New releases of the following areaDetector modules are available.

 

************************************************************

ADAndor

R2-6 (July 4, 2017)

----

* Changed from using TinyXml to libxml2.  This is used when saving SPE files.  This change was made

* Fixed medm screen layout for ADCore R3-0.

ADLightField

R2-4 (04-July-2017)

----

* Changed layout of medm screen for ADCore R3-0.

* Changed LightField.template to prevent crashes

  - LFExperimentName to PINI=NO so it does load the experiment at startup. This seems to sometimes cause problems.

  - Set LFRepGateWidth.DRVL = 1.e-10 so it cannot be set to 0.

 

************************************************************

ADMythen

R2-0 (July 4, 2017)

* Driver fixes

  - Allow compiling on Windows

  - Changes to work on big-endian machines

  - Fixed error in writeFloat64; was comparing to NUM_SD_PARAMS, should be FIRST_SD_PARAM

* Fixed medm screen to work with ADCore R3-0

 

************************************************************

ADPSL

R2-1 (July 4, 2017)

----

* Many improvements to the driver.  The initial work was done by Adam Bark from Diamond.

  - Worked with Perceval Guillou at Photonic Science to improve the protocol with the server so it is more

    consistent and easier to parse.  Version 4c3 or later of their server is required to work with

    this release of the EPICS driver.

    Photonic Science says that all of their cameras will work with the new server.

    New DLLs will be needed in some cases.

  - Added a CameraName record to select the camera to control.

  - Implemented the asynEnum interface so that mbbo/mbbi records (CameraName, TriggerMode, FileFormat)

    get their choices from a list provided by the server.  This guarantees that the choices will be valid

    for a specific installation and the selected camera.

  - Added support for color cameras.

  - Improved the report() function.

* Finished the PSLDoc.html documentation, converting from marCCD document.

  confirmed that it actually got an image.

  as appropriate.
