It utilizes two rotating parallel plates to alternately transmit and block pulses in a single sweeping motion. A conventional stepper motor connected to the plates provides the rotation. The key to the system is its sophisticated timing scheme. Each sweep of the shutter is synchronized (with a precise delay) with the event codes normally generated with each pulse for data acquisition use. This shutter system has the capability of reducing the repetition rate of the LCLS x-ray to any frequency less than or equal to 60Hz in order to select a single pulse of LCLS x-ray beam at 120Hz. Since its installation, the pulse selector has been used in multiple experiments with great success providing independent pulse selection to individual beamlines at the same time.
