Changes in User Interface
=========================
Receiver
--------
1. Bug Fix: Example receiver users code now handles child process exit
better. Example receiver code in slsDetectorsPackage/manual/manual-api
folder (mainReceiver.cpp).
2. detReceiver is now executed with [start tcp port] [number of receivers]
as arguments. By default, start tcp port is 1954 and number of receivers
is 1.
User
----
1. Added a few advanced user functions in slsDetectorUser class.
New Features
============
Detector Server
---------------
1. (Eiger): Virtual class to execute on pc for integration.
Client
------
1. Parallelized more commands to detector. Beneficial for large multi detector systems.
2. One can set "threaded" to 0 in the config file and acquire from command line. It will
not give you progress, but might be faster for large multi detector systems.
Receiver
--------
1. Added silent mode to receiver using command r_silent [i] from client.
It might be beneficial for max frame rate applications.
Resolved Issues
===============
Gui
---
1. (Eiger) in advanced mode: Loading trimbits and gui complains of different trimbits and
sets all trimbits to 0. This has been resolved now.
Known Issues
============
Client
------
1. Changing file name prefix at the single detector level will not concatenate scan or
position variables to the file name prefix. This is now done only at the multi
detector level.
Server
------
1. (Eiger) The hardware mac of the detector is used (not relayed back to the client).
For 1 GbE, the hardware IP of the detector is used (also not relayed back to the
client).
2. Standard header fills x-coord in 1D. y-coord and z-coord is not implemented (3D).
Receiver
--------
3. HDF5 compression and filters are not implemented yet.
