v1.0.0

Updated with many new features:

• Proper hardware and software triggering
• Unit testing various complex use-cases
• New EPICS records for more control over image processing and camera capturing

Note

This has only been tested on the AXIS-SXRF-40. It has the Tucsen Dhyana 4040BSI camera electronics and uses the TUCAM SDK to interact with the camera. We use a CameraLink connection and the ActiveSilicon FireBird frame grabber (model number: AS-FBD-1XCLD-2PE4). You must download and install the required software separately.

Warning

There are still some issues that are not resolved with the TUCAM SDK.

• Timeouts on waitForFrame don't always work (we have a separate timeout thread as a fallback)
• Software triggering is completely unreliable and suffers waiting forever for the frame to arrive

v0.1.0

Version in production at NSLS-II's CSX beamline for their Dhyana 4040BSI camera.
