# Philips XL30 Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM) control libraries and utilities (unofficial)
_Under development_
This repository contains a small set of utilities and control libraries for
the Philips XL30 environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM). __This
code is not associated with Philips or FEI in any way__.
Current available components:
* The ```xl30serial.xl30serial``` module provides a simple interface
to the XL30 using it's serial console server. Remote control via the
serial interface has to be enabled on the console. This route of control
has been chosen since DDE and shared memory via flat thunking is not
working since the Windows 2K update. Unfortunately not all parameters
like chamber pressure are available via the serial port - and transfer
of images has to work via files. __This library is under development
and may change at any point in future__. It only implements a small
subset of the supported commands.
## Installation
This package is available as PyPi package and automatically build on each
tag by an automated build system.
```
pip install pyxl30-tspspi
```
## Usage
### Simple sample with internal methods
This simple sample currently uses private methods of the class. Usually
one should access the microscope via it's base class from
the [pylabdevs](https://github.com/tspspi/pylabdevs/tree/master) project.
This base class is currently under development.
```
from xl30serial import XL30Serial
from time import sleep
with XL30Serial("/dev/ttyU0", logger, debug = True) as xl:
print(xl._get_id())
xl._set_hightension(30e3)
sleep(120)
xl._set_scanmode(ScanningElectronMicroscope_ScanMode.FULL_FRAME)
xl._set_imagefilter_mode(ScanningElectronMicroscope_ImageFilterMode.INTEGRATE, 1)
while(xl._get_imagefilter_mode()['mode'] != ScanningElectronMicroscope_ImageFilterMode.FREEZE):
sleep(0.5)
xl._write_tiff_image("c:\\temp\\IMAGE.TIF")
xl._set_scanmode(ScanningElectronMicroscope_ScanMode.FULL_FRAME)
xl._set_hightension(0)
```
