Hi David,

 

Ø  But i can't find a description for how to use it in the docs or the code.

 

ADFrameType is used to tell the driver what type of frame to collect: normal, background, flat field, etc.  This is mainly used by drivers that can perform the background and/or flat-field corrections in the vendor SDK, often using an FPGA.

 

There appear to be 6 drivers that currently use ADFrameType.  This is a list of those drivers determined using “find”.

 

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

corvette:~/devel/areaDetector>find . -name '*.cpp' -exec grep -H FrameType {} \;

./ADDexela/dexelaApp/src/Dexela.cpp:    getIntegerParam(ADFrameType,         &frameType);

./ADDexela/dexelaApp/src/Dexela.cpp:    setIntegerParam(ADFrameType, ADFrameNormal);

./ADDexela/dexelaApp/src/Dexela.cpp:    setIntegerParam(ADFrameType, ADFrameBackground);

./ADDexela/dexelaApp/src/Dexela.cpp:    setIntegerParam(ADFrameType, ADFrameFlatField);

./ADBruker/brukerApp/src/BISDetector.cpp:        getIntegerParam(ADFrameType, &frameType);

./ADPixirad/pixiradApp/src/pixirad.cpp:    status |= setIntegerParam(ADFrameType, FTOneColorLow);

./ADPixirad/pixiradApp/src/pixirad.cpp:    getIntegerParam(ADFrameType, &frameType);

./ADPixirad/pixiradApp/src/pixirad.cpp:    getIntegerParam(ADFrameType, &frameType);

./ADPixirad/pixiradApp/src/pixirad.cpp:        getIntegerParam(ADFrameType, &frameType);

./ADPixirad/pixiradApp/src/pixirad.cpp:    } else if ((function == ADFrameType) ||

./ADPCO/pcoApp/src/pco.cpp:  if (getIntParam(ADFrameType) == ADFrameNormal)  // normal

./ADPCO/pcoApp/src/pco.cpp:  else if (getIntParam(ADFrameType) == ADFrameBackground)  // dark

./ADPCO/pcoApp/src/pco.cpp:  else if (getIntParam(ADFrameType) == ADFrameFlatField)  // white flood

./ADmarCCD/marCCDApp/src/marCCD.cpp:    getIntegerParam(ADFrameType, &frameType);

./ADmarCCD/marCCDApp/src/marCCD.cpp:    getIntegerParam(ADFrameType, &frameType);

./ADmarCCD/marCCDApp/src/marCCD.cpp:        getIntegerParam(ADFrameType, &frameType);

./ADPhotonII/PhotonIIApp/src/PhotonII.cpp:        getIntegerParam(ADFrameType, &frameType);

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

 

The Dexela and marCCD drivers are probably the best ones to look at.
