Description

• This Receiver UDP Thread binds to ports 8192-8195 on a specified address (ANY by default) and receive packets from the UDP streams from the SPIDR/emulator.
• SpidrController and SpidrDaq are used to trigger readout as usual.
• As of 02/10/18, this is reading in packets, parsing them by their packet types (pSOF, pSOR, pEOR, pEOF, iSOR etc.) and putting them in a buffer. Next step is to integrate frame buffering and a framebuilder thread.

Aim

• The idea is to just replace the existing driver classes that handle receiving the UDP packets and framebuilding - receiverThread, receiverThreadC, framebuilderThread and framebuilderThread.
• The interface to Dexter will be maintained unless necessary or it's much more efficient

Build and run instructions

cd src/
qmake && make -j12 && make clean && ./TestMpx3Driver

This is friendly with QtCreator of course, no weird configurations are required

Generate and open documentation

cd doc/
generateAndOpenDocs.sh

Dependencies

• Mostly standard Linux/Unix
• Qt (tested with 5.10 and 5.11, any recent version should work)
• Clang++ (can change this to g++ in the .pro file)
