Eiger Detector¶
Eiger Detector is a software solution for the control of and acquisition of data from a Dectris Eiger detector. This module is built on top of the detector framework odin-detector which has been created for ease of integration, scalability, and highly efficient data acquisition. The module does not require a particular control middleware to act as a client, providing instead a RESTful API over HTTP.
A web based GUI is supplied with the module as a default client to allow immediate testing once the software has been built.
There is also a separate software repository ADOdin that contains an EPICS client application which can be used to control this software stack.
Documentation¶
The following documentation is available for Eiger Detector:
- The introduction section provides an overview of the various software components and a guide to the odin-detector framework.
- The quickstart guide will show you how to run up the software with very little detail on each step. This guide focuses on getting running quickly and uses a simulator to show the software working without the need for any hardware.
- The installation instructions explain in detail the steps necessary to install the software module on a native linux OS.
- The user guide demonstrates how to operate the detector with the software.
- The reference documentation provides full details of the interactions between components and can be used to create a client for control of the Eiger Detector module.
