3.6 Detector Flood Field Correction
The flood field correction is a special feature to improve the LYNXEYE XE detector performance for
PSD Fixed Scans. It might be usable only for some special kind of applications.
It does NOT influence or alter the characteristics of continuous scans.
Caution!
An improper performed flood field calibration might influence PSD Fixed Scan data!
Note
Enabling/disabling the flood field correction is not easy possible in CONFIG! As long as the
flood field correction numbers ≠ 1 for each strip is set for ‘Flood Corrections’ in CONFIG it
will automatically be applied to all PSD fixed scans. It is highly recommended to save the
configuration file before performing a flood field correction.
Please remember that the flood field correction depends on any measurement condition
which will influence intensity distributions, especially:
Alignment
Detector trimming
Detector Calibration
Discriminator settings and detector HV
Measurement circle
Soller slits
…
You have to perform and analyze a new flood field file whenever measurement conditions
have been changed.
