MCA Xia (xmap) failed to install
On ID10 computer wid10xmap1 we tried to install bliss tu run the XMAP detector. This does not work, and below what we did:
install XIA software
Update XIA software first to be compatible with handel python binding from bliss, get the cyril's installer documented here: http://wikiserv.esrf.fr/bliss/index.php/XIA_Electronics_Installation
installer is available from here : ftp://ftp.esrf.fr/dist/bliss/xia/xia_install_bcu_0.8.exe
This install:
- ProSpec 1.1.12
- handel DLL 1.2.17
- xmapds.exe 1.24
Install conda and create bliss env.
- install conda packages pip and git
conda create -n bliss git pip
Install bliss from Git
there is no windows binary package for pygraphwiz
, so updated setup.py to remove this dep.
conda activate bliss
bliss> git clone https://gitlab/bliss/bliss bliss.git
....
bliss> pip install .
update PATH for handel.dll
Test bliss handle
conda activate bliss
bliss> from bliss.controllers.mca.handel.interface import *
