Synopsis
Argument
Description
Return
Type
Return Size
-log start
Instructs the socket server to log its activities into a file on
the DCS. Do not enable logging except for debugging
purposes, since it will slow down the server and because
there is only limited space for the log file on the DCS.
-log stop
Stops the logging functionality of the socket server. The
command returns the size of the log file.
int
1
-log read
Instructs the socket server to send back the content of the
log file. The length of the server response has to be
inferred from the return value of the "-log stop" command.
char
-testpattern
Returns a test data set with the number of counts for each
channel equal to the channel number. Can be used to
verify the client implementation of the readout mechanism.
int
N
MOD
*1280
*
In the legacy or legacy2 mode, the return size is 1 instead of N
MOD
.
1
In the legacy mode the first frame is read out automatically if the acquisition time is below the automatic readout time. In this case the return type and size
are as stated for the readout command.
2
For a bad edge channel, the return value is twice the value of its neighbor minus the value of its neighbor after next
