+
+The ``slsDetectorPackage`` provides core detector software implemented in C++, along with Python bindings packaged as the ``slsdet`` Python extension module. Choose the option that best fits your environment and use case.
+
+:ref:`conda pre-built binaries`: 
+Install pre-built binaries for the C++ client, receiver, GUI and the Python API (``slsdet``), simplifying setup across platforms.
+
+:ref:`pip`:
+Install only the Python extension module, either by downloading the pre-built library from PyPI or by building the extension locally from source. Available only from v9.2.0 onwards.
+
+:ref:`build from source`: 
+Compile the entire package yourself, including both the C++ core and the Python bindings, for maximum control and customization. However, make sure that you have the :doc:`dependencies <../dependencies>` installed. If installing using conda, conda will manage the dependencies. Avoid installing packages with pip and conda simultaneously.

+Using multiple detectors
+==========================
+
+The slsDetectorPackage supports using several detectors on the same computer.
+This can either be two users, that need to use the same computer without interfering
+with each other, or the same user that wants to use multiple detectors at the same time.
+The detectors in turn can consist of multiple modules. For example, a 9M Jungfrau detector
+consists of 18 modules which typically are addressed at once as a single detector.
+
+.. note ::
+
+    To address a single module of a multi-module detector you can use the module index. 
+    
+    - Command line: :ref:`cl-module-index-label`
+    - Python: :ref:`py-module-index-label`
+
+
+Coming back to multiple detectors we have two tools to our disposal:
+
+#. Detector index 
+#. The SLSDETNAME environment variable
+
+They can be used together or separately depending on the use case.
+
+Detector index
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+When configuring a detector you can specify a detector index. The default is 0. 
+
+**Command line**
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # Given that we have two detectors (my-det and my-det2) that we want to use,
+    # we can configure them with different indices.
+
+    # Configure the first detector with index 0
+    $ sls_detector_put hostname my-det
+    
+    # Set number of frames for detector 0 to 10
+    $ sls_detector_put frames 10
+
+
+    # 
+    #Configure the second detector with index 1 (notice the 1- before hostname)
+    $ sls_detector_put 1-hostname my-det2
+    
+
+    # Further configuration
+    ...
+
+    # Set number of frames for detector 1 to 19
+    $ sls_detector_put 1-frames 19
+
+    # Note that if we call sls_detector_get without specifying the index,
+    # it will return the configuration of detector 0
+    $ sls_detector_get frames
+    10
+
+The detector index is added to the name of the shared memory segment, so in this case
+the shared memory segments would be:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+
+    #First detector
+    /dev/shm/slsDetectorPackage_detector_0
+    /dev/shm/slsDetectorPackage_detector_0_module_0
+
+    #Second detector
+    /dev/shm/slsDetectorPackage_detector_1
+    /dev/shm/slsDetectorPackage_detector_1_module_0
+
+
+**Python**
+
+The main difference between the command line and the Python API is that you set the index
+when you create the detector object and you don't have to repeat it for every call.
+
+The C++ API works int the same way. 
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from slsdet import Detector
+    
+
+    # The same can be achieved in Python by creating a detector object with an index.
+    # Again we have two detectors (my-det and my-det2) that we want to use:
+
+    # Configure detector with index 0
+    d = Detector()
+
+    # If the detector has already been configured and has a shared memory
+    # segment, you can omit setting the hostname again
+    d.hostname = 'my-det'
+
+    #Further configuration
+    ...
+
+    # Configure a second detector with index 1
+    d2 = Detector(1)
+    d2.hostname = 'my-det2'
+   
+    d.frames = 10
+    d2.frames = 19
+ 
+
+$SLSDETNAME
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To avoid interfering with other users on shared PCs it is best to always set the SLSDETNAME environmental variable.
+Imagining a fictive user: Anna, we can set SLSDETNAME from the shell before configuring the detector:
+
+**Command line**
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # Set the SLSDETNAME variable
+    $ export SLSDETNAME=Anna
+
+    # You can check that it is set
+    $ echo $SLSDETNAME
+    Anna
+
+    # Now configures a detector with index 0 and prefixed with the name Anna
+    # /dev/shm/slsDetectorPackage_detector_0_Anna
+    $ sls_detector_put hostname my-det
+
+
+.. tip ::
+
+    Set SLSDETNAME in your .bashrc in order to not forget it when opening a new terminal.
+
+
+**Python**
+
+With python the best way is to set the SLSDETNAME from the command line before starting the python interpreter.
+
+Bash:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ export SLSDETNAME=Anna
+
+Python:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from slsdet import Detector
+    
+    # Now configures a detector with index 0 and prefixed with the name Anna
+    # /dev/shm/slsDetectorPackage_detector_0_Anna
+    d = Detector()
+    d.hostname = 'my-det'
+
+You can also set SLSDETNAME from within the Python interpreter, but you have to be aware that it will only
+affect the current process and not the whole shell session.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    import os
+    os.environ['SLSDETNAME'] = 'Anna'
+
+    # You can check that it is set
+    print(os.environ['SLSDETNAME'])  # Output: Anna
+
+    #Now SLSDETNAME is set to Anna but as soon as you exit the python interpreter
+    # it will not be set anymore
+
+.. note ::
+
+    Python has two ways of reading environment variables: `**os.environ**` as shown above which throws a

+
+Checking for other detectors
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If using shared accounts on a shared computer (which you anyway should not do), it is good practice to check
+if there are other detectors configured by other users before configuring your own detector.
+
+You can do this by listing the files in the shared memory directory `/dev/shm/` that start with `sls`. In this
+example we can see that two single module detectors are configured one with index 0 and one with index 1.
+SLSDETNAME is set to `Anna` so it makes sense to assume that she is the user that configured these detectors.
+
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # List the files in /dev/shm that starts with sls
+    $ ls /dev/shm/sls*
+    /dev/shm/slsDetectorPackage_detector_0_Anna
+    /dev/shm/slsDetectorPackage_detector_0_module_0_Anna
+    /dev/shm/slsDetectorPackage_detector_1_Anna
+    /dev/shm/slsDetectorPackage_detector_1_module_0_Anna
+
+We also provide a command: user, which gets information about the shared memory segment that
+the client points to without doing any changes. 
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    #in this case 3 simulated Mythen3 modules
+    $ sls_detector_get user
+    user 
+    Hostname: localhost+localhost+localhost+
+    Type: Mythen3
+    PID: 1226078
+    User: l_msdetect
+    Date: Mon Jun  2 05:46:20 PM CEST 2025
+
+
+Other considerations
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The shared memory is not the only way to interfere with other users. You also need to make sure that you are not
+using the same:
+
+* rx_tcpport
+* Unique combination of udp_dstip and udp_dstport
+* rx_zmqport
+* zmqport
+
+.. attention ::
+
+    The computer that you are using need to have enough resources to run multiple detectors at the same time.
+    This includes CPU and network bandwidth. Please coordinate with the other users!

+From the more pythonic API there is no way to read from only one module but you can read 
+and then use list slicing to get the values for the modules you are interested in.

+Custom Receiver
 =================
 
-Receiver processes can be run on same or different machines as the client, receives the data from the detector (via UDP packets).
-When using the slsReceiver/ slsMultiReceiver, they can be further configured by the client control software (via TCP/IP) to set file name, file path, progress of acquisition etc.
+The receiver essentially listens to UDP data packets sent out by the detector.
+
+To know more about detector receiver setup in the config file, please check out :ref:`the detector-receiver UDP configuration in the config file<detector udp header config>` and the :ref:`detector udp format<detector udp header>`.

-Custom Receiver
-----------------
+* **udp_dstmac** must be configured in the config file. This parameter is not required when using an in-built receiver.

 ================================
 
-| One has to start the slsReceiver before loading config file or using any receiver commands (prefix: **rx_** )

+The receiver essentially listens to UDP data packets sent out by the detector. It's main features are:
+
+- **Listening**: Receives UDP data from the detector.
+- **Writing to File**: Optionally writes received data to disk.
+- **Streaming via ZMQ**: Optionally streams out the data using ZeroMQ.

+Each of these operations runs asynchronously and in parallel for each UDP port.

+
+    * Can be run on the same or different machine as the client.

-| One can use "auto" for **udp_dstip** if one wants to use default ip of **rx_hostname**.
