LYNXEYE XE Detector User Manual
DOC-M88-EXX240 V1 – 03.2014 6-1
6 Software Configuration
This section describes the basic software configuration. Software is in detail described in Bruker AXS
DIFFRAC.Measurement Suite User Manual DOC-M88-EXX191.
6.1 Communication Line
Communications between the D8 controller, LYNXEYE XE detector and the Control PC are made via
a network connection.
The parameters for communication need to be defined by the user and are stored in the *.bfcfg file.
The DIFFRAC.CONFIG plugin is used to set the parameters. Perform the following steps to configure
the system (see Figure 4.3 for the cabling scheme).
It is highly recommended to use the local network addresses for communication. Standard IP ad-
dresses are 192.168.23.1 for Control PC, 192.1.68.23.3 for D8-Controller and 192.168.23.5 for LYNX-
EYE XE Detector.
6.2 Detector Configuration
Open the DIFFRAC.Measurement Center and make sure that a connection to the diffractometer is
established. Activate the CONFIGURATION plugin within the DIFFRAC.Measurement Center. The
following steps describe the way how to introduce a LYNXEYE XE in the configuration from scratch, if
the LYNXEYE XE was delivered separately. For a complete system, this integration was done at
Bruker AXS test field and instead of these templates, similar configuration files are generated (includ-
ing optics recognition9. Two detector specific template files (1308-0080 represents the serial number
for the detector) have been created at Bruker AXS production, e.g.:
LXE_1308-0080_Cu-HighGain-HighResolution.bfscn
LXE_1308-0080_Cu-HighGain-HighCountRate.bfscn
Additional, two templates (no energy discrimination, high count rate) for aligning the diffractometer or
as starting values for detector calibration are supplied in the configuration templates subfolder
