This PR adds preliminary support for the Merlin detector.

It implements a new camera interface to interact with the Merlin software over a socket connection. The new interface can be tested by setting interface: merlin in your camera.yaml. See: instamatic/config/camera/merlin.yaml for an example.

What is working:

  • getMovie
  • getImage
  • streaming to GUI
  • Stable continuous readout

Limitations:

  • Only works under limited configuration conditions
  • Only works for quad setup (512x512) for now
  • No performance optimizations, interface may be slow
  • May have bugs
  • No documentation yet

Addresses #62
