It is required even if TSE!=-2, because the plugin has no way of knowing what TSE is.

However, it is automatically handled by the plugin base class.

I have now finished the areaDetector task I discussed under the Future Plans section in the original document.  I have also changed the asyn implementation by adding two new asyn shell commands.

I have attached the revised document for asyn, and the new document for areaDetector.

I would appreciate any comments before I release these in the next versions of asyn and areaDetector.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

I read your document, and it seems like a useful addition.

In the future plans section at the end, you mentioned that all plugins will call setTimeStamp to set the plugin timestamp. Will this be required, even if TSE!=-2? Or, if it is required, would it done automatically in the plugin base class? 

Cheers,
Matt
