Re: Implementing NDTransform plugin for areaDetector

["Marco A. Barra Montevechi Filho via Tech-talk" <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

It finally worked!

I just need to keep the configurations suggested by Pearson and change MOBICDTE:Trans1:NDArrayAddress to 2.
It now gets the info from SIM1 address 2 and passes it to image, since

MOBICDTE:image:NDArrayPort = TRANS1
MOBICDTE:image:NDArrayAddress = 0.

Since https://cars9.uchicago.edu/software/epics/NDPluginStdArrays.html  is not online i cant confirm where exactly in the configure function i do configure the "output" port and address, but i reckon its not too hard to do.

Thanks so much, guys.

Mark, about the OPI screen: we are still currently configuring several EPICS tools here, including AD auxiliars.
Unfortunately, im not used to use any of these that you suggested yet. I think understanding how tha plugins work is the first step to start configuring these. I figure caQtDM is the most probable option for near future.

Again, thanks for all your patience 🙂

Can you try changing the 3^rd NDStdArraysConfigure line to be:

NDStdArraysConfigure("Image", 200, 0, "TRANS1", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 5)

And place it after the NDTransformConfigure line?

It worked!!!!

or just parts of it...

Since image is just a combination of image1 and image2 and image1 and image2 get their arrays respectively from port SIM1 address 0 and port SIM1 address 1, changing image to port 0 basically just got half of my image (that which would be image1). It is turned by 90 degrees indeed, but the other half is just black. I append a print screen of it.

I tried reading the documentation to understand better what is happening but https://cars9.uchicago.edu/software/epics/NDPluginStdArrays.html is having a few internal server errors...

Since i cant change the Address of image without loosing half of my image, how should i proceed to make Trans1 get things from port SIM1 address 2? Is it impossible?

I think i finally understand: <PLUGIN>:NDArrayAddress and <Plugin>:NDArrayPort are the port and address in which that plugin searches for the array. Contrary to that, the port and address configured in the plugin initial configuration are the ones in which that plugin outputs the arrays. Is this right?

Also, why does NDStdArraysConfigure("Image", 200, 0, "TRANS1", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 5) needs to be after NDTransformConfigure line? It does work, but i didnt understand the need for this.

Thanks!

Hi,

Since image is being created with ADDRESS=2, i assume what i want is my NDTransform template to have NDArrayAddress = 2. Is that right?

Yes, that sounds right.

So im working with the following thoughts:

1 - I need only one NDTransform template, since i need only image rotated;

2 - NDTransform NDArrayPort needs to be SIM1, since that is from where image is getting its ArrayData info;

3 - NDTransform NDArrayAddress must be 2, since its the same NDArrayAddress where image is getting its ArrayData info;

4 - NDTransform  ADDR (in the template) must still be zero.

All that sounds correct.

 

In the printout below you are changing:

MOBICDTE:image:NDArrayPort "TRANS1"

 

But the ‘image’ stdArray plugin has been configured with NDArrayAddress=2, and the ‘TRANS1’ port is outputting it’s array on address=0. I think it’s only SIM1 that is outputting NDArrays on multiple addresses, but once the NDArray are handled by plugins they are output on address=0 again since they each only deal with a single NDArray.

 

Can you try changing the 3^rd NDStdArraysConfigure line to be:

NDStdArraysConfigure("Image", 200, 0, "TRANS1", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 5)

And place it after the NDTransformConfigure line?

 

You can also try disabling the plugins one-by-one, to see which one is causing the problem. Rather than looking at the end result (the CA waveform), try looking at the plugin detailed screens (or PVs), to see which ones are processing correctly. You can tell if they are processing correctly when the NDArray timestamp or array index are updating. The screens should also show the correct NDArray size, but the NDArray size will remain 0,0 if the plugin is not processing correctly.

 

Cheers,

Matt

If that is right, i expressed these with:

#####CONFIGURING IMAGES#####  
# Create a standard arrays plugin, set it to get data from first simDetector driver.

# portName, queueSize, blockingCallbacks, NDArrayPort, NDArrayAddr, maxBuffers, maxMemory, priority, stackSize, maxThreads

NDStdArraysConfigure("Image1", 200, 0, "SIM1", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 5)

NDStdArraysConfigure("Image2", 200, 0, "SIM1", 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 5)

# *** combined image ***

NDStdArraysConfigure("Image", 200, 0, "SIM1", 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 5)

# This waveform only allows transporting 16-bit images

dbLoadRecords("NDStdArrays.template", "P=MOBICDTE:,R=image1:,PORT=Image1,ADDR=0,TIMEOUT=2,NDARRAY_PORT=SIM1,TYPE=Int16,FTVL=SHORT,NELEMENTS=12000000")

dbLoadRecords("NDStdArrays.template", "P=MOBICDTE:,R=image2:,PORT=Image2,ADDR=1,TIMEOUT=2,NDARRAY_PORT=SIM1,TYPE=Int16,FTVL=SHORT,NELEMENTS=12000000")

######CONFIGURING TRANSFORM##########

# Create a transform plugin

NDTransformConfigure("TRANS1", 200, 0, "SIM1", 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 4)
dbLoadRecords("NDTransform.template", "P=MOBICDTE:,R=Trans1:,  PORT=TRANS1,ADDR=0,TIMEOUT=1,NDARRAY_PORT=SIM1")

############AFTER IOC INIT#####

dbpf MOBICDTE:Trans1:EnableCallbacks 1

dbpf MOBICDTE:Trans1:Type 1

dbpf MOBICDTE:image:NDArrayPort "TRANS1"

dbpf MOBICDTE:HDF1:EnableCallbacks 1

dbpf MOBICDTE:HDF1:NDArrayPort "TRANS1"

So i did this all and i append the full ioc initialization log at the end of this e-mail.
However, when doing an acquisition, i get three weird symptoms:

1 - My QT/PyDM ADViewer, that has channel=ca://MOBICDTE:image:ArrayData and previously was capable of showing it, is now is black;

2 - The IOC spits messages like the following:
epics> 2022/06/23 01:36:30.508 NDPluginFile::doCapture: ERROR, must collect an array to get dimensions first

2022/06/23 01:36:35.965 asynPortDriver:getAddress: TRANS1 invalid address=2, must be in range 0 to 0

mobipix:finiDevices: entering

 

3 - No HDF5 file is generated in designated folder (it was working before).

My next try was doing 

dbpf MOBICDTE:Trans1:NDArrayAddress 0

And retry the acquisition. Now and hdf5 file is generated as expected but not rotated. The illegal "invalid address=2" messages persist.
I also append an image of the viewer when MOBICDTE:Trans1:EnableCallbacks = 0, MOBICDTE:image:NDArrayPort = "SIM1" and MOBICDTE:HDF1:NDArrayPort = "SIM1". It is otherwise black when transform is enabled and image:NDArrayPort points to TRANS1.
Am i forgetting anything important?

Thanks for your patience,

Marco

Subject: RE: Implementing NDTransform plugin for areaDetector

 

Hi,

dbpf MOBICDTE:Trans1:NDArrayPort "SIM1"
dbpf MOBICDTE:HDF1:NDArrayPort "TRANS1"
dbpf MOBICDTE:image:NDArrayPort "TRANS1”

 

Yes, that would be valid.

2022/06/22 19:47:09.533 asynPortDriver:getAddress: TRANS1 invalid address=2, must be in range 0 to 0

2022/06/22 19:47:10.635 asynPortDriver:getAddress: TRANS1 invalid address=2, must be in range 0 to 0

And the messages kept going untill i finally gave up and stopped acquisition. I suspect this has something to do with MOBICDTE:image:NDArrayAddress = 2 and MOBICDTE:Trans1:NDArrayAddress = 0. But i cannot understand exactly what is going on or what is the problem with Trans1:NDArrayAddress being equal to 2.

I’m not too sure. As I understand it, mobipixConfig is producing 3 NDArray objects on different addresses on the same port, like this:

SIM1, ADDR=0

SIM1, ADDR=1

SIM1, ADDR=2

?

So you might want 3 transform plugins with a configuration something like:

NDTransformConfigure(“TRANS0”, 200, 0, “SIM1”, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)

NDTransformConfigure(“TRANS1”, 200, 0, “SIM1”, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0)

NDTransformConfigure(“TRANS2”, 200, 0, “SIM1”, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0)

 

(Or, you could have a single plugin and reassign NDArrayAddress depending on which one you want to deal with).

 

Similarly, the 3 StdArray plugins would be the following, which is what you pasted below:

 

NDStdArraysConfigure(“Image1", 200, 0, "SIM1", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)

NDStdArraysConfigure(“Image2", 200, 0, "SIM1", 1, 0, 0, 0, 0)

NDStdArraysConfigure(“Image", 200, 0, "SIM1", 2, 0, 0, 0, 0)

 

And when you instantiate the database template files, NDARRAY_ADDR would be set to 0, 1 or 2 (not the ADDR, which would stay at 0). So I think the example for NDStdArrays.template which you pasted below might be wrong. The ADDR parameter is the address used by the Asyn port for the plugin itself (to set and read parameters in the plugin), rather than the address of the port used for the NDArray callbacks.

 

Also, if you are using autosave, you might want to delete or rename the autosave file (between IOC reboots) because that can be confusing for complex areaDetector applications if you’ve been trying out different port names and addresses.

I found this in the st.cmd file that i think helps in the discussion:

# mobipixConfig(const char *portName, int maxSizeX, int maxSizeY, int dataType,

#                   int maxBuffers, int maxMemory, int priority, int stackSize)

mobipixConfig("SIM1", 512, 512, 3, 0, 0)

#... a few lines after:

 

dbLoadRecords("NDStdArrays.template", "P=MOBICDTE:,R=image:,PORT=Image,ADDR=2,TIMEOUT=2,NDARRAY_PORT=SIM1,TYPE=Int16,FTVL=SHORT,NELEMENTS=12000000")

But im still kinda lost.

Hi,

 

I think you need to chain the plugins together, rather than have them all point to SIM1.

 

If you modify the StdArray plugins to register for callbacks from TRANS1, it should work.

 

For example:

SIM1->TRANS1->Image

 

The HDF plugin can either point to the SIM1 or TRANS1, depending on if you want the saved image rotated or not.

 

Cheers,

Matt

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Implementing NDTransform plugin for areaDetector

 

Hello all.

Im implementing the NDTransform plugin for an areaDetector IOC made here and following these documentations for this: hxxps://areadetector.github.io/master/ADCore/NDPluginTransform.html# hxxps://areadetector.github.io/master/ADCore/NDPluginDriver.html and hxxps://areadetector.github.io/master/ADCore/NDPluginTransform.html#.

Basically, i want a given image to rotate by 90 degrees and the documentation made me believe that this shouldnt be much trouble. The Array i want to rotate is a PV called MOBICDTE:image:ArrayData. I currently load the plugins via standard plugin file: commonPlugins.cmd inside ADCore and it seems to work since we are saving files in hdf5 format with the HDF plugin. The HDF plugin was also loaded with default macros from commonPlugins.cmd.

However, when i try to rotate the image by doing:

dbpf MOBICDTE:Trans1:EnableCallbacks 1

dbpf MOBICDTE:Trans1:Type 1

simply nothing changes in my visualizer when i start acquisition. I tried changing the configurations in the default commonPlugins.cmd file and comparing them with MOBICDTE:image paramaters but im not getting any luck with this. Does anyone have any tips on how to proceed?

What i tried so far:

The initial configurations were as follows:

 

NDStdArraysConfigure("Image1", 200, 0, "SIM1", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 5)

NDStdArraysConfigure("Image2", 200, 0, "SIM1", 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 5)

# *** image is a combined image of image1 and image2***

NDStdArraysConfigure("Image", 200, 0, "SIM1", 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 5)

 

dbLoadRecords("NDStdArrays.template", "P=MOBICDTE:,R=image1:,PORT=Image1,ADDR=0,TIMEOUT=2,NDARRAY_PORT=SIM1,TYPE=Int16,FTVL=SHORT,NELEMENTS=12000000")

dbLoadRecords("NDStdArrays.template", "P=MOBICDTE:,R=image2:,PORT=Image2,ADDR=1,TIMEOUT=2,NDARRAY_PORT=SIM1,TYPE=Int16,FTVL=SHORT,NELEMENTS=12000000")

# *** combined image ***

dbLoadRecords("NDStdArrays.template", "P=MOBICDTE:,R=image:,PORT=Image,ADDR=2,TIMEOUT=2,NDARRAY_PORT=SIM1,TYPE=Int16,FTVL=SHORT,NELEMENTS=12000000")

 

... #Then elsewhere, from the commonPlugins.cmd file:

NDTransformConfigure("TRANS1", 200, 0, "SIM1", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 4)

dbLoadRecords("NDTransform.template", "P=MOBICDTE:,R=Trans1:,  PORT=TRANS1,ADDR=0,TIMEOUT=1,NDARRAY_PORT=SIM1")

 

and by dbgf i could see that:

MOBICDTE:image:PluginType_RBV = NDPluginStdArrays
MOBICDTE:Trans1:PlguinType_RBV = NDPluginTransform

MOBICDTE:image:NDArrayPort_RBV = SIM1
MOBICDTE:Trans1:ArrayPort_RBV = SIM1

 

MOBICDTE:image:NDArrayAddress_RBV = 0x2
MOBICDTE:Trans1:NDArrayAddress_RBV = 0x0

 

MOBICDTE:image:QueueSize_RBV = 0xc8
MOBICDTE:Trans1:QueueSize_RBV = 0xc8

 

MOBICDTE:image:MaxThreads_RBV = 0x5
MOBICDTE:Trans1:MaxThreads_RBV = 0x4

So i thought i should change Trans1:NDArrayAddress to 0x2 by dbpf. Not only it did not work, but i also noticed that

 

MOBICDTE:HDF1:NDArrayAddress = 0x0

 

And the HDF plugin works fine, so i dont think the problem is the address anymore.

Am i doing something wrong? Im quite new to this plugin concept when applied to Area Detector. Thanks in advance for any help.
