Hi Michael,

I have checked the logs of our IOCs using this PCO driver and haven't experienced the same issue before. We don't make use of the FireWire interface, but I think that should be invisible to the driver.

On top of what Mark has said, is the boot script, built IOC and server identical between your two different PCO setups? Could the server be running out of memory?

Kind regards,

Ben

Hi Michael,


There are 2 placec in Pco.cpp where allocateBuffer is called from, you need to add some debugging to figure out which is generating your error.


The exception is being thrown in this code in DllApi.cpp:


/**
 * Allocate a buffer
 */
void DllApi::allocateBuffer(Handle handle, short* bufferNumber, unsigned long size,
        unsigned short** buffer, Handle* event) throw(PcoException)
{
    int result = doAllocateBuffer(handle, bufferNumber, size, buffer, event);
    *this->trace << "DllApi->AllocateBuffer(" << handle << ", " <<
        *bufferNumber << ", " << size << ", " << *buffer << ", " << event << ") = " <<
        result << std::endl;
    if(result != DllApi::errorNone)
    {
        throw PcoException("allocateBuffer", result);
    }
}



It looks like there is some asynTrace message you can enable to see what is being passed to doAllocateBuffer.   You know that result is a00a3006, so you need to figure out what that error code means.


git grep gives a hint:

corvette:ADPcoWin/pcowinApp/src>git grep 3006
include/PCO_err.h:#define PCO_ERROR_SDKDLL_BADMEMORY                  0x80003006 // Memory area is invalid
include/PCO_errt.h:  "Memory area is invalid.",                       // 0x80003006  PCO_ERROR_SDKDLL_BADMEMORY

Hi Oksana, hi Mark,



I tried the suggestion from Oksana, but with no luck. Still there is the same error.



In the file “Pco.cpp” (located in …/pcowinApp/src/) I found this code, from which the error is coming from (I think…):



/**





* Allocate image buffers and give them to the SDK. We allocate actual memory here,





* rather than using the NDArray memory because the SDK hangs onto the buffers, it only





* shows them to us when there is a frame ready. We must copy the frame out of the buffer





* into an NDArray for use by the rest of the system.





*/





void Pco::allocateImageBuffers() throw(std::bad_alloc, PcoException)





{





// Now allocate the memory and tell the SDK





int bufferSize = this->xCamSize * this->yCamSize;





try





{





for(int i=0; i<Pco::numApiBuffers; i++)





{





if(this->buffers[i].buffer != NULL)





{





_aligned_free(this->buffers[i].buffer);





}





this->buffers[i].buffer = (unsigned short*)_aligned_malloc(bufferSize*sizeof(unsigned short), 0x10000);





this->buffers[i].bufferNumber = DllApi::bufferUnallocated;





this->buffers[i].eventHandle = NULL;





this->api->allocateBuffer(this->camera, &this->buffers[i].bufferNumber,





bufferSize * sizeof(short), &this->buffers[i].buffer,





&this->buffers[i].eventHandle);





this->buffers[i].ready = true;





}





}





catch(std::bad_alloc& e)





{





// Recover from memory allocation failure





{





TakeLock(&this->apiLock);





this->api->stopFrameCapture();





}





this->freeImageBuffers();





throw e;





}





catch(PcoException& e)





{





// Recover from PCO camera failure





{





TakeLock(&this->apiLock);





this->api->stopFrameCapture();





}





this->freeImageBuffers();





throw e;





}



}



Is this a hint maybe?



Michael

Michael’s dbLoadRecords is actually fine.  Oksana has computed the size in bytes, but NELEMENTS is not bytes it is the number of elements in the waveform record, and in this case the FTVL is SHORT, so each element is 2 bytes.



Michael has actually allocated somewhat more elements than required, since  4008*2672 = 10709376, which is fewer than he allocated.



But more importantly Michael’s error is from the PCO driver, which knows nothing about the size of the waveform record being used by NDPluginStdArrays.  This problem is in the driver, not the plugins.

Hi Michael,

I did not see this error, but it might be related to the buffer you allocate for you image. It is possible the driver checks unsatisfactory size and reports the error.



You are using CA protocol Image.

dbLoadRecords("C:/epics/inst-7.0.3.1/areaDetector-R3-9/ADCore/db/NDStdArrays.template", "P=PCO4000:,R=image1:,PORT=Image1,ADDR=0,TIMEOUT=1,NDARRAY_PORT=PCO1,TYPE=Int16,FTVL=SHORT,NELEMENTS=11059200")

with X and Y :

epicsEnvSet("XSIZE",  "4008")

epicsEnvSet("YSIZE",  "2672")



I looked at the datasheet and it says that the pixel depth is 14 bit for this camera, which requires 2 bytes.



4008x2672x2=21,418,752 and you allocated 11,059,200.



Try changing to NELEMENTS=21418752



And see it this fixes the problem.



With best regards,

Oksana

Hello again,



I‘ve been working some weeks now with the pco1600-camera connected via GigE. It works fine with the ADPcoWin-IOC. Great software, thanks to the epics-community!

However, I also try to set up a pco4000-camera connected via Firewire. The IOC starts and finds the camera but everytime I try to acquire an image there is the error:



Failed to arm, PCO error, allocateBuffer returned a00a3006



I guess, there are some settings that I’ve missed…

The camera connects fine with the original camware from pco.

I already tried to set the “QSIZE” , “CBUFFS”, “XSIZE” or “YSIZE” values to different parameters, but with no look. Maybe someone already had this issue?

This is my IOC-startup:
