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. </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 <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>
