastic, "vrRN2" for vibrational-rotational | |
| 69 Raman signal from Nitrogen melecules etc. See :ref:`signal-types` for details. | |
| 70 | |
| 71 Detection mode | |
| 72 The detection mode of this channel. | |
| 73 | |
| 74 .. _connect-channel-to-system: | |
| 75 | |
| 76 Connecting to a system | |
| 77 ---------------------- | |
| 78 | |
| 79 Before you finish, you need to attach your channel to one of your systems. To do this, go at the bottom of the page and | |
| 80 select your system from the drop-down list in the **System channels** area. | |
| 81 | |
| 82 When you are done, press the **save** button at the bottom right of the page. | |
| 83 This will take you back to the list of your channels. | |
| 84 If everything went OK your new channel you just added should appear in the list. | |
