Re: EPICS support for 2-D detectors/cameras

["D. Peter Siddons" <siddons@bnl.gov>]

One feature of ImageJ is that it supports the FITS file format, which is
a simple, flexible, well-supported, open-source image file format. We
intend to adopt that as our standard for the imaging detectors we are
developing.
