Detectors at different frame rates
More and more often we use more than one detector at id10:
- One for XPCS (often eiger2) that we run at relatively high rep rate (and with the new sparse format we are likely to run at 1kHz all the time)
- One for "diffraction", maxipix or pilatus where high frame rate is not necessary.
Currently they run at the same frequency, resulting in the following problems:
- we are forced to disable the "diffraction" detector when we run at frequencies higher than ~200 Hz
- we sometime get timeout with the pilatus when working at ~200 Hz. We seems to notice less timeouts when we run at lower frequencies.
Can we run two detectors at different framerates ?
Ideally it would be great if the "diffraction" detector could run at a subharmonic of the XPCS detector.
Any other solution (including moving the diffraction detector to the group of sampling counters) might be considered,
