Help with Blackfly FLIR/PointGrey Camera

["Smith, William via Tech-talk" <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Hi,

 

I am trying to set up a point FLIR Blackfly camera using the point grey areaDetector support module.

 

I am able to connect to the camera and take images using the supplied SpinView Software. I am able to connect to the camera using the point grey area detector IOC. I can take 1 image in single mode, multiple images in multiple mode, or as many images as I like in continuous mode. However, after 1 or two images in single mode, or the group in multiple, or if I press “stop” in continuous mode, I cannot take any more images.

 

In the IOC I get the following error at the end of the acquisition (in any mode) if there is an error.

epics> 2021/11/15 17:23:46.394 pointGrey:stopCapture: ERROR calling StopCapture Type=35 Description=Error stopping stream.

 

If it’s relevant I have packet size set to 1440 (I am not using jumbo frames)

 

Has anybody seen something similar? Can I enable some additional debug to get more information? Is there some additional configuration of my network card I should check?

 

Many thanks,

 

Will
