Hi Mark

I used base 3.15 for areadetector 3-5 and asyn 4-33. Meanwhile I'll check with base 7.0.3

Also FYI, for me line no 660 points to field(PORT, $(PORT)) in ADBase.template file

Thanks
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep, > 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 > 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. That is a strange error. Line 660 is a blank line at the end of ADBase.template. I am using asyn R4-38 and areaDetector R3-8 with no problems, and I think many others are as well. I notice that you are using base 7.0.2.2. I am using base 7.0.3.1. You said that you did not see the problem with areaDetector R3-5 and asyn R4-33. What version of base were you using with those versions of areaDetector and asyn? I would suggest updating base to 7.0.3.1 and see if the problem persists.
