The slsDetectorSimulation

In this package a subset of the slsDetector package have been reimplemented, in a simulation mode.

The Receiver Class

It reimplements part of the functionalities of the same class from the slsDetectorPackage. In order to use it, you need to include slssimulation/Receiver.h and link libSlsSimulation.so.

The Receiver class runs a TCP/IP server on the port specified on start-up by the argument –rx_tcpport or -t.

The commands known to the Receiver TCP/IP server are:

  • start: to start generating simulated data (till the stop command is received);
  • stop: to stop generating data;
  • exptime [ns]: to set the exposure time parameter;
  • delay [ns]: to set the delay after trigger parameter;
  • period [ns]: to set the period parameter;
  • detectortype: to set the detector type; an integer value must be used; the options are defined in slssimulation/sls_simulation_defs.h;
  • fpath: to set the output path;
  • fname: to set the root name of the output file;
  • findex: to set the start index of the output file;
  • fwrite: to enable or disable the output file write;
  • settings: to select the settings; an integer value must be used; the options are defined in slssimulation/sls_simulation_defs.h.

The Detector Class

It reimplements part of the functionalities of the same class from the slsDetectorPackage. In order to use it, you need to include slssimulation/Detector.h and link libSlsSimulation.so.

It currently has the limitation that it can only control one simulated detector.

The Detector::start() function will connect to the Receiver TCP/IP server, configure it and start an acquisition.

The Detector::stop() function will stop the acquisition, if still ongoing.
