Legacy Versions (Prior to R2.0)

Prior to release R2-0 the areaDetector module is in the synApps Subversion repository at the APS. The “trunk” directory contains the most recent unreleased code, while the “tags” directory contains the released versions.

For releases prior to R2-0 the software can be downloaded from the links in the table below. The software is available both in source code form, and in pre-built form so that it can be used without an EPICS build system. There are separate pre-built binary packages for linux-x86, linux-x86_64, win32-x86, windows-x64, and cygwin-x86.
