RE: ADLightField start LightField failed

Hi,

Ø  os: windows 7 pro sp1

Ø  LightField version: 4/5.3  

I am not sure what you mean by LightField 4/5.3.  Do you mean you have tried both version 4 and version 5.3? 

 

It appears that you are running a very old version of LightField, 5.3 is from 2015.  The ADLightfield RELEASE.md file says for R2-5 (January 2018) that the version of LightField supported is 6.4.  We are currently using LightField 6.13.1 and it works fine.

 

You need to update to a recent version of LightField if you want to use ADLightField.

 

Mark

Subject: ADLightField start LightField failed

 

Hello,

   I installed the areaDetector and the included ADLightField intended to control the spectrometer SCT320 and CCD-PIMAX4 512 (both are Princeton Instruments and can be controlled by LightField which have been tested). When I execute the command:

..\..\bin\windowns-x64\LightFieldApp.exe st.cmd

then the software LightField page start, but a dialog pops up said: LightFiled has stopped working.

After then, another dialog pops up: AddInProcess.exe has stopped working. I Look into the detail of the description on it, I found System.DllNotFoundException. I do not know if this error caused by some dll files missing, if so which dll files I missed and how to solve it? 

After closing the dialogs (which prompts AddInProcess.exe has stopped working), in the command window that show information related to EPICS there prompts: System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingException: Failed to read from an IPC Port. The pipe has been ended...

I donnot know how to solve these situations, and need helps. 

EPICS base version: 7.0.3.1

areaDetector version: R3-11 (inclued in synApps 6_2_1)

os: windows 7 pro sp1

LightField version: 4/5.3  

 

st.cmd is listed below:
