Merge branch 'main' into 8.0.0.rc

* if blocking and handling sync, only master gets blocking acq, slaves get non blocking as they are first and so dont get status or error caught when slaves dont get trigger (due to not connected etc) and acq returns with slaves still in waiting status. so check status of all in blocking acq

* for all dets with sync, ensure atleast one master when starting acq

* docs updated about sync

+
+2.1 Breaking API
+==================
+
+
+    Firmware
+    --------
+
+    *   [Jungfrau] Status register and Sync mode fix
+        The regiser bit definition changed and fixes for stable control in sync mode.
+        Effect: Master and slaves give same status (previously master is sometimes 'idle' when acquisition is stopped), same #frames left and #nextframenumber.
+        Also ERROR status connected, but never noticed to occur.
+
+        For user, everything is transparent unless one touches status register
+        using advanced commands. 
+
+
+    *   [Moench] Status: Development mode
+        Moench is now being made compatible with Jungfrau v2.0 readout boards. 
+        Hence, firmware and software is in development mode. 
+        7.x.x will continue to have fixes for Moench until this version is deployed.
+
+
+    *   [Ctb] Fixes and features described later on.
+
+
+    Client
+    ======
+
+
+    *   Datatype change of port numbers from int to uint16_t   
+        API: setVirtualDetectorServers, 
+        get/setRxPort, get/setControlPort, get/setStopPort,
+        get/setDestinationUDPPort(2), get/setRxZmqPort, get/setClientZmqPort
+
+
+    *   [Eiger] versions, hardware version, febl/r firmware version 
+        Versions command modified to give more info about hardware version ['fx30', 'fx70'] and Febl/r firmware versions.
+        Command line: versions (output modified), hardwareversion (added for Eiger)
+        API added for Eiger: getHardwareVersion, getFrontEndFirmwareVersion
+        Enums added: fpgaPosition {FRONT_LEFT, FRONT_RIGHT}
+    
+
+    *   [Ctb] Voltage->Power name change
+        Command line: voltagelist ->powerlist
+        API: get/setVoltage -> get/setPower, get/setVoltageList -> get/setPowerList,
+        getMeasuredVoltage -> getMeasuredPower
+
+
+
+2.2 Resolved or Changed Features
+================================
+
+
+    Detector Server
+    ---------------
+
+
+    *   Set bit and clear bit validation
+        Previously, validation expected all the other bits in the register to 
+        not change. Now, it only validates the selected bit.
+
+    
+    *   [Jungfrau] Electron collection mode (bit 14 of 0x5D register)
+        Affected Command line: setbit, clearbit, reg
+        Affected API: setBit, clearBit, writeRegister
+        Electron collection mode and requires chip reconfiguration. 
+        Temporary fix added that touching this bit will reconfigure chip if chip 
+        is v1.1 and powered on. Permanent fix by introducing a command for the 
+        same in future release.
+    
+
+    *   [Ctb] Fixes
+
+        -   Patioctrl, patsetbit, patbitmask
+            MSB (64 bit unsigned) could not be set as a value of -1 was interpreted 
+            as a 'get'. Fixed in server. 
+
+        -   Allow dac tristate when v_limit is set. Fixed.
+
+        -   Changing fw bit from disable analog to enable analog
+
+        -   Allow adc enable for 1 GbE and 10GbE to be 0.
+
+        -   Slow ADCs previously misread (a high 5k+ value). Firmware updated 
+            and software adjusted now.
+
+        -   Allow non blocking acquire for 1GbE. Added Transmitting status when it
+            might still be reading from fifo.
+
+        -   Clean memory before reading from fifo in 1GbE mode. Read fifo then
+            RD strobe (corresponding firmware fix) fixes number of reads, but 
+            increases all pipelines by 1.
+        
+        -   Fixed pattern viewer (auto legend buf without wait and loop), allow 
+            pyat files. (/patterngenerator)
+
+
+    Simulator
+    ---------
+
+
+    *   Unique TCP port for multiple simulators
+        Checks include unique TCP port-hostname combo.
+
+
+    Receiver
+    --------
+
+
+    *   Unique TCP port for multiple receivers
+        7.x.x already has automatically increasing TCP ports in shared memory 
+        for multiple receivers. Now, checks include unique TCP port-hostname 
+        combo.
+
+
+    *   [Ctb] Fixes
+
+        -   Readout mode updated
+            'rx_hostname' should configure the receiver with parameters from detector,
+            but readout mode in receiver always configured at start up to Analog only. 
+            Fixed.
+
+        -   Incorrect image size in zmq header, which happens when dbit list is 
+            less than 64 bits. Fixed.
+
+        -   Rearranging digital data when dbit list less than 64 bits fixed.
+
+
+    Client
+    ------
+
+
+    *   [Jungfrau][Mythen3][Gotthard2] Sync mode should have at least one master
+        Multi module synced detectors should have at least one master when 
+        starting acquisition, else it will throw. Once master is done acquiring
+        (blocking mode), status of all modules checked to ensure none of the 
+        slaves in waiting due to hardware issues such as cabling.
+
+
+
+2.3 New Features
+================
+
+
+    Client
+    ------
+    
+
+    *   [Jungfrau] Pedestal mode
+        Command line: pedestalmode
+        API: get/setPedestalMode
+        Example: 
+            pedestalmode 0 # turns off pedestal mode
+            pedestalmode 50 10 # turns on pedestal mode (50 pedestal frames, 10 loops)
+        
+        In pedestal mode, number of frames/triggers
+        is overwritten by '#pedestal_frames x #pedestal_loops x 2'.
+        In auto timing mode or trigger mode with #frames > 1, #frames is overwritten
+        with #triggers is 1. Otherwise, #triggers is overwritten with #frames is 1.
+        In pedestal mode, one cannot set #frames, #triggers or timing mode (exception).
+
+        Disabling pedestal mode will set back to normal mode with normal previous
+        values of #frames and #triggers.
+
+
+    *   Source UDP IP: Auto
+        Command line: udp_srcip, udp_srcip2
+        API: get/setSourceUDPIP(2)
+        Allow 'auto' for udp_srcip to pick up IP from detector hostname. Not allowed
+        for Gotthard1.
+
+
+    *   Custom row and column for detector UDP header
+        Command line: row, column
+        API: get/setRow, get/setColumn
+        By default, row and column of module is determined in a pre-determined 
+        manner or by custom detector size (Command line: detsize).
+        This is useful if user accesses row and column in multi- detector UDP header 
+        or for the GUI to rearrange for complete image.
+        Option now added to set custom row and column. 
+
+
+    *   [Ctb] Features
+
+        -   List for ADC, signal, power, slowadc 
+            Also allow their list to set names and to obtain their indices and values.
+
+            Command line: dacname, dacindex, 
+            adclist, adcname, adcindex, 
+            signallist, signalname,signalindex, 
+            powerlist, powername, powerindex, powervalues,
+            slowadclist, slowadcname, slowadcindex, slowadcvalues
+
+            API: get/setDacName, getDacIndex, 
+            get/setAdcNames, getAdcIndex, get/setAdcName,
+            get/setSignalNames, getSignalIndex, get/setSignalName,
+            get/setPowerNames, getPowerIndex, get/setPowerName, getPowerList,
+            get/setSlowADCNames, getSlowADCIndex, get/setSlowADCName, getSlowADCList
+
+        -   Added more modes for transceiver in read out mode.
+            Allow to set number of samples and enable mask for transceiver.
+
+            Command line: romode (more modes: 'transceiver', 'digital_transceiver'),
+            tsamples, transceiverenable
+            API: get/setTransceiverEnableMask, get/setNumberOfTransceiverSamples,
+            get/setReadoutMode (more enums: TRANSCEIVER_ONLY, DIGITAL_AND_TRANSCEIVER)
+
+
+        -   Command to get file name with path of last pattern uploaded.
+            Command line: patfname
+            API: getPatterFileName
+
+
+    *   Automatic test script for all virtual simulators added.
