Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Folks,

 

Release R3-3 of the synApps dxp module is now available.

 

These are the major items from the release notes:

- Changed Makefile to build with areaDetector 2-0, which has a different layout than previous versions of areaDetector.

- Fixed a bug in mapping modes on the xMAP and Mercury. The problem occurred when the final mapping buffer was just a few pixels and the dwell time per pixel was less than 5 ms. Under these conditions the final mapping buffer might not be read out, and the file saving plugins would not get the callbacks for the final buffer. After acquisition completes both mapping buffers (A and B) may need to be read out, but the previous code was only forcing 1 read, not 2. Changed code to force 2 calls to read the mapping buffers after acquisition completes.
