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.
