Command line interface
==============================================
Usage
-------------
The syntax is *'[detector index]-[module index]:[command]'*, where the indices are by default '0', when not specified.
.. _cl-module-index-label:
Module index
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Modules are indexed based on their order in the hostname command. They are used to configure a specific module within a detector and are followed by a ':' in syntax.
.. code-block::
# Applies to all modules of detector 0
sls_detector_put exptime 5s
# Applies to only the 4th module
sls_detector_put 3:exptime 5s
Detector index
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This index is useful when configuring multiple detectors from a single host. Each detector uses a unique shared memory identified by a detector index, derived again from the hostname command. It is followed by a '-'.
.. code-block::
# For detector with index 2 in shared memory
sls_detector_put 2-hostname bchip133+bchip123+bchip456
# Without '-', the detector index defaults to 0
sls_detector_put hostname bchip133+bchip123+bchip456
# Accessing all modules with detector index 2
sls_detector_put 2-exptime
# Starting acquisition only for detector with index 2
sls_detector_put 2-start
# Applies only to the 2nd detector, 4th module
sls_detector_put 1-3:exptime 5s
Command Execution
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Commands can be executed using:
* **sls_detector_put**: setting values
* **sls_detector_get**: getting values
* **sls_detector**: automatically infers based on the number of arguments.
* **sls_detector_help**: gets help on the specific command
* **sls_detector_acquire**: initiates acquisition with the detector. This command blocks until the entire acquisition process is completed.
Help
--------
.. code-block::
# get list of commands
sls_detector_get list
# search for a particular command using a word
sls_detector_get list | grep adc
# get help for a particular command
sls_detector_get -h fpath
sls_detector_help fpath
# list of deprecated commands
list deprecated
Autocompletion
---------------
bash_autocomplete.sh or zsh_autocomplete.sh must be sourced from the main package folder to enable auto completion of commands and arguments for the command line on that shell.
.. code-block::
source bash_autocomplete.sh
Commands
-----------
.. include:: ../commands.rst
Deprecated commands
------------------------
.. note ::
All the dac commands are preceded with the **dac** command. Use command **daclist** to get correct list of dac command arguments for current detector.
