Dev/remove gotthard i (#1108)
* slsSupportLib done, at receiver rooting out in implementation

* removed from receiver and client

* removed everywhere except gui, python and client(commands.yaml and Detector.h)

* updated python

* fixed autocomplete to print what the issue is if there is one with ToString when running the autocomplete script to generate fixed.json. updated readme.md in generator folder

* formatting

* removed enums for dacs

* udpating autocomplete and generating commands

* removed gotthard from docs and release notes

* removed dac test

* bug from removing g1

* fixed virtual test for xilinx, was minor. so in this PR

* gui done

* binary in merge fix

* formatting and removing enums

* updated fixed and dump.json

* bash autocomplete

* updated doc on command line generation

* removing increments in dac enums for backward compatibility. Not required

* removed ROI from rxParameters  (only in g1), not needed to be backward compatible

* removed the phase shift option from det server staruip

.. _Virtual Detector Servers:
Simulators
===========
Compilation
-----------
* Using CMake, turn on the option
.. code-block:: bash
SLS_USE_SIMULATOR=ON
* Using cmk.sh script,
.. code-block:: bash
./cmk.sh -bsj9 # option -s is for simulator
Binaries
^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: bash
eigerDetectorServer_virtual
jungfrauDetectorServer_virtual
gotthard2DetectorServer_virtual
mythen3DetectorServer_virtual
moenchDetectorServer_virtual
ctbDetectorServer_virtual
Arguments
---------
The arguments are the same as the :ref:`normal server arguments<Detector Server Arguments>`.
When using multiple modules, use different ports for each virtual server.
.. code-block:: bash
# will start control server at port 1912 and stop server at port 1913
jungfrauDetectorServer --port 1912 &
# will start second control server at port 1914 and stop server at port 1915
jungfrauDetectorServer --port 1914 &
Client
------
.. code-block:: bash
# hostname should include the port (if not default)
sls_detector_put hostname localhost:1912+localhost:1914+
# or use virtual command, instead of hostname
# connects to 2 servers at localhost
# (control servers: 1912, 1914; stop servers: 1913, 1915)
sls_detector_put virtual 2 1912
Use the same in the config file.
Detector API has a method 'isVirtualDetectorServer' to check if on-board detector server is virtual.
Sample Config file
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There are sample config files for each detector in slsDetectorPackage/examples folder.
For a Single Module (Basic)
.. code-block:: bash
hostname localhost
rx_hostname localhost
udp_dstip auto
For a Single Module (With Options)
.. code-block:: bash
# connects to control port 1912
hostname localhost:1912+
# connects to receiver at ports 2012
rx_hostname mpc1922:2012+
# sets destination udp ports (not needed, default is 50001)
udp_dstport 50012
# source udp ips must be same subnet at destintaion udp ips
# takes the same ip as hostname
udp_srcip auto
# destination udp ip picked up from rx_hostname (if auto)
udp_dstip auto
# set file path
fpath /tmp
For Multiple Modules
.. code-block:: bash
# connects to control ports 1912, 1914 and stop ports 1913, 1915
virtual 2 1912
# or hostname localhost:1912+localhost:1914+
# increasing receiver tcp ports (multi detector command)
rx_tcpport 2012
# connects to reciever at port 2012 and 2013
rx_hostname mpc1922
# sets increasing destination udp ports
udp_dstport 50012
# source udp ips must be same subnet at destintaion udp ips
0:udp_srcip 192.168.1.112
1:udp_srcip 192.168.1.114
# destination udp ip picked up from rx_hostname (if auto)
udp_dstip auto
# set file path
fpath /tmp
Receivers
----------
Same as if you would use an actual detector
For a Single Module
.. code-block:: bash
slsReceiver -t2012
For Multiple Modules
.. code-block:: bash
# slsMultiReceiver [starting port] [number of receivers] [print each frame header for debugging]
slsMultiReceiver 2012 2 0
Gui
----
| Same as if you would use an actual detector.
| Compile with SLS_USE_GUI=ON in cmake or -g option in cmk.sh script.
.. code-block:: bash
slsDetectorGui
Limitations
-----------
#. Data coming out of virtual server is fake.
#. A stop will stop the virtual acquisition only at the start of every new frame.
#. Triggers are counted as number of virtual frames. trigger command to send a software trigger (Mythen3 & Eiger) is not implemented in virtual server.
#. firmware version and serial number will give 0.
