areaDetector

The top-level repository for the EPICS areaDetector software. This repository contains mostly documentation, configuration files, and a top-level Makefile to build the entire areaDetector package.

The areaDetector code is contained in submodules under this module. Two of these are "core" submodules:

  1. ADBinaries. This contains prebuilt support libraries (HDF5, XML2, etc.) for Windows.
  2. ADCore. This contains the base classes, plugins, documentation and an example simulation detector.

All of the other submodules (ADProsilica, ADPilatus, etc.) contain drivers and EPICS IOC applications for specific detectors.

The Installation Guide provides build and install instructions.

Additional information:

See the following documentation about the git submodule feature and how it can be used:
