Implement a way to save rois only, not full spectrum/image #18

Closed ericdill closed 9 years ago

ericdill commented 9 years ago

Yong Chu at HXN would like a way to instruct a detector (1-D or 2-D) to save only rois or stats from the detector so as to not take up unnecessary disk space

Isn't this just using the base area detector class which is not filestore aware?

klauer commented 9 years ago

For 1D detectors, it's just adding a scalar valued PV onto the normal list of scan.detectors.

For saving 2D detector ROIs to disk, it's a matter of specifying the proper input source (referred to as a port in areaDetector/asynPortDriver) in the respective file saving plugin.

I don't think this is something we can solve very well generically, except for just having the environments configured as the scientists desire...
