<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>
<p>
<b>NOTE:</b> This module replaces 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. These older modules will no longer be supported, and users are encouraged
to convert to this new areaDetector software.</p>
<p>
Devices supported in <b>areaDetector</b> include:</p>
<p>
From <a href="http://www.dectris.com">Dectris</a>
</p>
<ul>
<li>The <a href="http://www.dectris.com/sites/pilatus100k.html">Pilatus</a> pixel-array
detector.</li>
</ul>
<p>
From <a href="http://www.prosilica.com">Prosilica</a>
</p>
<ul>
<li>High-speed, high-resolution CCD and CMOS cameras. These use GigE and Firewire
interfaces.</li>
</ul>
<p>
From <a href="http://www.adsc-xray.com/">ADSC</a>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Large CCD detectors for x-ray diffraction. This support is from Lewis Muir of
IMCA-CAT at the APS. </li>
</ul>
<p>
From <a href="http://www.mar-usa.com/">Rayonix/Mar-USA</a></p>
<ul>
<li>MarCCD detectors</li>
</ul>
<p>
From <a href="http://www.marresearch.com/">Marresearch GmbH</a></p>
<ul>
<li>mar345 online image plate reader</li>
</ul>
<p>
From <a href="http://www.roperscientific.com/">Roper</a></p>
<ul>
<li>All CCD detectors supported by the WinView and WinSpec programs. This includes
all <a href="http://www.princetoninstruments.com/">Princeton Instruments</a> detectors,
as well as most <a href="http://www.photomet.com/">Photometrics</a> detectors. </li>
<li>All CCD detectors supported by the PVCam library. This includes all <a href="http://www.photomet.com/">
Photometrics</a> detectors, as well as many <a href="http://www.princetoninstruments.com/">
Princeton Instruments</a> detectors.</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>
<p>
From <a href="http://www.ptgrey.com/products/flea2/index.asp">Point Grey Research</a>
and many other manufacturers</p>
<ul>
<li>All Firewire (IEEE 1394) cameras that follow the <a href="http://damien.douxchamps.net/ieee1394/libdc1394/iidc/IIDC_1.31.pdf">
IIDC/DCAM</a> specification. There is support for Firewire cameras under Windows
in the areaDetector module itself. There is also support for Firewire cameras under
Linux written by Ulrik Pedersen from Diamond Light Source, and distributed separately
from the areaDetector module.</li>
</ul>
<p>
From <a href="http://optoelectronics.perkinelmer.com/">Perkin Elmer</a></p>
<ul>
<li>Amorphous silicon flat panel detectors. This support was written by Brian Tieman
and John Hammonds from the APS.</li>
</ul>

<h2>
Where to find it</h2>
<p>
The areaDetector module is in the <a href="https://subversion.xor.aps.anl.gov/synApps/areaDetector">
synApps Subversion repository at the APS</a>. The "trunk" directory contains the
most recent unreleased code, while the "tags" directory contains the released versions.
</p>
<p>
You can also download the software from the links in the table below. The software
is available both in source code form, and in pre-built form so that it can be used
without an EPICS build system. The pre-built form includes binaries for linux-x86,
win32-x86, cygwin-x86, and some vxWorks architectures.</p>
