About:
fsc2 is a program for controlling spectrometers. Experiments are done by interpretation of scripts written in a simple language, EDL. Devices are handled via modules in order to allow easy integration of new devices. More than 50 devices are supported, connected via serial port, GPIB, or LAN, as well as data acquisition cards, etc. The state of an experiment can be remotly monitored via a built-in Web server.

[»] The abstract - confuse
by jaromrax - Mar 19th 2008 00:48:23

Hi,
there can be many spectrometer kinds, actualy it is anything that measures values in some energy range. I would appreciate and recommend to specify which spectrometers you mean. (e.g. magnetic s. of charged particles - not here)
thanks
j.

The program tries to be as much as possible not to be restricted to a certain type of spectrometer. While it was originally written with EPR and related spectrometers in mind it can also be used for a lot of others since you describe the experiment you want to do using a scripting language and modules for all kinds of devices can be loaded on demand. And the functions supplied by a newly supported device module become new commands you can use in the script. So it e.g. also gets used for a Raman spectrometer or for doing Single Molecule spectroscopy (at least that are the ones I am aware of). But, of course, it's not meant for something big like a whole electron synchrotron;-)

Regards, Jens
