build

make sure your EPICS_HOST_ARCH environment variable is set. Possible values are linux-ppc64 or linux-x86_64. After that run the following

cd ADPimega
make -j4
cd iocs/pimegaIOC/iocBoot/iocPimega
make envPaths

Run

cd iocs/pimegaIOC/iocBoot/iocPimega
./<Choose detector command file>.cmd

Test

To execute tests, first you need the requirements listed on requirements-dev.txt. Create a Python virtual environment and install those requirements.

When installed, just call pytest with the virtual environment active. To enable verbose output, call pytest -s.

$ python3 -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip3 install -r requirements-dev.txt
$ pytest -s .  # -> Run this to start the test

Important: use the file test/pytest.ini to set custom EPICS and pytest configuration, if necessary.
