slsDetector package

The SLS Detectors Package is intended to control the detectors developed by the SLS Detectors Group.
The detectors currently supported are namely MYTHEN, GOTTHARD, EIGER, JUNGFRAU and MOENCH.

Installation

Binaries

Documentation to obtain the binaries via the conda package is available here.

Source code

One can also obtain the source code from this repository and compile while realizing the setup dependencies as required.

git clone https://github.com/slsdetectorgroup/slsDetectorPackage.git --branch 3.0.1

Setup dependencies

• Gui Client
  Requirements: Qt 4.8 and Qwt 6.0

    export QTDIR=/usr/local/Trolltech/
    export QWTDIR=/usr/local/qwt-6.0.1/

If either of them does not exist, the GUI client will not be built.

• Calibration wizards
  Requirements: ROOT

    export ROOTSYS=/usr/local/root-5.34

Compilation

Compiling can be done in two ways.

1. Compile using script cmk.sh

After compiling, the libraries and executables will be found in slsDetectorPackage/build/bin directory

Usage: [-c] [-b] [-h] [-d HDF5 directory] [-j]

• -[no option]: only make
  
• -c: Clean
  
• -b: Builds/Rebuilds CMake files normal mode
  
• -h: Builds/Rebuilds Cmake files with HDF5 package
  
• -d: HDF5 Custom Directory
  
• -t: Build/Rebuilds only text client
  
• -r: Build/Rebuilds only receiver
  
• -g: Build/Rebuilds only gui
  
• -j: Number of threads to compile through
  

For only make: ./cmk.sh

For make clean;make: ./cmk.sh -c

For using hdf5 without custom dir /blabla: ./cmk.sh -h -d /blabla

For rebuilding cmake without hdf5 ./cmk.sh -b

For using multiple cores to compile faster:
(all these options work)
./cmk.sh -j9
./cmk.sh -cj9 #with clean
./cmk.sh -hj9 #with hdf5
./cmk.sh -j9 -h #with hdf

For rebuilding only certain sections
./cmk.sh -tg #only text client and gui
./cmk.sh -r #only receiver

2. Compile without script Use cmake to create out-of-source builds, by creating a build folder parallel to source directory.

    $ cd ..
    $ mkdir slsDetectorPackage-build
    $ cd slsDetectorPackage-build
    $ cmake ../slsDetectorPackage -DUSE_TEXTCLIENT=ON -DUSE_RECEIVER=ON -DUSE_GUI=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DUSE_HDF5=OFF 
    $ make

Use the following as an example to compile statically and using specific hdf5 folder

    $ HDF5_ROOT=/opt/hdf5v1.10.0 cmake ../slsDetectorPackage -DUSE_TEXTCLIENT=ON -DUSE_RECEIVER=ON -DUSE_GUI=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DUSE_HDF5=ON

After compiling, the libraries and executables will be found at bin directory

    $ ls bin/
    gui_client  libSlsDetector.a  libSlsDetector.so  libSlsReceiver.a  libSlsReceiver.so
    sls_detector_acquire  sls_detector_get  slsDetectorGui  sls_detector_help  sls_detector_put  slsReceiver
