This template is essentially identical to the PHOIBOS 1D Adjustment template, except that
the SpinDetector Control is set to Channel 2.
3.1.5 UPS Spin Step Profile
This temple is used to carry out actual measurements with the spin detector.
The following sections describe the template in greater detail. It is useful to know the
function of the components in the schedule if you want to modify the template.
Devices
The following devices are required:
•
UV Dummy: Provides the operating parameters for the excitation source.
•
PHOIBOS 1D: Controls the PHOIBOS analyzer. This includes the setting for the
rotator (–1 or 1).
•
Magnetic Pulse Control: Allows you to magnetize the target during the experiment.
•
Spin Detector Control: Sets the parameters for the Ferrum spin detector.
Sleep
When you start the experiment, the devices are initialized. In particular, charging the
magnetic pulse controller and magnetizing the target takes some time. The sleep item makes
SpecsLab Prodigy wait before going on to the next step.
Step Profile
For each entry in the step profile, the magnetization of the sample is changed before the
spectra defined in the spectrum group are measured. The setting in the template contains
eight iterations, which are sufficient to obtain results which are not affected with time drift.
Also see the Focus Ferrum Spin detector manual.
Sleep
The second sleep item gives the system time to magnetize the target.
Spectrum Group
Defines the spectrum. See the SpecsLab Prodigy manual.
Performing CCD measurements 3.2
Taking data with the CCD detector follows the standard procedure described in
SpecsLab Prodigy Quick Guide and Online Help. Please see this documentation for an
example of how to set up a spectrum and measure data.
