Welcome to the camera-interface wiki!

Section 1 is this introduction. Section 2 contains worked examples for using the detector controller server. The remainder of the document is reference material. Section 3 describes the interface specifications including protocol, configuration and possible clients. Section 4 describes the command syntax accepted by the interface. Section 5 describes the FITS header handling by the server. Section 7 identifies some commonly used native commands which are passed from the user through the interface directly to the controller, without interaction on the part of the detector controller server software. Section 8 describes an optional detector controller emulator which can be used for software testing purposes, when a live detector controller is not available.
