CasperVector / ADXspress3

EPICS areaDetector xspress3 module

ADXspress3

An EPICS driver based on areaDetector for Quantum Detector Xspress3 electronics.

Run

Change into the iocXspress3 directory:

cd /path/to/ADXspress3/iocs
cd xspress3IOC/iocBoot/iocXspress3

Adapt st.cmd as necessary, and note the number of channels ${XSP3CHANS}. If the corresponding files, eg. xsp3-${XSP3CHANS}ch.req, have not been generated, generate them now:

./xsp3-chan.sh ${XSP3CHANS}

Put the calibration files into the iocXspress3/cfg-${XSP3CHANS}ch directory, and then run the IOC:

../../bin/linux-x86_64/xspress3App ./st.cmd

Compatibility

Backward compatibility for the CARS and QD branches are provided by separate iocBoot subdirectories. Previous users of them, after putting the calibration files into locations they previously use, should first change into the ioc* directory they need (see also other directories in iocBoot), and then use the suitable script (adapt as needed) to start the IOC in the mode they want (if the iocXsp3QD* directories are used, the xspress3App below must be replaced with xspress3AppQD):

cd /path/to/ADXspress3/iocs
cd xspress3IOC/iocBoot/iocXsp3CARS
../../bin/linux-x86_64/xspress3App ./4Channel.cmd

Due to the replacement of spectraPlugins by its successor NDPluginAttribute, any reference to ...:ArrayData_RBV should be substituted with reference to the corresponding ...:TSArrayValue when using the iocXsp3QD* directories. Other features should work like before, as long as the corresponding scripts are preserved, like use_allrois.cmd. Feel free to report compatibility bugs, and meanwhile you are also encouraged to try iocXspress3 directly.
