This is the project for EPICS areaDetector software.
The areaDetector code is contained in repositories in this project. Five of these are "core" repositories:
- areaDetector. This is the top-level repository, and all other repositories are submodules of this repository. It contains mostly documentation, configuration files, and a top-level Makefile to build the entire areaDetector package.
- ADSupport. This contains the source code for support libraries (TIFF, JPEG, HDF5, XML2, etc.). This is required for Windows and vxWorks, and can optionally be used on Linux and Darwin.
- ADCore. This contains the base classes, plugins, and documentation.
- ADSimDetector. This contains an example 2-D simulation detector driver and IOC.
- ADViewers. This contains viewers for displaying areaDetector images in ImageJ, Python, and IDL.
The other submodules (ADProsilica, ADPilatus, etc.) contain drivers and EPICS IOC applications for specific detectors, or non-standard plugins (ADPluginBar, ADPluginEdge, etc.)
