Commands:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| StateInput: DevVoid Output: State State Code |
This command gets the device state (stored in its <i>device_state</i> data member) and returns it to the caller. |
| StatusInput: DevVoid Output: ConstDevString Status description |
This command gets the device status (stored in its <i>device_status</i> data member) and returns it to the caller. |
| StartInput: DevVoid Output: DevVoid |
Start |
| StopInput: DevVoid Output: DevVoid |
Stop acquisition. Stop command is sent to the crate and then the server waits that the acquisition is really stopped. It returns after maximum of 10 tests (50 ms between 2 tries) |
| ClearInput: DevVoid Output: DevVoid |
Set internel clear flag so that dxp memory will be cleared on next start command |
| SetLogFileInput: DevVoid Output: DevVoid |
— |
| SetLogLevelInput: DevVoid Output: DevVoid |
— |
| StartMappingInput: DevVoid Output: DevVoid |
Start mapping mode |
| StopMappingInput: DevVoid Output: DevVoid |
Stop mapping mode |
| MappingPixelNextInput: DevVoid Output: DevVoid |
advance the point manually using Host Control mode |
Pipes:
Properties:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| ConfigFileDevString | configuration file |
| LogFileDevString | — |
| LogLevelDevShort | Logging level (from 1:errors only to 4:execution trace) |
| DetChanDevShort | DetChan - unique value assigned to each channel in the system. 0 - the first channel in the first module increasing up to n-1, where n is the total number of channels in the system, for the last channel in the last module |
