<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.

<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 <top> 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 <a href="mailto:rivers@cars.uchicago.edu">Mark Rivers</a> so that a record can be kept of which sites are
|
|
using this software.</li>
|
|
</ol>
