Folks,

 

New releases of the following areaDetector modules are now available. 

 

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

ADAndor

R2-8 (July 1, 2018)

----

* Added support for new PVs in ADCore R3-3 in opi files (NumQueuedArrays, EmptyFreeList, etc.)

* Changed configure/RELEASE files for compatibility with areaDetector R3-3.

* Improved op/*/autoconvert/* files with better medm files and better converters.

 

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

ADPixirad

R2-2 (July 2, 2018)

----

* Added support for the PIXI-III chip

  - New CountMode record to select Normal, NPI and NPISUM count modes.

  - New HitThreshold record to control the VtHit value.

  - Added new pixiradAutoCal iocsh command to set the 7 calibration values unique to each PIII detector.

* Changed AUTOCAL so that it does not read back the calibration images.

  These were not useful, added complexity, and could be confusing to the user.

* Added support for new PVs in ADCore R3-3 in opi files (NumQueuedArrays, EmptyFreeList, etc.)

* Changed configure/RELEASE files for compatibility with areaDetector R3-3.

* Improved op/*/autoconvert/* files with better medm files and better converters.

 

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

ADPointGrey

R2-7 (2-July-2018)

----

* Fixed camera timestamps to use EPICS epoch, not Posix epoch.

* Fixed problem with libflycapture.so in Makefile on Linux.

* Changed configure/RELEASE files for compatibility with areaDetector R3-3.

* Added support for new PVs in ADCore R3-3 in opi files (NumQueuedArrays, EmptyFreeList, etc.)

* Improved op/*/autoconvert/* files with better medm files and better converters.

ADSimDetector

R2-8 (July 1, 2018)

===================

* Changed Makefile to use addprefix to add -I to user-defined include file directory paths

* Fixed so it builds OK if WITH_HDF5=NO.

* Changed simDetector.adl to have the new records from ADCore R3-3.

* Updated the edl, ui, and opi autoconvert directories to contain the conversions

  from the most recent adl files and improved converters.

* Fixed comments in the files in the iocBoot directories.  Thanks to Lewis Muir for this.
