# Other functions

The text client and the GUI can be operated in parallel (althoug you should not change parameters or acquire data at the same data from the gui and the text client!) and the values displayed by the GUI should normally be the actual ones. However this kind of parallel operation is at your own risk!

The main parameters are group in tabs according to their meaning. To enable some tabs you should enter the modes menu and select Advanced/configuration/Debug Here is the general subject of the tabs:

Measurement
  Main acquisition parameters that you may want to change often
Data Output
  Where to write the data, in which format and what to to with them
Plot
  What to plot and how (only partially implemented)
Actions
  Allows to configure scans and/or execute scripts at teh beginning or at the end of the measurement.
Time resolved
  Parameters for time resolved (real time) measurements
Advanced
  Must be activated with the modes menu button. Allows to set some advanced configuration which you don't want general users to change (e.g. data size, external signals, advanced acquisition speed)
Trimming
  Must be activated with the modes menu button. Allows to trim the detector and/or load specific trim files.
Configuration
  Must be activated with the modes menu button. Allows to configure the detector
Debugging
  Must be activated with the modes menu button. Allows to test the detectors functionality, acquire serial numbers etc.

Most of the parameters are explained through a tooltip which appers if you leave the mouse on the widget for a few seconds.

The configuration and/or the complete setup of the detector can be loaded and saved using the Utilities menu.

## Mandatory configuration

Where to find some important parameters (should be set only once, then it should remain in memory):

Hostname
  Configuration tab. Press enter to update.
Trim dir
  Configuration tab. Press enter to update.
Cal dir
  Configuration tab. Press enter to update.
Number of modules
  Configuration tab or Advanced tab
Dynamic range
  Advanced tab
Output directory
  Data Output tab.
File name
  Measurement tab.
File index
  Measurement tab (automatically incremented).

## Acquisition setup

Where to find some important parameters (should be set only once, then it should remain in memory):

Settings
  Measurement tab
Threshold
  Measurement tab
Exposure time
  Measurement tab
Number of frames
  Measurement tab for non time-resolved measurement, Time resolved tab for fast real time measurements. if you need some action between frame see Actions tab.
