LCXCamera

Tango Server for controlling the LCX Camera from Roper Scientific. The software for the camera runs in a Windows PC. A perl server running in this PC allows the connection via socket from a Linux PC and sends the commands to the camera.

The Server uses two classes: LCXCameraCtrl (Socket interface) and LCXCamera (the interface to the detector).

The code of the LCXCamera class includes the LCXCameraCtrl class.

Before starting the Tango Server, the windows program talking to the hardware and the perl server have to be running in the windows PC:

• Start a sesion in the windows PC connected to the camera (haso052lcx in p10):

  rdesktop -a 16 -g 90% haso052lcx
  

  with the user lcxuser.

• Start the windows program talking to the camera:

  C:\Program Files\PI Acton\WinView
  

• Start the perl server (in a terminal with the perl prompt):

  perl> perl lcxserver.pl
  

• Start the Tango Server in the Linux computer where it has been installed.
