Areadetector error in version R3-8

[Sandeep Kumar Malu - UKRI STFC via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Hi

 

I recently upgrade EPICS base & support modules to latest versions which are as follows

 

base – 7.0.2.2

seq – 2.2.6

asyn – 4-38

autosave – 5-9

astream – 2-6

busy -1-6

sscan – 2-10

areaDetector – 3-8

 

The error I get on loading ADBase template is –

 

dbLoadRecords("ADBase.template","P=Y-CAM:,R=cam1:,PORT=Y-CAM:CAM,ADDR=0,TIMEOUT=1")
Error: syntax error
 at or before ":CAM" in path "/usr/local/epics/support/areaDetector/current/ADCore/db"  file "ADBase.template" line 660
dbReadCOM: Parser stack dirty w/o error. 1

 

Though If I comment these line in ADBase template, I can stream camera without any error

# Set ASYN_TRACEIO_HEX bit by default

 

record(asyn,"$(P)$(R)AsynIO")

 

{

 

field(PORT, $(PORT))

 

field(TIB2,"1")

 

info("ADType", "ADDriver")

}

 

Also please note, there is no such error in Areadetector version R3-5 with asyn version 4-33. The reason for upgrade is to use ADVimba plugin instead of ADProsilica plugin.

 

Many Thanks
