Release 1-3 (15-November-2008)</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>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.</li>
|
|
<li>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.</li>
|
|
<li>Added new methods for shutter support to the detector base class ADDriver.cpp
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>ADDriver::setShutter()</li>
|
|
<li>ADDriver::writeInt32</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Added new enums in ADStdDriverParams.h
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>ADFrameType_t</li>
|
|
<li>ADShutterMode_t</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Added new parameters in ADStdDriverParams.h
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>ADShutterControl (replaces ADShutter)</li>
|
|
<li>ADShutterControlEPICS</li>
|
|
<li>ADShutterStatus</li>
|
|
<li>ADShutterMode</li>
|
|
<li>ADShutterOpenDelay</li>
|
|
<li>ADShutterCloseDelay</li>
|
|
<li>ADTimeRemaining</li>
|
|
<li>ADNumImagesCounter</li>
|
|
<li>ADArrayCallbacks</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
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. </li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|

|
Release 1-2 (24-October-2008)</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Major update to documentation</li>
|
|
<li>Significant enhancement to ROI plugin. Added net counts, ROI highlighting.</li>
|
|
<li>Added driver for Pilatus detectors. This has undergone limited testing.</li>
|
|
<li>Added driver for ADSC detectors (done by Lewis Muir, IMCA-CAT)</li>
|
|
<li>Removed separate readback parameters in drivers and template files</li>
|
|
<li>Changed from mbbi/mbbo records to bi/bo records where possible now that the asynInt32
|
|
interface supports bi/bo records.</li>
|
|
<li>Internals
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Renamed asynParamBase to asynPortDriver.</li>
|
|
<li>Renamed NDArrayBase to NDArrayDriver</li>
|
|
<li>Renamed NDPluginBase to NDPluginDriver</li>
|
|
<li>Renamed NDArrayBuff to NDArrayPool, now in NDArray.cpp.</li>
|
|
<li>Renamed ADDriverBase to ADDriver</li>
|
|
<li>Removed ADUtils</li>
|
|
<li>The asynHandle interface in asyn was renamed to asynGenericPointer, many changes
|
|
to incorporate this.</li>
|
|
<li>Base class constructor no longer initializes all asyn interfaces, only the selected
|
|
ones.</li>
|
|
<li>NDArray pool is no longer global, each server creates its own pool if needed.</li>
|
|
<li>Implemented real routines for writeInt32, writeFloat64, and writeOctet in asynPortDriver.cpp,
|
|
removed them from ADDriver.cpp where they were not needed.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h2 style="text-align: center">
|
|
Release 1-1 (10-May-2008)</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Major rewrite. Converted device drivers and plugins from C to C++ with C++ base
|
|
classes that handle many of the details of asyn and of callbacks and threading for
|
|
plugins.</li>
|
|
<li>Everything except device drivers and top-level EPICS databases and channel access
|
|
clients are now fully N-dimensional, not restricted to 2-D.</li>
|
|
<li>NDPluginFile now uses netCDF format, which is a portable self-describing binary
|
|
file format.</li>
|
|
<li>Added NDPluginROI which implements region-of-interest.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h2 style="text-align: center">

|
Release 1-0 (11-Apr-2008)</h2>
|
|
