Commands provided by the MiniPIX Interface

"command"	description	parameters	output form
mui_pwr()	turns on/off the TPX3 detector	0/1	ack
mui_getStatus()	gets housekeeping data from MiniPIX	-	a string of text, possibly with numeric values
mui_measureFrame()	requests frame acquisition	acquisition time	packetized frame
mui_updatePixelMask()	set pixel mask	pixel coordinates, 1/0	ack
mui_setThreshold()	set energy threshold, mostly for debugging	threshold	ack
mui_setConfigurationPreset()	switches between pre-loaded configurations	preset ID	ack

For consideration

"command"	description	parameters	output form
mui_measureStream()	request stream acquisition (problematic to implement)	duty cycle	packets of measured event pixels
mui_stopStream()	stop stream acquisition (might not be possible to implement)	-	ack
mui_flushBuffer()	request flusing of MiniPIX stream buffer	-	ack
getSinglePxlStream()	requests image stream of single-pixel events (for VZLU)	acquisition time	packetized stream
