Introduction
The detector control system (DCS) hosts an embedded Linux system, on which the MYTHEN Socket Server is
running. The DCS also stores the calibration files for the detector as well as some network settings. A client can
open a socket connection to the server and control the MYTHEN detector by sending the commands listed in
Chapter 7. Example applications in C++ for Linux and Windows are provided on the system memory stick. A
spec
implementation based on this socket interface is available from http://www.certif.com.
To take advantage of new functionality and bug fixes, it is possible to update to a newer version of the MYTHEN
Socket Server within the same major release. The configuration files and the network settings stored on the DCS
will not be affected by the update. The required files can be downloaded from the DECTRIS Ltd. website
http://www.dectris.com.
An upgrade to a new major release usually requires a recalibration of the detector by DECTRIS Ltd. and is
therefore not possible to be performed by the customer. If you are interested in a major upgrade please contact
