Data values in Pump&Probe mode seem wrong #44

Open MarkRivers opened 3 years ago

MarkRivers commented 3 years ago

When using TriggerMode=External Gate and ExternalGateMode=Pump&Probe the data are 16-bits. I don't understand this, it seems like they should be 32-bits, 16-bits for the pump counter and 16 bits for the probe counter.

Dectris said that 16-bit data is correct. The only way to get both the pump and the probe data in the current API is via the Monitor interface. In a future release the FileWriter and Stream API will provide 2 16-bit images, one for pump and one for probe.
