SCS2001 High Voltage APD

This repository contains the driver code and Midas frontend for the SCS2001 High Voltage Avalanche Photodiode system developed at PSI.

Requirements

Requires a Midas installation with the environment variable MIDASSYS pointing to the built Midas artifacts and headers.

Build

Clone this repository, enter the cloned directory, and then build via CMake.

cmake -S "$(pwd)" -B <directory-to-build-in> -DBUILD_FRONTEND=ON
cmake --build <directory-to-build-in> --clean-first -- -j8

Run

<directory-to-build-in>/scs2001_hv_apd_fe -e flame

Including in Custom Frontend

To include this driver in a custom frontend, you should ensure the environment variable MIDASSYS points to your system install and include a snippet in your CMakeLists.txt similar to the following:

# If the path to the scs2001 repository is outside of the frontend
# repository, you also need to provide a location for the scs2001
# artifacts as a second argument to `add_subdirectory`
# e.g. `./device/SCS2001-High-Voltage-APD`
add_subdirectory(
    <path-to-scs2001-repository>
)
