<title>areaDetector: EPICS software for area detectors</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>areaDetector: EPICS software for area detectors</h1>
<p>Module Owner: Mark Rivers: University of Chicago</p>
<p>This page is the home of <b>areaDetector</b>, an application for controlling area (2-D)
detectors, including CCDs, pixel array detectors, and online imaging plates.
<P>
<B>NOTE:</B> This module will replace the
<a href="http://cars.uchicago.edu/software/epics/ccd.html">ccd</a>
and
<a href="http://cars.uchicago.edu/software/epics/epilatusROI.html">pilatusROI</a>
modules.
&nbsp;</p>
<p>Devices supported in <b>areaDetector</b> include:</p>
<p>From <A href="http://www.dectris.com">Dectris</A>
<UL>
<LI> The <A href="http://www.dectris.com/sites/pilatus100k.html">Pilatus</A>
pixel-array detector.
</UL>
<p>From <A href="http://www.prosilica.com">Prosilica</A>
<UL>
<LI> High-speed, high-resolution CCD cameras. These use GigE and Firewire interfaces.
</UL>
<p>From <a href="http://www.mar-usa.com/">MAR</a></p>
<UL>
<LI>MAR-165 CCD camera.</li>
<LI>MAR-345 online image plate reader</li>
</ul>
<p>From <a href="http://www.roperscientific.com/">Roper</a></p>
<UL>
<LI>All CCD cameras supported by the WinView program.&nbsp; This includes the
entire Princeton Instruments line, as well as most of the
Photometrics line.</li>
</ul>
<p>From <a href="http://www.bruker-axs.de/">Bruker</a></p>
<UL>
<LI>The SMART CCD camera line with Photometrics cameras.
This requires the PCI interface card, replacing the old ISA bus card, and requires
controlling the detector with WinView, not the SMART software.</li>
</ul>

responsible for coordinating development and releases.</p>

<h2>Installation and Building</h2>
<p>After obtaining a copy of the distribution, it must be installed
and built for use at your site. These steps only need to be
performed once for the site (unless versions of the module running
under different releases of EPICS and/or the other required modules
are needed).</p>
<ol>
<LI>Create an installation directory for the module, usually this
will end with<br>
<br>
<tt>.../support/</tt>
<br>
</li>
<LI>Place the distribution file in this directory. Then issue the
commands (Unix style)
<pre>tar xvzf areaDetectorRX-Y.tgz
</pre>
where X-Y is the release.</li>
<LI>This creates a &lt;top&gt; application.<br>
<pre>.../support/areaDetectorRX-Y
</pre></li>
<LI>Edit the <tt>config[ure]/RELEASE</tt> file and set the paths to
your installation of EPICS base and to your versions of supporting modules.</li>
<LI>Run <tt>gnumake</tt> in the top level directory and check for
any compilation errors.</li>
<LI>Please email&nbsp; <a href="mailto:rivers@cars.uchicago.edu">Mark Rivers</a>&nbsp; so that a record can be kept of which sites are
using this software.</li>
</ol>
<h2>In Use</h2>

To make the PNG file from the PPT file, select the entire page (^A), right click, Save as Picture, select PNG.
Saving the slide as PNG with Save As works, but it is lower resolution so the text is ugly.
