Release Notes

R2-6 (2-July-2018)

  • Added support for new PVs in ADCore R3-3 in opi files (NumQueuedArrays, EmptyFreeList, etc.)
  • Added ADBuffers.adl to main medm screen.
  • Changed configure/RELEASE files for compatibility with areaDetector R3-3.
  • Improved op//autoconvert/ files with better medm files and better converters.
  • Set Set ADSDKVersion and NDDriverVersion parameters in constructor.

R2-5 (30-January-2018)

  • Added support for creating the directories for data and background files.
  • LightField.template
    • Change LFGratingWavelength records to LFGratingWL because names were too long for links.
    • Disable PINI for LFGratingWL because it will crash LightField if Step and Glue is enabled.
  • Added support for Step And Glue to collect spectra that require changing gratings automatically. There are records to enable Step And Glue and to set the starting and ending wavelength.
  • Added support for selecting the Entrance Port of the spectrometer.
  • Fixed medm adl files to improve the autoconversion to other display manager files.
  • Added op/Makefile to automatically convert adl files to edl, ui, and opi files.
  • Updated the edl, ui, and opi autoconvert directories to contain the conversions from the most recent adl files.
  • Updated the DLL files to those from LightField 6.4.
  • Changed CONFIG_SITE to disable GraphicsMagick with LightField because it is incompatible for some reason.

R2-4 (04-July-2017)

  • Changed layout of medm screen for ADCore R3-0.
  • Changed LightField.template to prevent crashes
    • LFExperimentName to PINI=NO so it does load the experiment at startup. This seems to sometimes cause problems.
    • Set LFRepGateWidth.DRVL = 1.e-10 so it cannot be set to 0.

R2-3 (20-February-2017)

  • Changed layout of medm screen for ADCore R2-6.
  • Changed default IOC arch from windows-x64-dynamic to windows-x64 to be consistent with the standard ARCH names in EPICS base.

R2-2 (16-April-2015)

  • Add capability to change ADAcquireTime, LFRepGateWidth, or LFRepGateDelay while acquisition is active. This works in both normal acquire and preview focus mode. This matches the capability of LightField.
  • Changes for compatibility with ADCore R2-2.

R2-1 (19-Aug-2014)

  • Finished documentation, LightFieldDoc.html.

R2-0 (4-Apr-2014)

  • New driver added in this release.

Future Releases

  • Support mumber of acquisitions (outer-most loop)
  • Restore previous state of background enable in image completion callback?
