Module uses areaDetector (>2.5) features such as NDPluginFFT and NDPluginTimeSeries. It is based on an ADCSimDetector example provided by ADExample.
It also depends on a Linux kernel driver and user space header provided by CAENELS (in ESS amc-pico8-driver GIT repository).
An IOC is also provided that utilizes this module along with other areaDetector plugins that might be useful when working with digitizers (statistics, ROI, ..).
Along with that Pico8 OPI is integrated into basic AD provided OPI. For demo purposes complete AD OPI are available for quick deployment (with couple of tweaks and bug fixes).
TODO:
- integrate with ESS EPICS timing receiver module for triggering purposes
- make EEE compatible IOC (once ADCore 2.5 is in EEE)
