Common C++ library for SLS detectors data acquisition

Introduction

Motivation

Although the SLS detectors group delvelops several types of detectors (1/2D, counting/integrating etc.) it is common interest of the group to use a common platfor for data acquisition

System Architecture

The architecture of the acquisitions system is intended as follows:

• A socket server running on the detector (or more than one in some special cases)
• C++ classes common to all detectors for client-server communication. These can be supplied to users as libraries and embedded also in acquisition systems which are not developed by the SLS

• the possibility of using a Qt-based graphical user interface (with eventually root analisys capabilities)
• the possibility of runnin alla commands from command line. In order to ensure a fast operation of this so called "text client" the detector parameters should not be re-initialized everytime. For this reason a shared memory block is allocated where the main detector flags and parameters are stored
