Cannot Dump Spectra from SciAps Analyzers #1

Procedure:

Power on, log in, main menu.
Results
Three dots --> Templates Setup
New Template: "Raw"
This may be where I'm failing. Setup Fields (Checked):

Date

Test #

Sample ID

Grade Match <--- Probably can uncheck that, but doesn't matter (?)

Then a number of unchecked boxes below (e.g. lat/lon).

This I may have wrong. I shouldn't need any of them enabled, since that's not the data I want. I don't want it to guess at the element, just give me the raw dump. I've tried this a few different combos, it doesn't seem to matter.

Chem Elements(32)

Formulas(0) Left at default, unchecked.
Arrange order. Default.
Spectra Format: Raw <--- This is what I think is the important one to set, but it doesn't appear to have an effect.
Uncertainty, Default unchecked.
Test Info, Default is unchecked. I have it checked. OK?
Save that template.
Then back at main menu, go to Analyze.
I've tried both Geochem/Element Pro, for this example I'll do Geochem. Does it matter?
I guess here I should be telling Geochem to use the template? Or is that after acquisition?
Take a sample. After sampling, it displays the table of elements' %.
Click the round graph icon and I can see the spectra display. That is the raw dump I'm trying to get.
Go back to top main menu --> Results.
At this point, I think I could just select the one I want to dump, but following your example from yesterday, go to the three dots "Filter by Date" and select today's date.
"Show 5 results" (or however many)
Click export/arrow icon.
Format: Excel.
Use default filename, overwrite file.
Choose Template: Raw <--- This seems like the important one, matching to template above.
Start Export: "Files have exported successfully"
View the exports files, and see there is the file:

/storage/sdcard0/export/csv/2022.01.21.csv

So that appears to export ok.

View the exports files for the spectra directory:

/storage/sdcard0/export/spectra/

That directory is empty. That is where I was expecting to find the exported file, but I've done something wrong. I've tried a few variations of the above.

One thing of note, if you do this:

Top main menu --> Results
Select any of the sample results.
Click the round spectra icon.
There is no spectra data displayed.

When this is viewed immediately after the sample is taken, the sample data is there. When this is viewed later, it isn't there. So it can't export it because it doesn't have it available for export.

This directory is also empty. It may store the spectra, pre-export (?).

root@ngl:/ # ls -l /storage/extsdcard/db/spectra/

Doing a sample finds the peaks ok, as can be seen by hitting the spectra icon immediately after taking a sample (but not later when viewing the sample). This is from the logs while taking a sample:

Doing a sample finds the peaks ok, as can be seen by hitting the spectra icon immediately after taking a sample (but not later when viewing the sample).

As a test, I set the Defaut template to Raw for Spectra Format. This was similar to above. I could view the spectra immediately after taking a sample. But if I went to the top main menu, then to Results and viewed it there, the sample was available, but the spectra wasn't. Doing an export showed this in the logs:

As a test, I set the Defaut template to `Raw` for `Spectra Format`. This was similar to above. I could view the spectra immediately after taking a sample. But if I went to the top main menu, then to `Results` and viewed it there, the sample was available, but the spectra wasn't. Doing an export showed this in the logs: ``` 2022-01-23 18:50:16,102 [ main] INFO WLCalLog : start WL Cal check 2022-01-23 18:50:18,681 [ main] INFO ExportActivity : onProgressUpdate: 1 / 4 2022-01-23 18:50:18,708 [Thread 1] ERROR c.s.e.ExportToFileTask : Error loading test result: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String java.io.File.getPath()' on a null object reference at com.sciaps.export.ExportToFileTask.onBackground(ExportToFileTask.java:197) at com.devsmart.android.BackgroundTask.run(BackgroundTask.java:127) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:422) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:237) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1112) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:587) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:818) 2022-01-23 18:50:18,715 [ main] INFO ExportActivity : onProgressUpdate: 2 / 4 2022-01-23 18:50:18,735 [Thread 1] ERROR c.s.e.ExportToFileTask : Error loading test result: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String java.io.File.getPath()' on a null object reference at com.sciaps.export.ExportToFileTask.onBackground(ExportToFileTask.java:197) at com.devsmart.android.BackgroundTask.run(BackgroundTask.java:127) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:422) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:237) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1112) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:587) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:818) 2022-01-23 18:50:18,736 [ main] INFO ExportActivity : onProgressUpdate: 3 / 4 2022-01-23 18:50:18,755 [Thread 1] ERROR c.s.e.ExportToFileTask : Error loading test result: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String java.io.File.getPath()' on a null object reference at com.sciaps.export.ExportToFileTask.onBackground(ExportToFileTask.java:197) at com.devsmart.android.BackgroundTask.run(BackgroundTask.java:127) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:422) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:237) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1112) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:587) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:818) 2022-01-23 18:50:18,757 [ main] INFO ExportActivity : onProgressUpdate: 4 / 4 2022-01-23 18:50:18,770 [Thread 1] ERROR c.s.e.ExportToFileTask : Error loading test result: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String java.io.File.getPath()' on a null object reference at com.sciaps.export.ExportToFileTask.onBackground(ExportToFileTask.java:197) at com.devsmart.android.BackgroundTask.run(BackgroundTask.java:127) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:422) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:237) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1112) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:587) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:818) 2022-01-23 18:50:26,111 [ main] INFO WLCalLog : start WL Cal check ```

I did another test sample to export spectra using the Element Pro application. I deleted all of the days samples and did a single sample for export. It exported the CSV, but not the spectra. The spectra also isn't visible on the device under Results when viewing the sample. From logs:

Analyses of Li-Rich Minerals Using Handheld LIBS Tool

https://www.mdpi.com/2306-5729/6/6/68

2.1. Format of the LIBS Spectra Files
Concerning data acquisition, the spectra can be directly displayed on the portable tool
just after the analyses and the mean spectra are provided on the Profile Builder (internal
software). These LIBS data (spectra) can be exported from the device to the user’s computer
by opening the communication between the LIBS and the computer (USB connection or
Wi-Fi). Different options are possible such as raw LIBS spectra, mean raw spectra, or
all individual and/or mean spectra calibrated in wavelength. Here, two different kinds
of spectra, obtained after cleaning the laser shots to avoid any dust contamination, are
available in this dataset (as downloaded from the LIBS tool):
(i) Firstly, 4362 LIBS files correspond to the raw LIBS spectra with no processing
treatment; thus, each spectra value corresponds to a point (corresponding to several laser
shots) on the samples. These spectra values are not calibrated in wavelengths; thus, the
identification of the elements is difficult due to potential shifts in nm as a result of the detectors. The raw spectra correspond to the LIBS spectra obtained at each point, are recorded
in csv format, and they correspond to three columns: the first for pixels, the second for the
wavelengths, and the last for the intensity (arbitrary intensity, counts on the detector), with
the column titles being “pixel”, “wavelength”, and “intensity”. For the raw data, the initial
format was built as IDmineral_yearmonthday_hour_PM_Spectrumnumber_PixelData.csv.
These spectra can be downloaded from seven separate folders with explicit names that
Data 2021, 6, 68 4 of 12
correspond to the providers and/or matrices (i.e., Univ. Lorraine, Canada, Brazil, GFZ,
thin sections, powders, etc.). The open access website of ORDaR (OTELo Research Data
Repository) is https://doi.org/10.24396/ORDAR-65 (accessed on 21 June 2021).
(ii) Secondly, 369 average LIBS spectra values calculated for each area are available. It
should be highlighted that these LIBS spectra were directly recorded from the handheld
LIBS tool and the spectra were calibrated in wavelength in order to facilitate element
identification (as the element peaks are very narrow) by adding artificial pixels. The LIBS
mean spectra values also correspond to .csv files. These calibrated spectra are the mean
spectra obtained at several points, and they correspond to two columns: the first for
wavelengths and the second for the intensity (arbitrary intensity, counts on the detector),
with the column titles being “wavelength” and “intensity”. The initial format was built
as IDmineral_yearmonthday_hour_AM_AverageSpectrum.csv; for the spectra associated
with the analysis number, IDmineral_yearmonthday_hour_PM_Spectrumnumber.csv was
used. In this study, the AverageSpectrum.csv was always kept for the major part of the
spectra, and the beginning of the filename corresponds to the mineral ID. A typical name of
these spectra is “IDMineral_20190417_041453_PM_AverageSpectrum” with the ID mineral
at the beginning, the YearMonthDay_hourminutesecond time of the acquisition, and the
notification of the AverageSpectrum. These spectra can be downloaded from the LIBS
LIBS_spectra_DATAPAPER.zip

It looks like the raw files are available here:

Each file has the same header:

Pixel Index,wavelength,intensity

16x files by 8264 lines is 132,224.

What are the YUV files? Are they just for sample presence detection or are they the sample used for the creation of the CSV (e.g. YUV is pre-processed raw).

?

Edit: these are probably for sample presence detection.

This is a sample from all 16 CSV files combined, with one file per column. The first column, Pixel Index is the same in every file. The second column, wavelength, is the same in every file. So just the intensity column is different for each file.

Raw Spectra Acquisition
These commands relate to acquiring spectra only

...

/api/v2/acquire


This endpoint is used to initiate raw spectra acquisition. Individual spectra will be returned if all is passed as the last segment of the URL. Only the final, averaged spectra will be returned if finalis passed as the last segment of the URL. This endpoint requires a mode to be passed which can be obtained from the apps field of the InstrumentId object. Details of the ZAcquisitionResult object can be found here

Example usage:

$ curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @settings.json --output output.json http://192.168.42.129:8080/api/v2/acquire/all?mode=Alloy

Links to:

https://github.com/SciAps/SciApsApi/blob/master/api/src/main/java/com/sciaps/ZAcquisitionResult.java

Contents:

package com.sciaps;

public class ZAcquisitionResult {
    public String status;

    public List<ZSpectrum> spectra;
    public ZAcquisitionMetadata metadata;
}

To get remote web listening:

Go to top main menu
Swipe right

It looks like the API isn't implemented though? Basic queries return not implemented.

The device gives itself the static IP 192.168.42.129. It still listens with the webserver on all ports. The device itself has curl on it. So you can run that directly on the device, using that static IP as a test as well (e.g. there's nothing else in between could cause an issue). That also gives 501 Not Implemented.

The URL endpoint appears correct:

https://github.com/SciAps/SciApsApi/blob/master/client/app/src/main/java/com/sciaps/apidemo/SciApsClient.java#L59

String url = String.format("http://%s/api/v2/%s", mInetSocketAddress.getHostString(), endpoint);

I have the X-555 XRF model available now.

It works in a similar way to the LIBS model, but it slightly different. For setting up an export, it just has a checkbox to Export Spectra, it doesn't give an option for which type (at least not in the same spot as on the LIBS model).

The X-555 does export the spectra as it should though. It is in mca format:

root@ngx:/ # ls -l /storage/sdcard0/export/*                                   
-rwxrwxr-x root     sdcard_rw       77 2022-01-27 15:19 2022.01.27.csv
-rwxrwxr-x root     sdcard_rw        0 2022-01-27 15:19 0000002-0 2022.01.27.15.19.mca

Gah, it looks like that spectrum file is zero bytes though, so no data. :(

This is the error in the logs when the X-555 tries to export:

2022-01-27 15:19:57,322 [Thread 6] ERROR c.s.x.d.ExportBatchMCA        : error exporting test#2-0: {}

        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:818)

The default profile on the X-555 has Export Spectra enabled by default. It is exporting files of zero bytes:

-rwxrwxr-x root     sdcard_rw        0 2022-01-27 15:33 0000002-0 2022.01.27.15.19.mca

This is true when using both Alloy and Soil applications. The Soil application has it's own template, which is also set to Export Spectra by default. But it too exports zero byte files. Examples so far:

root@ngx:/ # ls -l /sdcard/export/spectra/                                     
-rwxrwxr-x root     sdcard_rw        0 2022-01-27 15:33 0000002-0 2022.01.27.15.19.mca
-rwxrwxr-x root     sdcard_rw        0 2022-01-27 17:28 0000004-0 2022.01.27.17.27.mca
-rwxrwxr-x root     sdcard_rw        0 2022-01-27 17:28 0000004-1 2022.01.27.17.27.mca
-rwxrwxr-x root     sdcard_rw        0 2022-01-27 17:28 0000004-2 2022.01.27.17.27.mca

Note, with the X-555 it does dispay the spectra properly both after acquiring the sample, and when viewing it in Results. The Z-903 won't display the spectra correctly in Results nor in export. So they have slightly different problems.

The X-555 gives the same 501 Not Implemented when using the API. It is able to get an IP via wifi and start the service on port 8080, which answers, but always 501.

root@ngx:/ # curl -v http://192.168.42.129:8080/api/v2/id

The X-555 also apparently statically assigns itself the address 192.168.42.129. This could be a potential conflict on that IP if both units/models are used at the same time on the same network.

Looks like the 192.168.42.129 is in Airdroid.odex.

In the file extsdcard/db/maindb.p in the Soil and the Empirical analysisMode the saveAcquisition field is set to false.

{"conditions":[{"isEnabled":true,"beamName":"Beam 1","filterPos":4,"keV":55.0,"uA":90.0,"maxTimeMillisec":60000,"lowCountRate":0.0,"maxCountRate":500000.0,"setCountRate":400000.0},{"

In that same directory there are other main files, and a sqlite database:

root@ngx:/ # ls -l /storage/extsdcard/db/                                      
-rw-rw---- system   system      20480 2021-09-22 16:55 UsersAndPermissions.db

-rw------- system   system         16 2022-01-27 19:55 maindb.t

The UsersAndPermissions.db is standard sqlite3 files. I'm not sure the format of the three maindb files, but they have the settings above.

The ExportBatchMCA.java and ExportMCA.java functions are in /system/app/XRFAndroid/arm64/XRFAndroid.odex, which looks to be the main app. There are also a few ExportCsv* functions. On the X-555 nothing for raw, so that must just be Z-903.

Other SciAps customers see same issue.

No word from Sciaps.

New tech support agent from SciAps called and said the export needs to be enabled in the Factory Settings. Those are greyed out in the menu and "inaccessible". I need to sign a waver before getting the code to enable changing Factory Settings to allow export. Awaiting document from SciAps.

SciAps:

Save spectra appears to be turned off on your instruments. To access this setting you will need to login to the factory user, but in having this login, you also have access to the laser safety settings.

We have 2 options; you can send your instruments to me, and we can enable the save spectra option. Or I can give you the factory login information and you can acknowledge that you are responsible for any and all liability associated with changing the factory laser safety settings. Making this a class 3B device and potentially having to register it with the state (I am not familiar with Colorado's laser registration requirements).

Sent ACK.

I have user/PIN.

Logged in with the factory PIN provided to the SciAps X-555.
Go to Settings.
There's many more options. There are no new options under Safety Settings. Nothing related to exports nor spectra.
Under Factory Settings, there's temp & time settings, nothing related to exports nor spectra.
Database Management, nothing related to exports nor spectra.
Application Config, which is new, has a few options, nothing related to exports nor spectra.
Camera Settings, nothing related to exports nor spectra.
GPS Connection, nothing related to exports nor spectra.
Test Stand Settings, nothing related to exports nor spectra.

So it doesn't appear to fix the SciAps X-555.

With the factory user/pin, the SciAps Z-903 has under Settings, Factory Settings, Save Spectra. It was unchecked. Checked now. Will log out and test as regular user.

It looks the Z-903 is now exporting since Save Spectra from Factory Settings was enabled.

This was sent to me March 11th, 2022, but there was never any followup.

Jeff,

 

Our apologies.  I will have someone reach out to you ASAP.

 

David,

 

Please follow up with Jeff today.  Can you find out exactly what is not working and resolve.

 

Regards,

I spoke with Jonathan today. He's going to read up, talk to software, and give me a call tomorrow.

From SciAps:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/p8bnyr0e3u94jug/updater_ProdNGXRelease_ngx-v1.3-4-0-gd539b0c.sup?dl=0

I spoke with the software team; their suggestion is to try to reload the software. Attached is the updater.

1. Drop the updater on the root of the SD card

2. Swipe all the way over on the analyzer until you see other apps

3. Select other apps and scroll down until you get to SciAps Updater and select it

4. Scroll until you see the updater you put on the SD card and run it on the analyzer (once done analyzer should reboot by itself)

adb push updater_ProdNGXRelease_ngx-v1.3-4-0-gd539b0c.sup /storage/sdcard0/DCIM/

I put the file on the SD card.
I updated via the SciAps Update and it automatically rebooted.
A couple minutes later it was booted for login. I logged in.
I hit "Analyze" and "Alloy".
It prompted me for calibration.
I attached the calibration part to the front of the device.
I hit "Calibrate".
It errors:

Attention

Energy calibration failed!

Acquisition for Energy Calibration failed!

Acquisition for Energy Calibration failed with error code (-2). Please contact SciAps.

SciAps requested the xrf.log file, which I sent. They said they need more time to analyze it and will call/email.

There is no content yet.

From SciAps:

Can you run this sup file on the instrument the same way you ran the Software through Sciaps Updater? This should set the detector settings back to the correct settings.

Running:

adb push amptek-xrfservice.sup /storage/sdcard0/DCIM

amptek-xrfservice.sup.zip

It did the update and rebooted. Calibration now appears to work.

It still exports zero byte file:

root@ngx:/ # ls -l /storage/sdcard0/export/spectra/

SciAps writes:

I think this is an issue where it is trying to export all three beams in alloy, but your instrument only contains one beam. If you drop this file into the SciAps folder on the SD card, then restart the instrument this should fix that issue.

Running:

adb push hardware.cfg /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0/sciaps/

Pushed hardware.cfg to sciap's forlder on SD card.
Power off.
Power on.
Click Analyze.
Click Alloy.

Gives error:

Attention

Scanning failed!

Configuration failed with errorCode: -4

Options from SciAps to consider:

Here's the units backup config file this should eliminate those error codes.


If the hardware.cfg didn’t fix the analyzer, we are left with two options to get the export working. We can either send it in and have it upgraded in the factory. This should only take less than a day to do and we will pay for shipping, this will give you the latest software that supports csv and mca exports from unit. This software was recently released but due to a platform change the upgrade is not able to be done remotely.

The second option is to try and spin a software one-off release specifically for this unit. This is not a guarantee that it will work it could fix one problem and cause another because we don’t have your exact unit to use and test on, we cannot be sure. This will be the same software overall as your unit is now and will not support csv exporting.


Let me know how you would like to proceed

SciAps has the device, but never sent an email/call to confirm they received it. I called Jonathan Moller today. He said they had received the device. I spoke with Keith Bowman who said it just required their proprietary Windows software to do the update and it should take 30 minutes, but he also said it was more complicated than that. Bowman also said other customers were complaining about the lack of response from their customer service.

Mike Fuller emails just now saying it will be shipped overnight today or Monday.

David Bowman says device is shipping today for delivery tomorrow.

Received X555 unit. Looks ok. I haven't plugged it it. The device is cold, waiting for room temp & time.

I received the unit.

I did "Analyze". I did an export. It exported an .mca file. The file just had one column, I thought it was supposed to have two.
