Binaries

The complete software package is composed of several programs which can be installed (or locally compiled) depending on one's requirements:

• libSlsDetector.so, libSlsReceiver.so:
  The slsDetector shared and static libraries, which are necessary for all user interfaces. The C++ API via the class slsDetectorUsers (installed with the default package) or the Python API via the class sls_detector (installed with the package including Python API), which can be used from the user's acquisition software to control the detectors and the data receivers.

• sls_detector_put, sls_detector_get, sls_detector_acquire, sls_detector_help:
  The command line interfaces, which are provided to communicate with the detectors and data receivers using the command line.

• slsReceiver:
  The data receiver, which can be run on a different machine than the client, receives the data from the detector and processes it. The receiver can be configured, controlled and monitored by the client.

• slsMultiReceiver:
  It is the same as the slsReceiver, but that it is a single process for many multiple slsReceiver child processes. One can configure the start TCP port, number of slsReceiver processes and if call back should be enabled or not.

• slsDetectorGUI:
  The graphical user interface, which provides a user friendly way of operating the detectors and data receivers with online data preview.

• energyCalibrationWizard,angularCalibrationWizard:
  The calibration wizards to analyze the data and produce the energy or angular calibration files.

• The virtual Detector servers to simulate the detectors behavior. However, only control commands work, not the data acquisition itself.
