Release Notes

R2-1 (July 4, 2017)

  • Many improvements to the driver. The initial work was done by Adam Bark from Diamond.
    • Worked with Perceval Guillou at Photonic Science to improve the protocol with the server so it is more consistent and easier to parse. Version 4c3 or later of their server is required to work with this release of the EPICS driver. Photonic Science says that all of their cameras will work with the new server.
      New DLLs will be needed in some cases.
    • Added a CameraName record to select the camera to control.
    • Implemented the asynEnum interface so that mbbo/mbbi records (CameraName, TriggerMode, FileFormat) get their choices from a list provided by the server. This guarantees that the choices will be valid for a specific installation and the selected camera.
    • Added support for color cameras.
    • Improved the report() function.
  • Finished the PSLDoc.html documentation, converting from marCCD document.

R2-0 (March 20, 2014)

  • Moved the repository to Github.
  • Re-organized the directory structure to separate the driver library from the example IOC application.
  • Added timestamps to NDArrays, this was previously overlooked for this driver

R1-9-1 and earlier
