Introduction

This program is intended to control the MYTHEN detectors via command line interface.

To get all the possibilities of usage simply type:

sls_detector_acquire

to readout the detector at full speed

sls_detector_put

to set detector parameters

sls_detector_get

to retrieve detector parameters

There are different ways for communicationg with your detector(s).

multiDetector

is represented by a group of controllers which operate symultaneously with the same parameters. You can define several multiDetector systems and int this case you address them using different indexes. In this case the syntax will be sls\_detector\_cmd i- where cmd can be acquire, put, get and i is the index of the multiDetector entity (if omitted defaults to 0 - standard usage). Normally it is handy to use the multiDetector structure also in case of single detectors. However in some cases one cannot avoid using the slsDetector structure for detailed configuration (e.g. meaning of external signals or other flags)

slsDetector

is represented by a single controller. You can define several multiDetector systems and int this case you address them using different indexes. In this case the syntax will be sls\_detector\_cmd i: where cmd can be acquire, put, get and i is the index of the slsDetector entity, which cannot be omitted. When creating the multiDetector structure, the indexes are automatically assigned to the detectors contained in it. You can retrieve the indexes relative to the slsDetector using: sls\_detector\_get hostname:pos, sls\_detector\_get id:pos whic will return the hostname in position pos of your multiDetector structure (pos=0 in case of single detectors) and its index.
