Hi Phil,

One of my drivers is like this, the "dxp" driver for digital pulse processing electronics from XIA.  It has an array of low-level parameters, up to 230 but the actual number used depends on the XIA model.

Here is a link to the overall documentation:

Here is a link to the documentation for the template file:

http://cars9.uchicago.edu/software/epics/dxpDoc.html#dxpLowLevel

Here is a link to an medm screen shot (scroll down to dxpLowLevel.adl)

Subject: areaDetector driver with array parameters

Hi folks,

My areaDetector driver has a large number of parameters to control the camera, some of which are related entities.  The natural way to arrange this in a non-EPICS context would be to provide a parameter that was an array.

Is this possible in an areaDetector context, and if so is there an existing driver that uses this approach?  (I would need to understand how to code the driver, how to create the .template file, and how the values could be adjusted through medm and CSS-BOY).

It may be desirable to allow a variable number of elements in the array - but I'm not yet sure whether that will be necessary.

Thanks in advance,

Phil
