3.3.0 2026-Jan-30

Added:

Changed:

Now erase maximum out of requested frames in the next acquisition and the
number of frames from the previous acquisition to avoid erroneous timing
values
Update iocDualMini_4ch IOC to use common startup files
Now set XSP3READOUT environment variable to frames by default
in st.cmd if not already set so that readout is optimised for MCA mode
Update from bzip-devel to bzip2-devel in build_xspress3.py
Changed number of cards in ioc_Channel st.cmd files based on assuming
an Xspress 3X system with 2 channels per card (instead of 8 for the
older Xspress 3 systems)
Update of autoconverted .bob screen files
Removed symbol, adl and edl Makefiles as not used

Fixed:

Corrected typos in DefineSCAROI.cmd when loading instances of NDTimeSeriesN
and NDROIStatN templates
Removed duplicate loading of req files of ROIS 10-13 in auto_settings.req
across all IOC examples
Removed dbpf of non-existent $(PREFIX)det1:FrameAdvance PV in
SetMainValues.cmd
Correctly set the datatype for $(P)$(R)DataType_RBV to reflect the type of
NDArrays the driver will produce (based on if DTC is enabled or not)
Now sets up clocks of all cards at same time by passing -1 to
clocks_setup. Previously each card was configured individually in a loop
in xspress3Epics.cpp which caused some synchronisation problems.
Removed duplicate calls to setupITFG() and histogram_start when starting
an acquisition
Now explicitly set channel control registers to the desired data source (based
on $(PREFIX)det1:RUN_FLAGS) between real and playback data. This fixes an
issue where real data could not be acquired if the settings files being
loaded include playback data.
Fixed scalar addresses in the 16 channel XSP3.xml file
Fixed macro in SetChannelValues.cmd to set the number of points in the time
series to MAXFRAMES. The invalid value causes an error in EPICS R7.0.9 and
later.

Changed:

ImageMod unlinking now accepts an argument to choose which modules to unlink
when called
