* loop for stop, 10 retries
For example, if module A got a "stop" during an acquisition, it stops to an 'Idle' state. If module B gets a "stop" before an acquisition, it will return it is in 'Idle' state and continue to start the next acquisition, but module B then waits for "ready for trigger" synchronization from module A, which it will never get. Since module B missed the asynchronous stop command, the workaround in the client is to send another "stop" command (upto 10 retries) till it returns Idle.
* added a lock when stopping or starting state machine in eiger server
* added 5ms right after acq started to make sure it really started
* added 100ms right after acq started to make sure it really started
- qt4->qt5
- in built qt5 6.1.5 because rhel7 is not upto date with qt5, removed findqwt.cmake
- made a fix in qwt lib (qwt_plot_layout.h) to work with 5.15 and lower versions for qrect constr.
- qt5 forms fixed, qt4 many hard coding forms switched to forms including qtabwidget, scrolls etc, fonts moved to forms
- docking option enabled by default, removed option to disable docking feature from "Mode"
- added qVersionResolve utility functions to handle compatibility before and after qt5.12
- qtplots (ian's code) takes in gain mode enable to set some settings within the class, with proper gain plot ticks
- ensure gain plots have no zooming of z axis in 2d and y axis in 1d
- removed placeholder text in qpalette in main window form as its not supportd until 5.12 (so using qt5.9 designer insted of qt5.15 to cope)
- tab order
Servers:
- fixed some error messages that were empty for fail in funcs (mostly minor as if this error, major issues)
- removed getClientServerAPIVersion in server (not used)
- removed rxr side (clientversion compatibility check), removed enum as well as it is now done on the client side.
- versionAPI.h
- GITBRANCH changed to RELEASE
- dates for all API changed to "sem_version date". Scripts to compile servers modified for this. Empty "branch" name will end up with developer for sem_version.
- Version class with constructor taking in the long version (APILIB date). Other member functions including concise(to get sem_version for new releases and date for old releases),
- bypassing initial tests, also now bypasses the client-rxr compatibility check (at rx_hostname command)
- previously, compatibility between client-det was ensuring both had the same detector API (eg. same APIJUNGFRAU)
- Now, compatibility only checks APILIB (client side) and detector API(eg. APIJUNGFRAU) (detector side) have same major version. It only does backward compatibility test. Rest is upto user to ensure.
- If server is from an older release, it will compare dates like previous implementation (APIJUNGFRAU from both client and det)
- - previously, compatibility between client-rxr was ensuring both had the same APIRECEIVER
- Now, compatibility only checks APILIB (client side) and APIRECEIVER (rxr side) have same major version. It only does backward compatibility test. Rest is upto user to ensure.
- If rxr is from an older release, it will compare dates like previous implementation (APIRECEIVER from both client and rxr)
- removed APIGUI, evalVersionVariables.sh, genVersionHeader.sh (not needed or not used)
- clientVersion, rxrversion and detectorserverversion all return strings and not integers (in hex) anymore. Depending if it has semantic versioning, it will print that or the date if it is too old.
- fixed in python (strings for versions)
- check_version function in detector server changed to "initial checks" as it only checks server-firmware compatibility and initial server checks. Client compatibilities are moved to client side.
- --version gives sem_version and date? Is date needed as well. The clientversion, detserverversion and rxrversion API gives only sem_version (no date)
- - formatting
