Since data from bars as well as interferometers can be written to frames, we need an additional piece of information to interpret the site geometry data specified in the LALFrDetector structure; for instance, is the x arm really the x arm or is it the long axis of a bar? The LALDetectorType enumeration provides a way to keep track of that.

The possible values are (each value is prefaced by LALDETECTORTYPE_):

LALDETECTORTYPE_ABSENT

No FrDetector associated with the structure

LALDETECTORTYPE_IFODIFF

Interferometer in differential mode

LALDETECTORTYPE_IFOXARM

Interferometer in one-armed mode (X arm)

LALDETECTORTYPE_IFOYARM

Interferometer in one-armed mode (Y arm)

LALDETECTORTYPE_IFOCOMM

Interferometer in common mode

LALDETECTORTYPE_CYLBAR

Cylindrical bar
