Device Properties
Name
Description
Type
Default Value
CameraID The Id ( = index) of the camera to use int none
CameraModel The model name, e.g. SIMCAM CMOS String none
VisibleAttributes Only the features mentioned here will be shown as attributes.

To find out about the available features of a camera either check
the documentation or put a `.` as the first and only entry of this list.
Then all available features will be turned into attributes.

For features which are of type enumeration (e.g. PixelEncoding)
an additional read-only attribute _Values will
be created. This shows the possible values for this feature on
this camera.
String[] none
FrameBuffers Number of frame buffers in circular buffer used when running
continuous acqisition.
int 10
StupidXMLFile The andor3 sdk lib creates an xml file in the /tmp directory at
startup, but unfortunately does not remove it at program end.
If file creation is not possible because another user ran
a program using the andor lib and the file already exists
the lib causes a segmentation fault.

The server will check for file existence and file ownership
at startup and set state to FAULT if necessary informing
the user via device status about the file being present.
It will remove the file at server shutdown.

Since this file feature is in no way documented in the andor3
sdk doc and the file name depends somehow on the camera you will have to find out:

- make sure the xml does not already exist (if yes, remove it)
- start the server once
- now the file should be present
- enter the file name (complete path, please) into this property

If you are running a simulated camera, no xml file will be generated;
this property still has to be set, just set it to `none`
String none
PushImageEvents If set to true, a data change event will be pushed when data
were written to the image attribute (ViewingMode> 0)
boolean true
