areaDetector Release Notes
+
+ Release 1-3 (15-November-2008)
+
+ - Added a driver for MarCCD detectors. Compared to the previous support in the "ccd"
+ module, this driver uses the faster Version 1 protocol for the Mar server. It also
+ makes the detector data available via callbacks (by reading the TIFF files as soon
+ as they are written). This allows detector data to be displayed with EPICS clients,
+ and for ROI calculations.
+ - Added support for shutter control. Supports shutters that are driven directly
+ from the detector hardware, as well as shutters controlled by EPICS records. Shutter
+ support is implemented for the MarCCD, Pilatus, and simulation detectors.
+ - Added new methods for shutter support to the detector base class ADDriver.cpp
+
+ - ADDriver::setShutter()
+ - ADDriver::writeInt32
+
+
+ - Added new enums in ADStdDriverParams.h
+
+ - ADFrameType_t
+ - ADShutterMode_t
+
+
+ - Added new parameters in ADStdDriverParams.h
+
+ - ADShutterControl (replaces ADShutter)
+ - ADShutterControlEPICS
+ - ADShutterStatus
+ - ADShutterMode
+ - ADShutterOpenDelay
+ - ADShutterCloseDelay
+ - ADTimeRemaining
+ - ADNumImagesCounter
+ - ADArrayCallbacks
+
+ ADArrayCallbacks can be set to 0 to disable callbacks with detector data. For the
+ MarCCD and Pilatus detectors setting this to 0 will disable reading the disk files
+ after collection. This can be used to reduce overhead when EPICS is being used just
+ for control, rather than to access the data.
+
Release 1-2 (24-October-2008)
- Major update to documentation
- Significant enhancement to ROI plugin. Added net counts, ROI highlighting.
- - Added driver for Pilatus detectors. This has undergone limited testing.

- Removed separate readback parameters in drivers and template files
