# The software package

The actual software for the Mythen II system (MCS1 to MCS24) runs on 32 bit Scientific Linux machines (SLC5 tested, gcc 4.1.2 but it should not be critical).

The complete software package is composed of several programs which can be instaleld (or locally compiled) depending on the needs:

- The slsDetector shared and static libraries which are necessary for all user interfaces and can be simply used for implementig custom detector drivers;
- The command line interface (slsDetectorClient) sls_detector_put, sls_detector_get, sls_detector_acquire which is provided to communicate with the detectors;
- A virtual server mythenServer which can be used to simulate the behavior of the detector for what concerns the communication in case the detector is not online or is in use.
