ctr5read command

NAME

ctr5read-photometer reading program

SYNOPSIS

ctr5read [help] [nsamples=10] [sleep=1] [cycles=] [cycles=]

DESCRIPTION

ctr5read reads the counts in all seven channels and prints out the count rate in Hertz once per second until interrupted by a Cntrl^C or until the cycles expires.

This command is similar to readphot except that it does not use the rseti server but instead reads the counters directly. This means that it can be used at the same time as the data taking and can only be run on the data taking computer.

Note that the sample rate cannot be adjusted by this command.
