Xspress3 Epics Module
Xspress3Epics provides support for Quantum Detectors Xspress3 series of pulse-counting readout electronics for the EPICS Controls System. The Xspress 3 electronics are used with X-ray fluorescence detectors, and provide high performace in throughput and energy resolution. Both single- and multi-element detector systems are supported. The EPICS driver for Xspress 3 is build on top of EPICS areaDetector version 3, and supports all variations of Xspress 3, including the “mini” and “X” series.
The driver was originally developed at Diamond Light Source, but has been developed within the epics-modules for many years. Most of the recent development of the driver has been a collaboration between scientists and engineers working at the Advanced Photon Source and Quantum Detectors, and done at xspress 3 github page.
Documentation for the low-level API to the Xspress3 system are at Xspress3 API Documentation.
