Re: Andor SDK3 issue - AT_WaitBuffer fails

[Brett Graham <Brett_Graham@hms.harvard.edu>]

Hi Matthew and Mark,

I recently started getting AT_ERR_NODATA errors when calling AT_WaitBuffer on a Zyla 4.2 (we have 4 and have so far encountered the error on 3 of them, some multiple times).

I found your thread "Re: Andor SDK3 issue - AT_WaitBuffer fails" from October 2016 and was hoping you could provide some advice or update on the error you were getting.

I'm not using Epics but am using the SDK (3.11.30014) on linux (ubuntu 14.04). I've been in contact with Andor and they suggested changing the timeout argument (I was using the exposure time, 25 ms). I doubled the timeout but I just received the error again last night.

Thanks in advance for any information you can provide and sorry if this isn't appropriate for the mailing list.
