Photron¶
To use the Photron areaDetector software installed on fusion:
[usr32idc@txmtwo]$ ~/remote_fusion
then click on this desktop icon:

or open a dos terminal and type:
cd c:\epics\ioc\32idbSA1\iocBoot\ioc32idbSA1
start_epics.bat
then run:
[usr32idc@txmtwo]$ medm -x -macro "P=32idbSA1:, R=cam1:" Photron.adl
to obtain the Photron areadetector main control:

To collect an image press Acquire Start.
