Detector

The MFX area detector. It reuses the Camera Family, but its acquisition mode is the headline gap.

Enclosure: LCLS-MFX.

Note

The detector reuses the Camera Family (Detector Role). What does NOT fold is how it is read: the LCLS DAQ records a free-running stream of per-shot frames tagged by pulse-ID at beam rate, correlated downstream by fiducial, not a poll-Acquire- to-Done frame loop. CORA's acquisition bodies do not represent this; the per-shot event DAQ is the deepest gap and is sketched in the event-stream-axis design memo (DAQ-1). The detector model (Rayonix / ePix10k / Jungfrau) is to confirm (DET-1).
