-f, --phaseshift <value> : [Gotthard] only. Sets phase shift.
-d, --devel : Developer mode. Skips firmware checks.
-u, --update : Update mode. Skips firmware checks and initial detector setup.

Basics
------------
Detector Servers include:
* Control server [default port: 1952]
* Almost all client communication.
* Stop server [default port: 1953]
* Client requests for detector status, stop acquisition, temperature, advanced read/write registers.
When using a blocking acquire command (sls_detector_acquire or Detector::acquire), the control server is blocked until end of acquisition. However, stop server commands could be used in parallel.
.. _Automatic start servers:
Automatic start
------------------
One can start the on-board detector server automatically upon powering on the board.
#. Create a soft link to the binary on board
:
.. code-block:: bash
ln -sf someDetectorServervx.x.x someDetectorServer
#. Do the following depending on the detector type :
Eiger
.. code-block:: bash
# create script in rc5.d on the board
vi /etc/rc5.d/S50board_com.sh
# enter the following (edit server name)
#! /bin/sh
/home/root/executables/eigerDetectorServer &> /dev/null &
exit 0
